Travel and Taxicabs
Montreal has public Metro and bus service that links much of the city. The
McGill University Metro (subway) stop is just a couple of blocks south
of the Schulich School of Music, and is on the green line. More information
on public transit can be found at http://www.stm.info/English/a-somm.htm.
It’s also easy to catch a cab in the McGill area, given the number
of hotels within a two block range, but you can also call: Diamond Taxi (514)
273-6331 or Taxi Coop Montreal (514) 725-2667.

Learn more about MontrealThe Tourisme Montreal website is packed with great information including:
Did you know?Founded in 1642, Montreal is the second largest city in Canada with a population of 1.5 million. About 68% of the population of Montreal area is composed of francophones, or people whose primary language is French. Of the remainder, 18% have neither French nor English as their first language and are called allophones, and 14% are anglophones. On the island of Montreal itself, these numbers change and francophones constitute only 53% of the population, allophones 29%, and anglophones 18%. However, the majority of residents have at least a working knowledge of both languages, and a majority of allophones speak either English or French as a second language.
