Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Terrebonne, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in Terrebonne without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. Terrebonne station, on the exo Mascouche line, leads to Central Station; exo Terrebonne-Mascouche buses reach Montmorency metro in Laval and the Radisson terminus in Montreal. Île-des-Moulins and the Rivière des Mille Îles park are Old Terrebonne's leisure heart; the TransTerrebonne, a bike path crossing the city, the Cité du sport, the aquatic complex and the arenas complete the offer. Pro: A complete city (hospital, CEGEP, Old Terrebonne, train station, highways) with the widest house choice on the North Shore. Con: Highway 25 to Montreal is tolled, and the Pie-IX Bridge is saturated at rush hour. For families who want a complete city (hospital, CEGEP, old village, station, highways) with a house under $600,000 and the North Shore's largest choice; for those working in Laval or eastern Montreal.
Living in Terrebonne 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 Terrebonne: 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 families who want a complete city (hospital, CEGEP, old village, station, highways) with a house under $600,000 and the North Shore's largest choice; for those working in Laval or eastern Montreal. Less so for those who want the metro or a fast rise: most of the rise is done, and the 25 comes with a toll.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Terrebonne: 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.
Terrebonne station, on the exo Mascouche line, leads to Central Station; exo Terrebonne-Mascouche buses reach Montmorency metro in Laval and the Radisson terminus in Montreal. Highway 25 and the Olivier-Charbonneau bridge (tolled) lead to Laval and eastern Montreal, Highway 640 crosses the North Shore east to west, Highway 40 runs along Lachenaie toward Repentigny and Montreal.
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. Highway 25 to Montreal is tolled, and the Pie-IX Bridge is saturated at rush hour.
