Transportation and ground access
The airport is approximately 20 km from Downtown Montreal and offers transportation by taxi, app-based ride services, buses and rental cars. The 747 bus is the main public transportation option to the city center. The airport does not currently have a direct operational rail connection; a link to the REM network is planned for 2027.
Ongoing airport redevelopment works may cause congestion on roads approaching the terminal. For passenger pickups and drop-offs, the Express P4 and P10 areas offer an alternative to the busiest terminal access roads, with free shuttle connections to the terminal building.
Trips between the airport and Downtown Montreal have fixed fares of CAD 49.45 during the day (5:00 AM–11:00 PM) and CAD 56.70 at night (11:00 PM–5:00 AM). For destinations outside the fixed-fare zone, fares are calculated using the taximeter.
App-based ride services, such as Uber and Lyft, use designated pickup locations. For UberX and standard ride categories, passengers should proceed to the Leigh-Capreol area, accessible from Door 28 on the arrivals level. Uber Black has a separate pickup area near Door 25. Passengers should follow the instructions provided in their app and the airport signage.
It operates two main routes:
• Lionel-Groulx: connection to Lionel-Groulx metro station in approximately 30–35 minutes, where passengers can transfer to other parts of the city.
• Downtown Montreal: service to Berri-UQAM and the Gare d’autocars de Montréal, with an approximate journey time of 45–70 minutes, depending on traffic.
The standard 24-hour fare for the 747 bus is CAD 11.25 and includes unlimited travel during that period on STM buses and metro services within Zone A. Certain valid transit passes are also accepted.
Tickets can be purchased from STM ticket machines and the information counter near Door 28 in the international arrivals area. Passengers can also pay on board using coins for the exact fare.
Other local bus services connect the airport area with different parts of Montreal and nearby communities.
To reach the rental facilities from the terminal, passengers should head toward the Leigh-Capreol area, accessible from Door 28 on the arrivals level, where they can take a free shuttle to P4. Once there, signs direct passengers to the rental car offices.
Rental companies with facilities outside the airport grounds provide separate pickup services, generally from Door 8 on the departures level.
Renting a car provides flexibility for traveling around Montreal and continuing to other destinations in Quebec without relying on public transportation schedules.
