By arriving at the Vancouver train station early, I was easily in time to board the VIA Rail Canada…read moretrain to Jasper, which would depart Vancouver at around 3 p.m. and arrive in Jasper the following day at around 11 a.m. Jessica introduced herself as our cabin attendant and explained meals and how to get the benefit of our cabin details. My roomette had a bed that would fold down from the upper part of the cabin and included an en suite toilet. Showers were available one car down, and we would have our meals in the dining room as part of the fare. Because I travel solo, I asked Jessica if she would go the extra mile and bring my dinner and the next day's breakfast to my cabin - and happily, she agreed. For agreeing, I tipped her $20 and tipped $20 for dinner and again for breakfast; and I tipped her $40 upon departing in Jasper. Jessica was thoughtful, helpful, and knew how our trip would proceed. Note that nothing in the rail's documentation suggested that meal service to our cabin was a part of the deal - I'm grateful for Jessica's willingness to spare me from having to take my meals with others. Upon boarding, I explored the various cars of the train: there was a meet-and-greet reception with small bites and prosecco, the scenic view from the dome cars were exactly as beautiful as advertised, and we made the trip right on schedule. I would reiterate what Jessica told all of us in the cars she was responsible for: if one person introduced waste into the toilets that clogged the works, all our toilets would be clogged. That happened on the morning of my departure, but fortunately there were toilets in the common areas of the train cars that continued to operate despite the blockage.

On our most recent trip, the train hit a tree on the tracks, and we were delayed by 2 hours and 20 minutes. The conductor kept us up to date the entire time, giving a detailed plan of how it was being handled, and ordered us all pizza to deliver to the train when we finally arrived at the next station. Anyone who missed a transfer was either shuttled or taxi'd to their destination. And we were all offered a 50% travel credit for the inconvenience. Amazing customer service!!

Despite being a Saturday afternoon, the train was standing room only. The signage at Metro Rosemont was easy to follow, maybe even easier than Washington, DC and New York City. The metro is a great and affordable way to move around the city. Also, I imagine it is really great to take the metro during the cold, winter months since it felt a bit warm in April. I recommend that you take the metro when visiting Montreal.

The Beaudry Station was always clean when we'd hop on, and we always felt completely safe while we waited (which I can't say for other large cities I've used the trains/subways in). The Beaudry stop was right in the middle of The Village so it's nearby a lot of attractions, shops, and eateries too. Is the train a glamorous mode of transportation? Not at all - but it's a budget friendly way to get around if you plan to move about a lot during your visit.

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 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!

The station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro. This station is named for Mount Royal Avenue (av.

There are dozens of shops and restaurants, as well as bars and bakeries. Many festivals occur in this area, which is pedestrian for much of the summer months.
