Patches accepted, latest version can be found at https://www.infradead.org/~willy/linux/lsfmm2025.txt Montreal ======== Montreal is the second-largest French-speaking city in the world. Despite that, you can generally manage without speaking any French; they are accustomed to tourists. Transport ========= Montreal primarily uses the metro; it is an entirely underground system. Entrances are indicated with a blue downward pointing arrow. The Delta hotel is between McGill and Place-des-Arts metro stops on the green line. Train announcements are only in French but signage is bilingual. Tickets for the STM (https://www.stm.info/en) are valid on both busses & metro (but not local rail which is a different system that you won't need to care about anyway). Travel to and from the airport is a special $11 fare which includes 24 hours of travel. You can use a credit card to buy fares from a big orange machine; while you can pay on the bus, everybody will look askance at you for slowing them down. You'll get a credit-card sized piece of card with an embedded antenna; you can break it by folding it, and it is not recyclable. While you could buy a plastic OPUS card, this will not be a wise investment decision.
