[edit] Station Features

The station boasts a large bus terminal with 10 platforms and an indoor waiting area. The building features an AMT ticket counter as well as a convenience store and a coffee shop. In addition, the station has parking for some 1300 cars — 644 free outdoor park-and-ride spaces and 698 paying indoor spaces. The indoor spaces cost $6 a day or $80 per month (if a user purchases a monthly parking pass).

[edit] Origin of name

The station is located next to Cégep Montmorency. The CEGEP got its name from François de Montmorency-Laval (1623–1703), the first bishop of Quebec and New France from 1674 to 1688.
