Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is very convenient in Saint-Nicolas. Many real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as Autoroute Jean-Lesage, and it is very convenient to come across a parking spot. On the other hand, the transit system in this part of the city is not very accessible. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is served by about 40 bus lines, and it is very easy to find a nearby bus stop from most homes. The bike is a sometimes poor mode of transportation in Saint-Nicolas because travelling by bicycle is made arduous by the typically hilly topography, and the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. Nevertheless, some bike-friendly pockets exist. Saint-Nicolas is also not very conducive to people who prefer to travel by foot as meeting daily needs is difficult without the use of a vehicle.
