Arrival at the airport
On August 8th from 09:00-0:00, there will be a "Wikimania Welcome Desk" at the international arrivals hall at the airport. They will be able to point you in the right direction for transportation as well as answer questions about Montréal. If you arrive in the domestic arrivals hall and would like to visit the Welcome Desk, simply walk to the other end of the terminal (arrivals level) 2 minutes away. The distance between the two arrival halls is a 1 minute walk (0.11 miles).

Metro and public transit
La ciudad de Montreal está bastante cubierta por una extensa red de carreteras y transporte público. El transporte público en Montreal está cubierto por la Société de transport de Montréal (STM) que opera los autobuses y trenes de metro. Para quienes vivan en los suburbios, una organización más grande denominada la Agence Métropolitaine de Transport (ATM) dirige y opera los trenes sobre la superficie.
The tickets for the subway are sold through automated kiosks or in person. You can get a OPUS RFID card for simplified public transit, or a tourist pass for 3 or 4 days.
The subway is open from 5:30 AM daily and closes between 00:35 and 01:30.
