Driving to 3600 Van Horne
from Autoroute Décarie (S)
from Autoroute Décarie (N)
from city centre
(a) from Autoroute
Décarie
3600 Van
Horne is easily reached from Autoroute Décarie, the sunken six-lane
highway skirting the [south-]West of Central Montreal (see
map).
Coming from the South on Décarie:
- On entering
the short tunnel near the south end of Autoroute Décarie, ensure
that you are in the nearside (right-hand side) lane.
- Immediately
after the tunnel, take the exit ramp signposted Queen Mary. Do not turn
right yet!
- Carry
straight on Boulevard Décarie, which runs parallel with Autoroute
Décarie (now below and to your left), until, after about two
kilometres, you arrive at the intersection with Avenue Van Horne. At
this point you should be in the right-hand lane.
- Turn right
on to Van Horne, following it round a couple of slight bends, past a
park on your right, then a shopping centre and metro station (Plamondon)
on your left. Continue up the slope and flat past another set of lights
until you arrive at the corner of Van Horne and Côte des Neiges
(map).
- Parking.
Coming from the North on Décarie:
- Take the
first exit, signposted Jean-Talon
- Continue
straight on Boulevard Décarie (runs parallel to right of Autoroute
Décarie) past three sets of traffic lights (1: Jean-Talon; 2:
Vézina/Ferncroft; 3: Plamondon/Barclay]).
- At the
Van Horne lights (I think theyre the fourth), turn left, bridging
Autoroute Décarie, passing Plamondon metro station on your left,
and crossing Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges (see
map) (Parking).
(b) from city centre
From the
[south-]West end of the city centre:
- Take Rue
Guy up the hill. This becomes Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges.
- Continue
until you reach the corner of Van Horne (see detailed
map).
Parking
Iif not available
close by on Van Horne, try Avenue Linton (parallel with Van Horne) or,
if that fails, the part of Decelles between Linton and Parc Kent. Parking
is not advised on Côte-des-Neiges see this
map or this one or this
one).
Montreal public transport tickets
For travel
within the island of Montreal (includes downtown, chez Tagg and much more!)
you can either buy an all-week card (carte hébdomodaire),
or a strip of six tickets (lisière de tickets), or single
tickets at any metro station.
The all-week
card is simple. You just swipe it through the groove at metro station
turnstiles and wave it in front of bus drivers.
With tickets
the procedure is slightly more complicated.
On entering
a metro station you put your ticket through the slot (not the long groove)
provided at about knee height on the turnstile and walk through (the machine
keeps your ticket), or you put it in the little transparent box at the
ticket office and you will be let through manually.
On entering
a bus you put your ticket in the slot machine by the driver. In return
the driver will automatically give you an interchange ticket you can use
at the metro station (see below).
If you want
to first take the metro and then the bus, you must get an interchange
ticket from inside the metro station, after you have passed through the
turnstiles. Interchange ticket machines at metro stations are nondescript
grey metal boxes. You press the white button on the machine and will receive
an equally nondescript strip of white paper which you have to keep until
you produce it for the driver on the bus you subsequently take.
If you want
to first take a bus and then the metro, you keep the ticket the
bus driver gives you in exchange for yours when you enter the bus and
then insert the ticket he/she gave you in the appropriate slot at the
metro station turnstile. Once inside the metro station you can then get
yourself an interchange ticket for a second bus, if you need it (see above).
