So, as I’m travelling up from McGill to Des Sources (with a change at Bois-Franc) a little history for those not in the loop.
The REM is Greater Montreal’s new all-singing all-dancing automated light-rail¹ network.
It will eventually go to the airport directly in 2027, but until then a new bus service has been introduced between the airport and the nearest currently open REM station at Des Sources.

The new bus route is provided by the STM (the city of Montreal’s transit authority) and complements the long-running 747 bus which connects the airport with Lionel-Groulx and Berri-UQAM on the Metro. I believe both bus routes will go when the REM opens its station at the airport, due to the moronic non-competition clause the REM’s makers managed to negotiate with the government. #Montreal #transit
