Going from ottawa to la ronde?

Question

A friend and I are going from Ottawa to Montreal on the greyhound bus. After that what busses do we take to get to La Ronde and about how long should it take?

Answer 1

The Berri-UQAM Metro (subway) station is located right next to the inter-city bus terminal.

For a lovely walk through the park: take the metro direction Longueil-Université de Sherbrooke station (yellow line); get off at the first stop: Metro Jean-Drapeau. Walk Through the park to La Ronde is 15 minutes.

No walking: Take green line towards Honoré-Beaugrand, get off at 2nd stop (Metro Papineau) and take bus 169 Ile-Ronde (south). Total travel time is 33 minutes.

(Once you've entered the subway, don't forget to grab a transfer stub for the bus)

A great tool for transit questions in Montreal is called "tous azimuts" on the STM website. Have a great time.

Answer 2

I did this trip (coming from the East Coast though) once as well, but it's been a while...

Anyway, you'd probably get a lot more answers if you asked this in the Montreal section and asked how long it took to get from Berri-UQAM (that's the name of the bus station you'll be arriving to) to La Ronde by bus.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'll need to take a city bus from the station, as I doubt Greyhound goes to La Ronde directly.
