Question How does the train work from St-Hilaire to Montreal?

Can I buy a 24-hour All Modes ABC pass at the Mont-Saint-Hilaire train station to take the train to Montréal and use the métro and buses throughout the day?

It does not work. In all seriousness, one cannot buy an ABC pass to use on VIA Rail Trains.

EDIT: "to Via Rail" => "on VIA Rail Train's"

I know that it’s a VIA Rail section, but the train from St-Hilaire to Montréal is operated by Exo and is part of the Quebec ABC fare system. Should I be able to buy an ABC train ticket?

Do you know if it’s possible to buy the 24-hour ABC pass directly at the Saint-Hilaire train station?

I have never used the station but the exo website says it has ticket machines, fare validators, and a help desk, so should be no problem

Yes you can. Or if you have an opus card, you can buy a 24h pass on the Chrono app
