Toronto to Montreal

[melliemel 0]

Hello all,

I just priced on expedia for 2 people from To. To Mtl. I can't believe that it's over $500. I guess we will be driving. Unless anyone has a better site I can find.

Did you check out the prices of train tickets.

Thats how my son and I got from Nova Scotia to Montreal

We took the train. First class was about $400 for the 2 of us, and it was fun, a great experience.

Check out the via rail site.

The train is good if you book it far enough in advance to get Comfort or Super Comfort Class. It should be about $170 round trip. The bus, while 8 hours, isn't really that bad and comes in at $90 round trip. Avoid flying if you can, it's quite a ways to the airport and will make it that much more expensive, expect about $300 each if you do decide to fly.

We took the train on our honeymoon to get from Ottawa to Toronto, it was so pretty, and sooo much nicer than our bus trip in november (ick).

Train. Best of the best... and you don't have to go through airport security, be there an hour before, blah blah blah!

I love the train. It is so relaxing from start to finish. The best part is not having to find parking! It is downtown.

I also agree with La Tour Centre Ville. It's affordable, across the street, and 2 blocks from a Timmy's!!!

Agree with others.. try WestJet... if it's still more, then the train is probably the best way to go.

This is one case where I wish JetsGo didn't go under. Melissa and I got a flight from TO to MTL on JetsGo for get this about $250 for both of us... I could believe it... Still can't... that's probably why they went under

we made the drive as I lived west of Toronto. The drive isn't so bad, around 6 hours. However, the driving in Montreal is not good. They're crazy. It's like driving on the 401 during rush hour in the center of the city and throw in some pedestrians. We also drove cause since we were staying overnight we thought we'd see a bit of Montreal.

This is Canada. EVERYTHING is two blocks from a Timmy's.

Has anyone thought of Greyhound (or one of the other bus services)?

Point well taken My new office has a Timmy's downstairs but the closest one to my former house is 2.5km!!! (for now!)
