So hopefully July opening? Also based on their earlier plans, the All Modes AB Monthly Unlimited should cost around $144, which isn't too bad when compared to the current cost of Unlimited that's only for zones AB and C, $180. I'm curious on if REM will support cards with tap like Apple Pay or Google Pay though because they're installing new machines so no excuse...

L'ouverture du REM reportée à l'automne selon Radio-Canada. La date précise de mise en service ne serait pas encore déterminée.

I honestly think it’s a copout to blame it on the pandemic. The work sites in the West Island are rolling along full steam ahead, and if it weren’t for the challenges involved in redeveloping the Mount Royal tunnel, it’s very likely that much of the West Island could have been operational within the next year. They should be more forthcoming, and say that they are having technical difficulties, such as spending months installing the last two spans behind Costco, for example.

I believe they needed about one third of the total fleet in order to start service on that segment, or about 35 sets.

Bref, ils vont ouvrir le REM l'automne prochain sans avoir testé les voitures circulant sur le pont en hiver. Hallucinant.
