The Montreal REM (Réseau Express Metropolitain) is an automated suburban metro connecting Montreal to it's suburbs. It is the first metro system in Canada to use platform screen doors at all stations and the first automated metro on the East Coast. When the line is fully open it will cover over 60 kilometers of track which is around the same length as the entire Montreal Metro. The trains used on the line are Alstom Metropolis metro trains with a green and white livery. Frequency aims to have trains running every 2.5 minutes during peak hours and every 5 minutes off peak. The ride is comfortable, quiet, and smooth with great views of the Montreal skyline. The ticket price is integrated with the ARTM fare zones and the rest of Montreal's public transit system. I truly think this is a step forward in North American transit as it shows that good, frequent, and fast public transit can be built. I recommend anyone in Montreal to try it out and use the system when it's fully open. Enjoy the video :)
