"747 Airport Bus" Buses Tip by brazwhazz

In 2010, Montreal finally set up a decent bus service connecting its airport and downtown. Called the 747 Express Bus, it is much cheaper than a taxi: a single trip will only set you back $8 (compared to at least $40 with a cab). In fact, most public transit fare cards include access on the 747.

Bus frequency varies between every 20 minutes during the busiest times of the day to every hour during the night.

The only caveat is if you don't have a fare card and decide to pay $8 for a single trip, you must pay with coins -- no bills or credit cards. It is generally much simpler to just buy a 24-hour pass (they are available at the airport, most downtown metro stations and the tourist information centre), which also costs $8 and can be paid for in any manner.
