Thanks to the REM, this view, southbound over the Rivière-des-Prairies, is now only 20 minutes from downtown #Montréal. As of this weekend, 14 new stations open, served by driverless electric trains with frequencies of as little as 3 minutes. It’s free to ride today!

No problem connecting from métro at McGill and Edouard-Montpetit. (Unlike at Bonaventure/Central Station). Métro and REM entrances side-by-side.
