I do agree that have an interesting way of using commas. You also do not seem to be adding any data or conjecture to the conversation. Moving on... And for people who are saying there was no plans to potentially convert the SRT to a streetcar here you go: The TTC was thinking that if they...

Reread what you quoted. They are saying there will be a cross-platform transfer only in one direction instead of both directions like the old plan. That is written in the article and then it continues: That suggests that for the OL, there will be an island platform connected in both...

New blog piece posted today. Has a lot of pretty pictures. https://rem.info/en/news/five-major-worksites-to-follow-2021

Some tidbits that stood out to me as well: REM1 The fund 'believes that they will provide a 3.7 ROI to the Quebec gov for the amount they pinched in for the project. REM East: They are reviewing REM East's projected ridership up by 'at least' 20 percent. So expected ridership is 159,600 per...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned much is that as the area's around the stations densify, public parking at new towers would provide an alternative. If a condo/hotel developer sees a market for people driving and parking at the station, they probably will provide it. No need for the TTC to...

On topic: The REM testing has reached 90km/h during testing

Nothing some good maintenance and gorilla glue cant fix.

This thread isnt active enough being only on Montreal. I like how it is a one-stop-shop for Quebec news.

Btw, Iqbal Halal Foods is renting the space and does not receive any money from land sales. They only found about the expropriation when the yark location was announced.

The REM is being built at Chinese-like speeds... Some projects in the EU as well. This argument is tired.

Are you referring to the concrete? 🤔 I think it is the same shade everywhere. They seem to be using blueish/greenish glass on the stations and the trains are mostly black and white with some green thrown in on each side.

A guy went close to some of the stations and viaducts. He shows: (among other things) Point Claire Station Du Quartier and some of the trains at Brossard

It happens at least once a month for the dedicated lane-d ION. Also, your argument about busses is weird. Buses do get in accidents too. But that doesn't shut down bus routes as it does for rail. Buses can swerve and stop quickly to avoid collisions. Trains can't. Do you know how absurd this...

While it's unfortunate that the cost of expropriation has risen, would sitting on 1.2 billion worth of land be an opportunity to build things (or sell to developers who would) and make money off the land Hong Kong style? I mean, if you buy land and build under it, you still have that land's air...

Artwork program will be a combination of permanent installations and annual temporary ones made by university students. https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/reseau-express-metropolitain-a-major-investment-in-quebec-public-art-815435913.html

Yet they handle more of the TTC's overall ridership than the subway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They are third class because of stigma, not facts. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-23/7-design-lessons-from-the-world-s-most-gorgeous-brt-stations
