Grand Prix weekend in Montreal is almost here, and it promises to be a bustling time with tens of thousands of visitors expected to attend the event.

As the largest sporting event in the country, over 100,000 people per day are expected to visit the site.

Montreal officials are strongly urging fans to leave their cars at home, as parking spots will not be available for all the spectators.

While cabs are an option, city spokesperson Philippe Sabourin strongly suggests that the best way to get to the Grand Prix is by transit, biking, or even walking, due to the heavy traffic expected on the Jacques-Cartier Bridge.

In addition to the traffic near the Grand Prix site, downtown Montreal will also be bustling, with celebrations kicking off Thursday morning on Crescent Street.

So there you have it, Montreal—make sure to load up your Opus card with STM passes. It will be your best way to join the festivities without wasting time in traffic!
