    Transport

    With four distinct clusters, the underground city boasts 29 km (18 mi) of walkways.

    Train

    Once the railway hub of Canada, Montréal is still the rail centre for eastern Canada. It is served by Canada's two transcontinental systems, the Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railways, as well as by American railways.

    Airports

    Two major airports serve Montréal. Dorval takes care of domestic and international scheduled passenger flights, whereas international charter and cargo flights go to Mirabel. Together these two airports served 8.9 million passengers in 1996.

    Cars

    Major freeways converging on the city were built during the 1960s and 1970s, connecting it with the Trans-Canada Highway and with the freeway system of the United States.

    Cars are cheaper than in most European countries and all vehicles must comply with strict safety and emission regulations. Gasoline/petrol costs around C$0,68 (€ 0.49) per liter (US $1.70 per gallon). Importing a car can be difficult and time-consuming.

    Parking

    It's $12 a day in city centre.
