Public transportation to the symposium:

To get from Montreal to Boucherville you need to make use of two different transport systems: the Montreal system (STM = Soci�t� de transport de Montr�al, web site www.stcum.qc.ca) and the suburban South Shore system (RTL = R�seau de transport de Longueuil, web site www.rtl-longueuil.qc.ca). For the Montreal system, a single cash fare is $2.50 and a strip of six tickets can be bought for $10.00. For the South Shore system, the single cash fare is $2.90 (exact change required) and a strip of six tickets costs $12.35.

In Montreal, use the Montreal metro (subway) system. Take the green line in direction Honor�-Beaugrand and get off at Radisson station (next-to-last). Go to the north side of Sherbrooke Street (sortie Sherbrooke nord). There you take the RTL bus number 61. At rush hours a bus leaves every 20 minutes, but outside of rush hours and on weekends the interval is 70 minutes. Scheduled departure times are 8:10, 9:20, 10:30, etc. until 00:30. The bus will take the tunnel underneath the river, follow Autoroute 20, and take the exit for De Mortagne. It will then turn left to cross over the autoroute (IMI will be on your left). At that point it will turn right, passing in front of the Comfort Inn and WelcomInn. If you tell the driver where you are going, he should let you off at the nearest stop.
