Transit
From the AirportDepending on how busy stuff is, immigration and customs can take 30-60 minutes. There's an easy-to-find bus to Centre-ville just outside. There should be some pretty clear signs directing you to a ticket booth. This bus will cost you $16 and takes about 45 minutes. It stops at a few hotels downtown, and as its final stop will drop you off at Berri-UQAM station. It leaves every 30 minutes until 9pm and then it goes hourly.
Schedule
Taxis are $38 to Centre-ville from the airport (it's a flat fee). If there's no traffic it takes about 20 minutes.
Berri-UQAM Station
If you're taking the bus in, this is where you'll get dropped off. If you're flying in and take the airport bus into town, you'll get dropped off here also. It's also a metro hub.
Guy-Concordia Station
Where you go for the workshop. There are stairs/escalators that take you straight into our building.

Closest station to the apartment. Take the blue line towards St. Michel, transfer at Jean-Talon station to the orange line towards Côte Vertu. Transfer at Berri-UQAM station to the green line towards Angrignon, get off at Guy-Concordia station.
