It would be good to get it on the website, I missed it on the Wiki.  I'm curious what you think about doing this route at 10pm.  Should I be worried about crime or anything like that?</blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Also, I'm not sure if there are, but it might be nice to have other options for people who don't want to go the public transportation route. Things like, how much should a cab cost?  What is a standard tip locally?  Do the cabs take credit cards?  In the US "shared ride vans" have become popular.  Basically they are cabs, but the company organizes splitting a cab with someone (usually 3-4 people).  Are there such things in Montreal?</blockquote><div> Hi Ted, Here is the info on cabs from the airport: <a href="http://www.admtl.com/passenger_services.aspx?LangType=1033&id=52">http://www.admtl.com/passenger_services.aspx?LangType=1033&id=52 </a> And yes, you can take a cab as a group and each pays its share of the total amount. About the time of day, I wouldn't be worried in Montreal at 10:00 PM. But this is really up to you. One thing to keep in mind is at that hour you might wait longer for metro and buses than earlier in the day so it might be advisable to take a cab an split the bill. Hope that helps!
