The REM (Reseau Express Metropolitain) is Montreal's brand new era of rapid transit! This weekend, the new light metro rail system opened to the public for free rides before it enters revenue service on Monday, July 31. The first phase is open from Gare Centrale in downtown Montreal to Brossard (a suburb south of MTL). It's a very clean and efficient light metro system that will see most of it expanded to the rest of the suburbs over the next four years.

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

Thanks so much! Lots of videos to come from MTL!

According to Wikipedia, the REM is supposed to go directly to the airport in the future, which in turn will eliminate STM bus route 747.

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

Yup that will definetly be a game changer

@sylvainbeaulieu6300 Год назад

For the airport not before 2027

@yoyobass100 Год назад

Something similar happened on the silver line expansion on the DC metro; it eliminated Metrobus route 5A which went to Dulles International Airport.

@@AlexGetsAroundTOThe best part is that the REM will take Opus.

Great video. I enjoyed hearing you be in awe of this station and system---lots of "wow's". Also, I learned alot from the commentary. Many folks chimed in to this video. This video almost has 100 likes. Excellent!!! (Ana V.)

Always appreciate your amazing comments!

I was there at Central Station and the line was pretty long. I waited over an hour to ride the train and once we got onto the station , I knew we were all in for a treat. My overall thought on the REM is that it is fast, reliable, clean, modern and a plus is the free wifi. The fact that we finally have an outdoor metro makes this day exciting. This makes me feel anxious to have the extension complete soon so I won’t have to ride that scrap bus to Cote Vertu every day.

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

I waited about 40 minutes in line but it moved quickly. I was very lucky to have witnessed history before having to catch the train back to Toronto. The light metro will obviously be a game-changer for the suburbs of Montreal so definitely looking forward to when it extends to the West Island and airport. Big congrats to you guys for finally having what should be a reliable metro system.

I managed to get there early enough to be on the first train out on Saturday. Heck of an experience. Everyone with me in the front car cheered when we broke out into the open air onto the viaduct.

@mrtransitfan647 Год назад

So this is what the trains would be like for The Ontario Line.

Ce que l'on a besoin c'est une totale intégration des systèmes du transport la STM, les trains de banlieu, Laval, Longueuil, etc. Moi, j'habite proche à 3 différentes stations Henri-Bourassa, Sauvé et Ahuntsic(train de banlieu). La modernisation, la rénovation et l'expansion sont toutes nécessaires. Beaucoup des montréalais se sont installés dans les banlieus et travaillent en ville. Si l'on veut moins des voitures et congestion sur nos autoroutes, il faut faire plus des travaux d'infrastructures.

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

C’est vrai.

@OdinWannaBe Год назад

Oui ce genre de transport va donner plus de place aux gens qui ont réellement besoin de voiture pour entrer sur l'ile.

@kalvinpedroreyes9278 Год назад

I wasn’t able to do the whole line until Brossard because of the huge crowd so I had to stop at Du Quartier Station and ate lunch there and came back to Montreal using the REM

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

Yeah I heard Saturday they had to stop accepting people because of the huge crowds

@Mark_72 Год назад

The big hall at central station is called: The hall of the lost steps. / La salle des pas perdus. 😂

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

Lol

@Mark_72 Год назад

This because of the echoing of all the steps all around, you end-up losing your own steps sounding, in the mix. And it’s truly the real name of the hall.

@kalvinpedroreyes9278 Год назад

Once the REM opens in St Laurent I won’t need to use Cote Vertu again

@zhou_kaw Год назад

better than Vancouver sky train

Much cleaner

There was a project around 2010 to link Trudeau Airport directly to Gare Centrale, going between the CN & CP railways. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J26pjJgG5Jw.html

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

Wow and finally you guys are getting that

@Molarium Год назад

@@AlexGetsAroundTO Sadly the project (2010) was never built. It would have been a perfect link for the Airport Shuttle. I heard the CP did not want to move their tracks (the Shuttle would have run between the two railways in the Dorval area), so the project was abandoned. The Shuttle Airport Station was built below the then new Marriott Hotel. It is still there but used as a parking. Strangely, the new REM Station is being built more in the middle of the Airport, due to the fact that the REM will go in a northern direction and to lower the cost of the tunnel under the runway. We will have to wait until 2027 for the completion of the link, it will be the last REM Station to open.

@ferds1243 Год назад

do you think it’s faster than vancouver skytrain

@AlexGetsAroundTO Год назад

I’ve never been on the skytrain but probably about the same speed

@sylvainbeaulieu6300 Год назад

Top speed can reach 92 km/h

@ferds1243 Год назад

that’s quote fast i think the vancouver skytrain can reach up to 80kmph
