From Montreal Trudeau airport to Downtown

Hi, I am getting confusing information on payments.

I get it, only coins on the bus 747 (which I won't have).

The confusing part - will I be able to pay cash or credit card to buy a 3-day pass at the airport? (have both, cash and credit card). Looking at STM website, some pages say no, only one-way from the airport. Some pages say yes, I can buy a 3-day pass.

We'll stay for 2 more days after arrival using public transport only. (arrival, 2 full days of sightseeing, next day a taxi to cruise pier).

Yes -- but probably from a machine rather than a driver.

Does the machine take credit cards? I will want to do this too for a 4 day stay in Montreal in September.

I emailed them, and got a reply: cash or credit card (Visa, MC). Some posters said, a credit card without a chip won't work - not sure about that.

We are back June 21, I will post a report a little later.

... and I still don't have the answer

There are machines to get tickets, some strange word for cards mentioned, we had enough cash, this is what I paid. By the way, the machine only takes $5, $10, or $20, so have some small bills on you.
