Commuter Trains

The system is divided into five fare zones, numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 (there is no Zone 4). The fare system is based on the assumption that travellers are going to or from the downtown terminal in Zone 1. As such, there is no reduced fare if, for example, a traveller makes a trip from Zone 5 to Zone 2, or entirely within Zone 3.

Zones 1 and 2 are within the City of Montreal ( The Island of Montreal (in French, île de Montréal), in extreme southwestern Quebec, Canada, is located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers.
