How should I get to Montreal, you might ask?
Well it certainly depends on where you live and what your plans are. For instance, if you happen to be visiting (or living in) Burlington or Boston, there's a Greyhound bus that can hop you right over (of course, you still have to go through customs both ways). A few other New England cities have bus routes that can hop you over, but the rest of the US will probably have to take a plane.
Taking a bus from Burlington to Montreal was much more affordable than flying. It cost us $35 each to go roundtrip.
The downside, because of course there is one, is that Greyhound can be unreliable. During our trip, the bus from Boston that would pick us up at BTV broke down in transit. The next bus did not arrive until over 4 hours later and it was crammed full of people. So despite the fact we had been waiting all day, we were smooshed to the back of the bus near the toilet - not a fun experience, I can assure you.
All-in-all, if I could do it all over again, I would have separated my Burlington and Montreal trips so that I could fly to Montreal instead of taking the bus.
