Réseau express métropolitain
Propelling the REM, shaping the future.
A structuring transportation network
The Réseau express métropolitain (REM) will be the longest automated metro line in the world.
With its 67-km route and 26 stations, the light rail network will serve Greater Montréal. It will contribute to the region’s development and generate long-term returns for Quebecers.
First branch commissioned on July 31, 2023
The South Shore branch, which now connects the Brossard station to Central Station in downtown Montréal, was the first to be commissioned.
The REM will ultimately connect downtown, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport.
