and Airport branch will offer swift and direct service to the airport, bypassing traffic, while the South Shore branch, which opened in July, now connects the South Shore to Montreal in just 18 minutes. The REM’s fully automated and driverless system positions it as a beacon for the future of transportation in Canadian cities. The advanced technology employed, known as the GoA4 system, boasts the highest reliability rates worldwide. This means that the REM’s passengers can enjoy a safe and efficient commuting experience, thanks to 24/7 monitoring and control from a central control center. The REM has a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. The project follows a “avoid, minimize, compensate” approach to environmental impacts. This includes adjustments to the route, efforts to minimize consequences, and concrete measures to compensate for environmental impacts. The REM aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging public transportation usage and aims to cut emissions by 2.5 million tons over its 25 years of operation. A partnership with Jour de la Terre will see 250,000 trees planted to offset emissions generated during construction. Montreal citizens are now offered an efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly mode of commuting that will positively impact the city and the entire province of Quebec. For those involved in the REM, being part of this legacy infrastructure project is a source of pride and accomplishment. The REM team is dedicated to transforming the way citizens move around Greater Montreal for decades to come, with a relentless focus on offering a fast and reliable transportation network that provides an exceptional user experience.
