🚍 REM shuttle bus ride: route 721 between Central Station in Montreal and Brossard Station

Here's a ride aboard a REM shuttle bus between Central Station in Montreal and Brossard Station in Brossard in the South Shore of Montreal, Canada. This is the 721 route.

This ride is aboard a 2021 RTL Nova Bus LFS Hybrid bus with fleet number 22106. The RTL is the transit agency of the South Shore of Montreal and are in charge of running this bus route.

The REM shuttle buses are used to transport commuters between stations when the REM light rail system has a service outage. However, it was announced recently that the shuttle buses will also be used alongside the REM even when the REM is in service. This is called supplementary service.

As mentioned in the article I linked below, it's meant to operate alongside the REM when it's working and catch the fallout when it fails.

In this cases I'm on the 721 route which goes back and forth between Central Station to Brossard Station.

This video was filmed on Monday, March 27, 2025 starting at 11:20 pm Eastern Canadian Time.

Here is a video of the 722 route that goes between Central Station in Montreal and Panama Station in the South Shore that I also filmed recently.
