They're still operating in manual mode and still doing some work. I took this pic Tuesday. They said that we'll know 30 days in advance before the start of service. So in 10 days we don't get a confirmation, ain't gonna happen.
Finally ARTM will start working on Open Payment and mobile charging. Also a STM engineer told me that a small green line extension is planned and dedicated bus lanes are what could replace the REM de l'Est. Would not be surprised but it's one of the scenario studied. Plante killing the projet...

Pre-pandemic, it was exceeding capacity between McGill and Berri-UQÀM. The STM didn't want any further extensions without adding a relief line downtown. Add the underconstruction REM and blue line extension, you were already looking at a disaster. Add this truncated project and you'll have a...
Instead of improving the project, they are planning to remove the downtown section entirely. STM and ARTM will manage the project. The STM already has the most stuffed vehicles in North America, this will make it worse...
