The REM Project: Montreals Next Great Metro System

The REM — or Réseau express métropolitain — is Montreals next major leap public transport. This five-minute documentary takes a closer look at how the REM is transforming the region's transit network, connecting downtown Montreal to the South Shore, West Island, and Montreal-Trudeau Airport.

In this video, we’ll explore the history of the cities original metro system, the challenges that led to the REM's creation, and what it’s like to experience the new automated trains firsthand. With 26 stations and over 67 kilometers of track, the REM is set to redefine commuting across Québec.

From the underground tunnels of the 1960s Montréal Metro to the elevated tracks of today’s REM, this is the story of how innovation, design, and sustainability are reshaping a city built on movement.
