Considering the buses were always fucking getting stuck in traffic even on the bridge, yeah, the REM will be a life saver to get to downtown (and later further). When the airport station is up and running, it will be amazing to get to it without a friggin' car from the south shore. I also hope they now get rid of the bus lanes toward Robert-Bourassa that all the jerks were using to get around traffic unpunished.

THIS is what mass transit should be. Rapid and frequent - unlike the bus-on-rails tram system Edmonton is building with its slow speed, limited capacity and max 5min peak frequency. (Every 5min vs every 90 sec is a world a difference). Good job, Montreal!!
@jan-lukas
@jan-lukas 11 месяцев назад

In fairness to Edmonton though. They already have their own rapid transit in the form of the Metro and Capital Lines. If they wanted the valley line to be that, they would have built the Valley line to those same standards. The valley isn’t meant to be like REM or the ETS Legacy Light rail, it was meant to provide a much stronger local connection, especially through downtown Edmonton

@justaguy6862 11 месяцев назад
@@metrofilmer8894 The Metro line is not rapid at all. Both it and the capital line are limited in frequencies. For a city that wants people to take transit why limit capacity. For the valley line for example, of every TOD is built out, there will be no room on the train by the time it gets to Bonnie Doon. Tram lines should connect to rapid services. Not try and be the rapid service.

@ronnyrueda5926 11 месяцев назад
I'm not sure about other highway rail projects in Canada but the ones shown here are fully enclosed which probably makes waiting for the train less noisy. The ones in LA are fully exposed to the noise coming from the highway. Plus the stations are placed right next to highway off ramps which can make the pedestrian experience uncomfortable.

Canada still has major issues. REM East was completely cancelled cause a small group of NIMBYs didn't want elevated metro "destroying" their boring low density suburbs. Toronto also cannot build elevated rail due to the same nimbys.

Compared to the usa, canadian transit is far better. But compared to our asian counterparts, canada remains far behind. Automated metro lines were introduced in singapore 16 years ago during 07. Copenhagen opened their driverless metro in 2002. The montreal rem is a great start but doesnt change the fact that the o train in ottawa and the ttc are currently canadas major transit failures in 2023. They r both failures whereas the rem is a success. Hopefully things can turn around but it wont be so soon. RU-vid search shenzhen mtr. They managed to build 20 lines of metro in just under 20 years. The problem with canada (and the us) is politics n canadian content policies. If they were less focused on ensuring cdn content in projects, ottawa n ttc could be partnering with say amsterdams gvb to fix its trams. The ttc could partner with chinas construction/engineering firms to lay out a 20 yr ttc expansion plan. But too easily we let politics get in the way of our transit ambitions.

This project appears to use the center of a highway median for most of it's right of way. That definitely helped keep construction cost and issues low. Not sure how accessible the stations will be in the long term though as highway stations don't encourage TOD growth.

You’re comparing apples and oranges. Montreal has a metro system that isn’t automated just like Boston’s, this is just a new service layered on top of the metro.

But I can see how people might think they’re boring since they don’t have the “different artists designed every metro station” thing that the metro did. However, the REM stations have the major advantage of platform screen doors, and it’s shocking how much of an improvement that makes to the stations.

When I see that REM running right in the middle of the Champlain Bridge, it disappoints me how NY’s idiotic governor at the time dismissed the possibility of building a branch of the heavy rail Metro North Railroad over the new Tappan Zee Bridge that was being built between Westchester and Rockland Counties, citing that it was not feasible. It would’ve provided a one-seat train ride from Rockland (and possibly further northern counties west of the Hudson River) to Manhattan’s Grand Central Station.

Montreal has a history of building great rapid transit train systems. Ottawa's O (occasional) Train on the other hand, is in the middle of another 3 week shut down because of mechanical issues, it's prone to derailments, it breaks down when there's freezing rain (yea, who knew we'd get freezing rain in Ottawa, right? 🙄), and, AND the planned service from the international airport doesn't even go directly downtown. That's right, you'll have to transfer to another train to get to downtown Ottawa. What a joke. What an embarrassment. But congratulations to Montreal on the REM, well done!

I visited all stations over the weekend. They are generally quite good. Not fancy, but gets the job done. Fluid and bright. My two favourites are Panama and Du Quartier. At Panama, the station is between the lanes of highway 10. So they build a large underpass under the highway and on the North side it’s a short distance to a brand new bus terminal for local transit. On the south side, a pedestrian/bike lanes that lead in minutes to a popular mall here. At Du Quartier (station nearest to my house), it’s connected on the North side to a TOD district named Solar and on the south side it goes to the (in)famous Quartier Dix-30, a large commercial “car-oriented” district. But which I use often anyways.

I have to admit, "Du Quartier" is a weird name for French speakers. It literally translates to "of/from the neighbourhood", and even if it's probably not intended for that, in French it becomes "la station du quartier", so "the neighbourhood's station" which could be potentially confusing in French, depending on the context. Aside from that, I'm so glad to see new projects coming to life and how it will change the city !

The area around it is being carefully planned into a TOD by the City of Montreal, as well as the boroughs of Ahuntsic-Cartierville and Saint-Laurent. Some stations were chosen in order to desserve popular destinations, such as shopping centers like the Dix-30 or Fairview. Others (the ones on the ex. Deux-Montagnes line), simply replace the old stations. There can be as much as 5 kilometers between them and as little as 900 meters. Hope that helps!

Very excited to use this system. However, as always in this province, they make it inaccessible. It’s 8$ back/forth if you wanna go to Dix30 (and you don’t have OPUS for those two zones), they removed the buses that goes through Champlain bridge so that those buses, that were « direct » to Montreal center and Old Montreal, now goes to the REM. Meaning people that lives in Brossard will have to change 3 times to go to offices in OACI. (And I think pay more?) It’s a good addition to a car centric world, but boy is it really badly executed.

Good bridge! The curvy section when approaching downtown looks anxiety-inducing on the map. Could've gained some speed if the viaduct was built straight across the industrial grounds, couldn't they? I guess Canadian right-of-ways are also set in stone and impossible to compromise for the greater good? Well if they are going to build up the area near waterfront and construct infill stations to serve it, then maybe the curves can help coverage, but that's dubious... Curious also what the inclination is on the steepest ramps on this route! Looks somewhat steep.

The first 2 curves follow along the railway right of way while the third curve cuts across the tracks going on the Victoria bridge. The REM goes around the CN and EXO yards in Pointe-St-Charles. Since those are active yards building across would have been very difficult and time consuming. The sections that cross the rail lines were the last to be finished on this segment given the constraints of short overnight work blocks required to build the structures.

It's just odd to not have announcements in English. It's like they're burying their head in the sand and pretending that it doesn't exist as a major language in the country and lingua franca. Metro announcements getting repeated isn't going to destroy French as a language in Quebec, especially Montreal where most natives are bilingual to a degree anyways. Struck me as odd when visiting that the metro didn't announce in both languages. Hell, in Austin TX here Spanish isn't even an official language or even the primary language for 90% of the population and the busses still announce in both. In Italy the trains announce in Italian and English. Montreal (and the rest of Quebec, I assume) is alone in it's weirdness of language protection amongst multilingual cities (or even partially multilingual cities). From an outside prospective, it's a very weird sort of xenophobia that I haven't seen anywhere else. The worst (best) part is, the people are all nice and accommodating when you don't speak French, so why isn't the metro? @@Potato-dx5mc

Sherbrooke east of Pie IX is one of the worst thoroughfares on the island, for noise, traffic, walkability, bikeability, sense of place, everything.

If a brand new transit system fails on its first day of real revenue service, then there is likely something fundamentally wrong with the system or trains. This should never have happened in the first place. Even Ottawa's light rail didn't break down on the first day of revenue service.
