The metro station is actually very clean, quiet, yet quite busy and active in the morning. I wish we had started taking the Metro earlier in our trip as we would've made this the go-to form of transportation as it was quite cheap compared to what you would pay in America. Instead of getting a one-day or three-day unlimited pass, we decided to get direct one time route passes at $3.25 Canadian per pass. The trains get you to your destinations fast and the whole experience is great. The trains are quite modern, new, and clean. We found that the stations were very quiet and the ridership very courteous, polite and friendly (versus what you experience in America).

VIA Rail from Montreal to Ottawa on Business Class was an exceptional experience. We discovered…read moremany places to purchase breakfast pastries, sandwiches and coffee. There are also many tables and chairs where you can eat and wait for your train. After asking questions to the VIA workers at our gate, we discovered we were entitled to hang out in the VIA Lounge (too bad we did t know earlier as we could have had our coffee there). When it was boarding time, we were escorted to the escalators (non-business class had to walk down stairs with their luggage) that took us to the platform. Once we began the ride in our reserved seats, we were given warm towels, fed lunch (similar to an airline meal), served beverages (including wine), served chocolates....what a way to travel! I love train travel!

While there is Les Halles with many places to eat, etc., the dark, cavernous feel overall appears that they were inspired by New York's 1968 (not today's) Penn Station!

For the past three years, there's all kinds of construction around this station, still it is convenient to rue St Denis and Rue Berri (on the southern ends).

My friend and I took a train in a prime time and see how busy they are. We bought round trip to go to Biosphere from Chinatown then come back to old port.

Entrance is spacious with stairs leading down to the ticket booth where I ended up asking for help and practicing my French at the same time. Unlike NYC subway stations, Montréal's are ALL staffed and you have the option of self-paying at the kiosk or paying with the ticket person. Now I truly know- how New Yorkers feel about tourists. But this is what sets Montréal from NYC apart every time for me: not one single person rushed us. No one was huffing and puffing and talking under their breath. Much less, the person at the ticket booth, wasn't cut and dry and went the extra mile to even circle where to hop off from the Sherbrooke Line. Merci! We eventually bought 2 Round-Trip Métro cards for $12. The chip in the card allows you to swipe on their Turnstile scanner and you can load and reload funds in it as you go. I was highly amazed at how clean Montréal's Métro system is maintained with super wide platforms at that! But I was more impressed with Montréal's outrageously quiet rail. Freaking amazing. Montréal never ceases to amaze me!

There are several exits that lead to UQAM (University), library, bus terminus or streets. I strongly suggest to wash your hands and your phone after walking through there. There could be times that the escalator doesn't work which could be tough for people who can't walk up or down the stairs. It's usually clean in terms of not much litter on the ground. There are janitors always around. As well, this station doesn't smell unless it's the elevators to the ground exit. It could smell like marijuana or urine. A plus is it one of the stations that starts the earliest and go sober the latest. It's great of you don't want to take a taxi or Uber . You will see homeless people inside asking for money but they aren't disruptive. They also may be sleeping, drinking or smoking.
