Central Station is next door to the Bonaventure metro (subway) station. Follow the signs to get to the metro and take the orange line going in the direction of Montmorency. Get off at Berri-UQAM station. An entrance to UQAM is well marked in this station, so just follow the signs. When inside the University, you will see signs pointing the way to the Gathering.
Public transit
UQAM is connected directly to the Montreal subway by the Berri-UQAM station.
During your stay in Montréal for the Gathering, most likely you’ll use the metro (subway) and possibly the bus. Make sure to carry change to buy tickets. A single metro or bus ticket costs $2.75. We suggest you buy a set of six tickets for $12; this way you save $0.75 on the cost of each ticket.
