The increase of traffic in the greater Montreal area is a cause of concern for road network users. Navettes Maritimes du Saint-Laurent offers an audacious solution to avoid traffic jams, with its alternative transportation system on the St. Lawrence River.
Board a maritime shuttle and escape trafic
AML Cruises offers a river shuttle service to avoid using your vehicle during peak hours. From Montreal to Longueuil via Île Sainte-Hélène, you can cross the river while relaxing and admiring the horizon. Starting your day to the rhythm of the river will certainly be more peaceful and invigorating than traveling in a crowded subway! Very ecological and inexpensive, the shuttles are an affordable means of public transportation during the summer season!
The departure point for residents of the south shoure is the Réal-Bouvier Marina in Longueuil, situated in Parc Marie-Victorin. You will then arrive at the Jacques-Cartier Pier in the Old Port of Montreal. It’s the ideal way to travel for people who work downtown. These crossings are available from May to October.
There is also an express transportation system that runs between the Old Port of Montreal and the Parc Jean-Drapeau from May 19th to October 8th. The Parc Jean-Drapeau is an ideal place for biking but it can sometimes be difficult to get there by public transportation. The maritime shuttle provides you with the necessary space for you and your two-wheeled racer. You can then visit the Parc Jean-Drapeau or Île Ste-Hélène by bike. You can explore three trails for a total of 15 km, including the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit, the perimeter of the Olympic basin and the path in the Floralies gardens.
Increasingly popular, the Navettes Maritimes du Saint-Laurent greets no less than 100 000 passengers annually, amongst which 30 to 40 % come with their bikes. The AML Cruises maritime shuttle system is an alternative to using your vehicle and facilitates travel during summer. A unique way to spice up the sleep-commute-work routine!
