Living · Without a car · Longueuil · October 13, 2026
Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Longueuil, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in Longueuil without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. The Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro reaches downtown in one stop; the RTL bus terminal concentrates the South Shore lines there. Michel-Chartrand Park is the South Shore's great urban park, with trails and deer; Parc de la Cité, in Saint-Hubert, adds a lake and paths. Pro: Longueuil metro, Saint-Charles Street and Old Longueuil, the Université de Sherbrooke campus, the river and the parks. Con: Parking and traffic around the metro and the Jacques-Cartier Bridge at rush hour. For those who want the city without the island: the metro, the cafés of Saint-Charles Street, a campus.
Living in Longueuil without a car: what our neighbourhood guide says about the metro, the train, the bus, the bike lanes and what is done on foot, then a clear verdict, deduced from a rule we write out in full. No commute time is invented: the sentences are the guide's, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ.
The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Longueuil: you can live here without a car if work is on the line, and the rest is done on foot, by bike or by bus.
"Without a car, yes" when the guide names a metro, a REM or a train serving the neighbourhood, without the guide saying it is lived by car. "With a single car" when the guide names only the bus, or a train that neighbourhood life is not enough to replace. "A car is a must" when no metro, REM or train serves the neighbourhood on foot and the guide says it is lived by car. The rule is the same for all 53 neighbourhoods; it does not replace your real commute on a Tuesday morning.
For those who want the city without the island: the metro, the cafés of Saint-Charles Street, a campus. Less so for those seeking new construction: the stock is older and renews through renovation.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Longueuil: you can live here without a car if work is on the line, and the rest is done on foot, by bike or by bus.
The Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro reaches downtown in one stop; the RTL bus terminal concentrates the South Shore lines there. The Saint-Hubert exo train station serves the Saint-Hilaire line. The Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Route 132 and Highway 20 complete the access.
The real commute to work on a Tuesday morning, at rush hour, and the walking distance to the grocery store, the school and the daycare from the shortlisted street: two streets in the same neighbourhood are not equal. An old stock that renews itself through renovation: little new construction, pre-1960 houses to maintain.
