I can't stand how the media is covering the few minor glitches that have occurred - they run with the worse quotes from people like "It's a disgrace!" or "I'll stick with my car!". They never quote anyone who has an optimistic opinion on the issues nor do they explain that these are minor glitches that will be caught and worked out in the coming weeks. It's infuriating because this bad messaging only discourages people to use the service.

A radio station did a 30 minutes segment on the Ottawa train and were making (up) parallel with the REM at every occasion. They then interviewed someone who kept saying that despite the delay they had a great time and the interviewer was trying to make them say "how bad was it"? Very frustrating I agree!

I'm a full time student at McGill from the Brossard who used to take rush hour busses that go downtown to get to class. I tested commute times and found out that I'd have to leave home 10 minutes earlier than I usually do to get to class on time due to the removal of busses that go to Montreal, since they got replaced by the REM. The REM has no competition, therefore no incentive to improve or maintain its services other than public backlash. We need to hold them accountable for their mistakes, unlike most of the people who I see in the comments who aren't locals and won't be punished by the consequences of a REM failure.

I'm not sure but this seems pretty slow. For example from 9:30 to 11:00 the train has a long stretch of straight track ahead of it and still the cars are faster. You already lose time going to and from transit stops, so the ride itself should at least be faster than in a car.

it work like metro de montreal, a car on highway is faster than train and metro but what with congestion on highway or bad weather or when worker need to repair the road ? and train and metro dont need to stop at stop sign or red light or because the driver ahead you want to turn, but cant because car or people, driving in montreal can be sometime or too much messy because that so with train it is just you avoid red light, stop sign, other drivers, valerie plante going into derp mode so currently we are in vacance du travail, it is in 1 week and especially in september we will see who is faster train or car

@RMTransit: I must say that, for a brand-new transit system, REM's automated trains are traveling at a rather LEISURELY pace. Perhaps it's because the system is SO new that it must first be completely "broken in" before the trains can be allowed to run at higher speeds. Better to be safe than sorry. Clearly they need to fine-tune their station-announcement system - "Panama" mentioned twice when the station after it should have been announced as, "Du Quartier." As it stands, the REM is barely competitive with automobile travel, as can plainly be seen from its trains as they cross the St. Lawrence River alongside the highway bridge, where cars are regularly outpacing the train. Thank you for sharing with us viewers your front-window-view ride along this first-to-be-opened section of REM's new network. Very nicely done. I am curious - were there any on-board train staff?

I read that the average speed of the new REM is 50kmh per hour, and that the REM can only reach its top speed of 100km/h on the Champlain bridge exclusively.... To be honnest a 50 km/h average speed is really disappointing considering how much money went into this new modern transit project.
@justsamoo3480
@justsamoo3480 11 месяцев назад
What did you expect?? Like obviously an urban transit project will have a lower average speed because it has to stop at stations. That requires slowing down.
@jan-lukas
@jan-lukas 11 месяцев назад
​@@justsamoo3480the thing is, when you're accelerating uniformly from 0 to 100 or decelerating from 100 to 0 your average speed in just that time frame is 50km/h. So a total average speed of 50km/h means that this train either accelerates to 100km/h and then immediately starts decelerating, or that it doesn't actually reach 100km/h consistently
@vkobevk
@vkobevk 11 месяцев назад
do you want do same judgement with car, because i doubt too than your car average speed is over 50 km/h on montreal street, except if you are lucky enough to only encounter green light, avoid stop sign and other cars ahead you that wait to turn 😊 or you only drive on montreal street at 3h am 😊

@@vkobevk The thing is that the REM is built on a track dedicated to REM trains. Which means REM trains basically have their own private highway, so it doesn't need compete stop at any lights or compete with traffic other than basic stops at REM stations. Looking at this video and seeing the train getting passed by average traffic on the highway is not going to convince people with cars to take the REM except in during rush hour traffic. Most people value time more than anything else. People with cars will chose the REM if it's faster than their car to execute their daily routine. But if it's not, or if they feel like it's not much of an improvement they'll chose their car. It's as simple as that.

With that type of stop spacing you should seriously invest into faster trains, being slower than the cars on the highway in moderate traffic is a really bad sign. Traveling by rail always has a longer distance to cover accessing the station, so to be competitive in travel times you need to be faster than the cars! This is why HSR needs to be that fast and why express metros run with over 100km/h all over the world, but not the REM apparently.
@jtsholtod.79
@jtsholtod.79 11 месяцев назад
I was going to say the same. I don’t want to be a nay-sayer because this is such a big step. BUT, if you’re going to invest this much in design and infrastructure, to not be able to exceed 100 km/h is underwhelming and disappointing. I’m sure it will still be far more time and cost efficient for lots of people, but imagine even how much better it could be?
@xureality
@xureality 11 месяцев назад
Could be worse. The Alstom Metropolis is also used on Singapore MRT and there they're limited at 90km/h. On the Paris metro, these same model of trains (called MF01) runs at 70km/h. Although, hopefully they'll be able to upgrade the system to be able to run at the 120km/h that the trains are designed for.

REM maximum speed is 100km/h which is very correct for an express metro. I don't know if it gets there during the video however. There is maybe a reason for it. Camera effect may also make the ride look slower than it is in real life.

My biggest reason why I don’t like automated transit. It’s always so slow. None of that is at 100kph... And all of that to keep the system running with the correct interval, like just make the trains stop a bit longer or shorter at the stations. You can shave off like 2 or 4 min just by speeding up, that matters to some people.
