Transportation

The car is very often the best way to move around in Dorval. Parking is generally easy, and the majority of real estate listings are a very short drive from the nearest highway, such as Autoroute Chomedey. On the other hand, the public transit service in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area is not particularly frequent. Nevertheless, it is easy to find a nearby train station, such as the Gare Dorval, Gare Valois and Gare Pine Beach with access to the 11 - Vaudreuil/Hudson, from most properties in the city. There are approximately 40 bus lines traversing the city, and the nearest bus stop is typically around the corner. This city is not very conducive to those who prefer to travel on foot because common amenities such as hair salons or banks can be an occasionally long stroll away.
