Montreal's 747 Airport Express bus - some quirks
| 08/06/10 | Categories: Handling, Information, Marketing, Ticketing, State of the ART | by: A Sharp 
The leaflet about the 747 express bus service between Montreal and Trudeau airport says it runs 24 hours a day.
A quick look at the timetable in the leaflet shows that the departure at the top of the list was at 6:00 from the city. 24 hours?
I then looked at the bottom of the list to see when the last one was - and it was at 5:13!
There was indeed a 24 hour service: early morning departures are at the memorable times of 0:25, 0:55, 1:26, 2:12, 2:57, 3:43 and 4:28.
Why are these not at the top of the column?
And at one of the stops, someone got on wanting to pay for his ticket. His US dollar bills were rejected, as was his Canadian $5 bill. The driver would only accept $7 in coin.
I'm not sure where I'd get $7 in coin in Montreal at 6:15 in the morning; and if I'd been turned off the bus for that I'd be tempted not to use it again! It's better at the airport - there is somewhere selling tickets!
