Here’s everything you need to know about Montreal transportation at BRiX:

Metro/Train

When it comes to Montreal transportation, our Metro is Canada’s second-busiest rapid transit system and North America’s fourth busiest rapid transit system, after the New York City Subway, the Mexico City Metro, and the Toronto subway! The Metro was inaugurated on October 14, 1966. Since then, it has expanded from 26 stations on three separate lines to 68 stations on four lines totalling 69.2 kilometres! That means you can get all over the island of Montreal with connections to Longueuil and Laval.

At BRiX, you’re only a seven-minute walk from Central Station! This station is a major access point for all Montreal transportation types, including the Metro, buses, and trains. Located in Montreal’s heart, Central Station is a gateway to the downtown core no matter where you need to go! From here, you can take via rail trains all over Canada and commuter trains around the city. You also have access to the Bonaventure metro station and McGill metro. But wait, there’s more! You’re also less than a 10-minute walk from Place D’armes metro and Square Victoria Metro. These underground transportation options are ideal for getting around the city fast, and in winter, you barely have to be outside!

Bus

BRiX is located near a robust bus network! The De Bleury / René-Lévesque bus line is only 3 minutes away from BRiX. This stop serves the 129, 365, 465, and 480 buses. You also have the René-Lévesque / Jeanne-Mance line with buses 150, 350, 355, 358, 364, and so much more! But that’s not all! Central Station is also home to several bus services, including local business and 10-minute max services, all-night services, express services, and shuttle buses straight to the airport. When you rent an apartment at BRiX in downtown Montreal, you can go anywhere anytime!

Bike

Did you know Montreal has more than 700km of bike paths? Montreal was rated one of the most bike-friendly cities in North America by the Copenhagenize Index. Our city is credited with inspiring other major cities around the world to build more bike paths! There are several great bike rentals in the city, or you can try out Montréal’s BIXI system, or use your bike to get around Montreal. We love bikers at BRiX. It’s why we have an indoor street-level bicycle garage complete with a repair station and we even rent bikes for as low as $15 per day!
