Ste.Pierre also boasts the State's only mass transit system with the SRail a Subway system that links the Airport to downtown.Nestled in the valley is Downtown and over the 4 valleys taht are nearby is the suburbs and airport being nestled in the valley adds to the citiy's snowfall totals as storm systems have a harder time climbing over the mountains.
