#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (Capable of 110 km/h). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

This is the largest transit expansion in North America. And in this @macleans.bsky.social Magazine feature, I argue that other cities should be looking at the advantages of light metros like the REM:

In Fort Lauderdale, the #CanMNT defeated Venezuela thanks to goals from Ismaël Kone and Promise David. The former was sent off in the second half just minutes after the South American outfit lost David Martínez to a red card.

Today Mount Dennis GO Station opened, with trains between Downtown Toronto, Brampton-Kitchener and Pearson Airport on average every 10 minutes.
This is one of many regional rail stations coming to the City of Toronto over the next decade, as GO Transit continues to expand.

The REM is essential infrastructure — an automated light metro system across Greater Montréal that will connect more and more of the city as it grows.
Great cities have great public transit, and that’s what we’re investing to build more of across Canada in Budget 2025.
