Public transport Montreal

The public transit system takes you almost everywhere. The city has a metro (68 stations on 4 lines) that even goes to Laval (North Shore) and Longueuil (South Shore). If it is not in operation at night, more than twenty night buses take over and cover the entire city. The blue line of the metro will be extended to Anjou in the east of the city (inauguration date under review).

BIXI (contraction of BIcyclette and taXI), a self-service public bicycle system, is available in several areas of the city. You can borrow a bike (including electric BIXIs) from one of the 900+ stations, either for a few hours or for the day (there are many special offers on monthly and seasonal subscriptions). It's extremely advantageous for people making short journeys each time. If you'd like to have a bike for your leisure time, we recommend you use a rental company.

Located in a beautiful green space on the famous bike path that runs along the Lachine Canal, Ma Bicyclette invites you to take a break. Bicycle repair service, shop and café a few metres away to enjoy a latte, beer, fruit juice or pastry (with a view of the canal!). In addition to offering quality bike rentals (road, hybrid, mountain, tandem, etc.), Ma Bicyclette has teamed up with the Tours de la Table company for a guided bike tour, Mangez et Pédalez, to discover street cooking (www.toursdelatable.com).

Ideally located on the edge of La Fontaine Park and at the corner of two major bike paths, this space is a little paradise for cyclists: a boutique, a travel agency dedicated to cycling tours, the offices of the Vélo Québec association and even a friendly café! Outside, a pump and tools are available to all. On Monday evenings, speakers who are passionate about cycling will share their adventures with you (reservations online). Bonus: small terrace in the shade in summer.

A benchmark in bike rentals for nearly 30 years, with models to suit all tastes: comfort hybrids, road bikes, electric-assist bikes and children's bikes. The staff are extremely courteous and provide essential tourist information. Ça Roule Montréal offers other services as well, such as cycling courses, guided bike tours (young family, bike & gourmet, private tour, etc.) and even walking tours, repairs, maintenance and a boutique corner (bikes, accessories, etc.). Highly recommended!
