How to get from Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport (YUL) to downtown

Montreal has good public transit operated by the STM, serving most of urban Montreal well. Unfortunately, it is not easy to use public transport to get from the airport to downtown Montreal. We recommend using a taxi or the L'Aérobus, if you want to save money.

How to get from the Central Train Station (Gare Centrale) to McGill

VIA Rail Canada trains and the Amtrak Adirondack from New York City arrive at Gare Centrale (Central Station). It's a 15- to 20-minute walk to the conference site or a short (but possibly slow) taxi ride. Gare Centrale is connected to the Bonaventure Orange Line station, but you'd have to change to the Green Line at Berri-UQÀM, so it's probably faster to walk.

How to get from the Central Bus Station (Station Centrale d'Autobus) to McGill

The bus station is connected to the Berri-UQAM metro station. For C$2.75, the Green Line (direction Angrignon) will take you to Place-des-Arts station, from which you can take the 80 or 535 bus a couple of stops to New Residence Hall. If you're going straight to the Trottier building, get off at McGill and walk up University.

Location/Facilities

McGill University is an English language university located in downtown Montreal. The presentations will take place in the Trottier Building, which offers smaller rooms for workshops, a large auditorium, computer labs, as well as several break-out rooms and open seating areas.
