[TOSprint] Montreal Code Sprint Reminders

[Daniel Morissette]

I just called the hotel and unfortunately there is no shuttle that goes 
straight to their door. There seem to be 3 options to get from the 
airport to the hotel:


Option 1 - Express Bus 747 + Subway:

That's the option that Mike pointed out, but I think he made a small 
mistake in his explanations:

Take the 747 express bus from the Airport. The bus goes to Berri-UQAM, 
but do not go all the way to Berri-UQAM, you need to get off at the 
Lionel-Groulx stop, and then connect to the Metro Green Line (1) 
towards Station Honoré-Beaugrand. Get off at Station Peel (Stop ID: 
10138). You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

At 3$ this is the cheapest option.

Option 2 - Taxi:

It seems that the simplest option is a taxi: there is a fixed price of 
38$ for a ride downtown in the area of the hotel. (The person at the 
hotel insisted that this is a fixed price and if the driver asks for 
more then he is trying to screw you)

Option 3 - Train:

VIA Rail offers a train shuttle from their Dorval train station to 
downtown (Montreal Central Station). The Dorval train station is not 
directly on the airport so you need to take the "AirConnect" shuttle to 
get to the train. More details here:

http://www.viarail.ca/en/useful-info/related-services/montreal-airport-shuttle
"""
After landing, go to the domestic or international flights terminal 
exit, where you'll see a clearly marked AirConnect stop. The shuttle 
comes by every 20 minutes, and will take you to the Dorval station for free.
"""

Then Google suggests that the shortest route is to get off the train at 
Station Vendome, then take red line (2) towards Henri Bourassa and get 
off at Lionel Groulx. Finally take green line (1) towards 
Honoré-Beaugrand and get off at Peel.


I will add those informations to the wiki.
