> How long was the bus journey from Montreal?

- "long"
- two possibilities:
  A.1 from Montreal Airport to Montreal Downtown. Public transportation 
(Bus #747 at the arrival level) is as good as any taxi. 
http://www.stm.info/English/bus/GEOMET/A-GEO747.htm . ~30 minutes, could 
be much more in rush hour/construction/....
  A.2 Then take the bus to Quebec city from the Montreal Bus center. ~3 
hours. $50.

This bus is ~ every hour.

B: direct bus from Montreal Airport to Quebec bus center
  http://www.orleansexpress.com/Corpo/service_aeroportuaire.aspx
  (can't find the details however).

It's about 1.5 Km from the Hilton (and the Delta), which could be walkable if you're OK dragging bags up the hill (Quebec isn't as hilly as San Francisco at its hilliest, but it's uphill to the hotel). If not, taxis are to your left as you walk from the bus toward the bus terminal, and mine was $10 CDN including tip.
