Because all official lodging locations
are within walking distance of the Palais des congrès de Montréal, site of
nearly all scientific program activities for the 2005
ESA
-INTECOL Joint
Meeting, no meeting shuttle service will be provided between these locations and
the convention center. However, shuttle service will be provided to the Welcome
Mixer, the Sunrise Fun Run/Fun Walk, and offsite workshop locations.
For those who prefer not to walk, the
city of
Montreal
offers an excellent public transit system served by the STCUM (Société
des transports de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal). Besides the subway
system, there are about 140 bus routes and two major commuter train lines.
Please be aware that the metro lines shut down
around
12:30 AM
. There are, however, about 20 all-night bus
routes that run until around
5:30 AM
. The metro is a safe, clean and fast way to get
around. Lines run from east to west and from north to south intersecting at
Berri-UQAM station. Stations are indicated by large blue signs with a white
arrow pointing down.
