Every time I go to Montreal, I park the car and I walk or take the metro everywhere…read more The metro offers many options like single ticket, ticket for evenings, ticket for weekends, ticket for a whole week, for three days, for a month, etc. This allows for customers to be able to maximize the savings based on their expected needs. Excellent fare system and excellent trains....they are clean, on time and they run very frequently. A great way to explore the city.

I have been coming to Panama since I can remember moving to Montreal first. I like the size and the…read morenew map system that they created for people to use in order to get to the buses more quickly without much problems. They changed the place around but made easy signs for you to get to the quadrants of your bus. The only major problem here is theres no heated closed system for winter. I remember many a times where I freezed myself almost to death. Why? Because theres no heater running. Sighhh

This bus terminal located in Longueuil, on the south shore of Montreal, is the main connecting hub…read morefor all regional buses. There is also under this bus terminal a subway station connecting to the Montreal subway network. From there there are , on a regular time schedule, buses connecting to downtown Montreal. A few years ago they have renovated most of the installation there which was, believe me, not a luxury but a necessity. Actually the renovation works where done only in the bus terminal. The wing where the subway is, still looks like 20 years ago! Unfortunately they are not planning any renovation works any time soon. At least now you can wait your bus in a covered and heated place. Before, in winter, you would litteraly freeze your ass outhere since the terminal is right next to the St-Lawrence River in a very windy spot! Inside the terminal there are various shops and restaurants to soften your wainting time. But I have to say that the ambiance is pretty "cold". It was really design only as a transit hub. A few years ago the Sherbrooke University opened a huge campus in an adjacent building. For the students this is great since it's very easy to get to the University with public transport. In short this terminal is really only a transportation hub and definitely not a place to enjoy a cup of coffee!

Well, we're in strange days territory with much of Montreal closed in an attempt to slow the spread…read more(flatten the curve!) of the Covid-19 pandemic, so I thought I'd use some of my time to write some love letters to Public Transportation. Because I do love public transit, I think it's important and beautiful and necessary and an epic feat of technological and social engineering. And in particular I love Montreal's metro system. And in particularist, I love De Castelnau. The station was inaugurated in 1986, but it doesn't suffer from the 80s overall design aesthetic. It was designed to refer to Italian architecture since it's positioned at the top of Little Italy. It was named after Rue De Castelnau which gets its name from the French general Édouard de Curières de Castelnau (1851-1944), who defended the French town of Nancy against the German army in 1916. It is lofty and bright and carved in warm beige stone - Travertine apparently. it features these amazing little vignettes carved into the stone of scenes inspired by Jean Talon Market by Quebecois artist Jean-Charles Charuest. Charuest was a local artisan gifted at carving these gorgeous birds out of semi-precious stone, and there's a delicacy and vivid sense of life in all his scenes that reminds you of someone who thinks a lot about how to render birds in stone.

Right before everything and everyone went into lockdown, my elderly parents had to return to…read moreMontreal from the States. Under normal circumstances, my parents would take a taxi from the airport and it wouldn't be a huge concern for me, but with the COVID pandemic, I was especially worried and preferred to have them travel in a larger car with more space between them and the driver. Unfortunately, I didn't think of the idea until an HOUR before their expected arrival, I frantically searched and called 6 limo services and even the Montreal airport info desk. They were all busy, already had limited drivers due to the pandemic, or didn't even answer that was until I reached Mimo Limousine! Nash, the owner of Mimo, answered and was immediately understanding, accommodating, prompt, and polite. He had no problem finding a driver, getting to the airport on such short notice and even had a "meet and greet" service where Robert (the designated driver) held a personalized sign at the luggage/customs door for my parents to see. The car was clean and big, and although I would have preferred a car with a divider, my parents found it very spacious and my mom chatted with Robert the whole way back. My parents do not speak French very well, so it was fantastic that Robert is bilingual. Since my parents don't have a mobile phone, another aspect that I was very happy with was that I was texted that my parents had been picked up. It was a big relief that things turned out better than I had expected! The end total (+ tax and tips) came out to be CAD$162. It was a bit pricey for a ride to Westmount, but I am very happy with the overall process and service.

This is a Superb limousine and car service company in Montreal. I needed to arrange two transfers…read morein a snow-worthy SUV for my teenage son from a downtown Montreal Hotel and a Mont Tremblant Ski Resort and a return ride from Mont Tremblant back to YUL. Usually I stay at five star luxury hotels (and fly first class) and I always have the concierge arrange all my limousine and airport transfers so I can be assured of two things: 1. Absolute reliability because the hotel (and its business/reputation) is on the line. 2. Bespoke service and state of the art fleet of cars. As a consequence, I get what I want at a premium price. This time, a made the very smart decision to contact Mimo Limousine and deal with Nash, the consummate professional, directly. First of all, the service was prompt and courteous and incredibly professional. All my questions about pricing, types of vehicles, estimated travel times were answered immediately and professionally. These were rather expensive rides as the distance was significant and travel time exceeded two hours. However, if I had used the services of a five star hotel (think Four Seasons), the price was about 35% - 40% more. I cannot overstate how reliable the service was: I cannot tolerate tardiness and the drivers were early. Safety comes first with Nash and his clients and he makes it clear how important that is. Since the two plus hour ride was straight up into the mountains, this was a relief. After all, my son was the sole occupant in his way to a skiing holiday with his university buddies. The really nice part about Mimo and Nash personally: he stayed in contact with me so I could relax: he texted me when my son was en route, he texted me when my son arrived at his destination. (This way I didn't have to text my son to know he'd arrived, etc). Nash also provided my son with the driver's info so they could communicate. Nash was patient, kept all his promises and charged a fair price for excellent service. Please, do yourselves a favor if you always travel premium class, and use Mimo for any of your ground transportation needs in Montreal and its environs.
