Transport: Montreal's sensible layout combined with an extensive and
super-efficient public transport system (Metro, bus and commuter
rail services) make getting around the city easy. In fair weather
hundreds of kilometres of bike paths that span the island offer a
healthier, pleasant option. Public transport is run by STM. The
pristine metro has dozens of stations along four different lines
with numerous stops in the subterranean mall. The metro stops are
all integrated with a comprehensive network of city bus routes. The
metro and buses run between 5.30am and 1am, with a limited night
bus service filling in. The inner city services in turn connect to
a commuter rail network that serves the suburbs. Fares are standard
on both the bus and metro and transfers are free; a discounted
tourist pass is available for bus and metro. Metered taxis can be
hailed in the streets downtown or ordered by telephone. There are
numerous car rental firms in the city, but roads are often heavily
congested and traffic jams are common.
