To get to CERCA

By metro (subway)
The Metro system in Montréal has a well-deserved reputation for efficiency: it is clean, safe, frequent (trains every 5-7 minutes), fast, quiet, and, except at rush hours, relatively uncrowded. The system consists of 65 stations on four colour-coded interconnecting lines covering approximately 64 kilometers of track (map of the system). The station for CERCA is Snowdon (situated at the intersection between th Blue Line and the Orange Line, west). When you come out of the Snowdon station, you will be on Queen Mary Road: take on the right and CERCA is located approximately 300m from there (see a map of the area).
Fare : Single ticket: $1.85; 6 tickets: $8.
