Last night we went to a friend's party in the Old Port in Montreal. We left the party around 3am, a little too late to take the extended Metro service back to the Plateau. I tried getting us an Uber or a Lyft, but they were exorbitant and unavailable. So, we trudged a few blocks through the dumping down snow, and picked up the night bus outside the Notre Dame basilica.

There were people laughing and playing around the huge lit-up stars outside the cathedral. We ran to catch the bus just as it arrives, and grabbed some of the last seats. Everyone coming on had a layer of snow on their toques and scarves and shoulders which they shook off on the floor.

@evan Minor point: you were probably at the Basilica, not the Cathedral.

On our ride to the Plateau, we stopped a dozen times -- each time picking up laughing, tipsy, snowy people. The bus got crowded and loud but the vibe stayed sweet and positive. By the time we got off at St. Denis and Mont-Royal, it was packed. We were lucky to squeeze out the door.

You are lucky: here the last bus is at 10pm, and after that you have to walk.
