The Sapporo method would be an elevated metro extension with fully enclosed guideway.
yes but that would not be a new mode, it would still be the Metro.

"End of 2024" is the best we have for the West Island and Deux Montagnes branches. The airport branch (tunnelled) is scheduled for 2027.Is there a public date as yet?
The government is now talking about heavy transport for Quebec City. According to Minister Julien, there are several models: a fast bus service (SRB), a Metropolitan Express Network (REM) or a metro.
It still happens all the time for the metro but the media loves to blame CDPQ for the REM issues.
There isn't EXO dedicated track, the way Metrolinx owns the territory on LSE/LSW/(most of) Kitchener/Stouffville/Barrie. EXO owns the former Deux Montagnes line and short sections of Mascouche, Vaudreil, and St. Jerome, but it's not something you can RER-ify. Can't upgrade anything without track ownership.Are there any plans to fund some kind of EXO improvement/ expansion project much like what Metrolinx is doing with GO Expansion? Feels like EXO has taken a backseat to REM. I've even heard some claim that REM is actually going to destroy EXO. Apparently REM got rid of EXO's most profitable line and also made it impossible for EXO to have a centrally, located station for all EXO lines to converge onto.

Metrolinx (or TTR through Union) owned a lot more track 15 years ago than Exo owns today.That certainly makes it a longer-term project. However, 15 years ago when The Big Move was proposed Metrolinx didn't own much track either.
How does EXO own fewer track today?Metrolinx (or TTR through Union) owned a lot more track 15 years ago than Exo owns today.
Mind you, 15 years ago, Exo owned more track than it does today!
