Getting around Dorval: commuter rail, buses and airport access
Between the commuter rail station, Montreal's buses and the airport next door, Dorval moves fast — if you know the right lines and fares.
The commuter train
Dorval station is served by the commuter rail line linking the West Island to downtown Montreal. Schedules change with rush hours, so check the official timetable before leaving. At rush hour, it's often faster than a gridlocked Highway 20.
Buses and connections
Montreal's bus network serves Dorval with local routes connecting neighbouring areas and transfer points. The airport express bus runs 24 hours a day, handy for night shifts or early departures. For areas with thinner service, a shared shuttle by reservation completes the offering.
Fares and the OPUS card
Fares are managed at the metropolitan level, and a single reloadable card works on both the train and the buses. The cost varies by travel zone, so check the fare schedule before buying. Students, seniors and children qualify for reduced fares.
