Has there been any talk of extending the REM one station west towards the village of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue?

Besides extensions to Jardins Dorval, Autoroute 40/13 and Pointe St-Charles, going one stop further to Sainte-Anne seems like a very sensical expansion.

Sainte-Anne is home to John Abbott and Macdonald campus, not to mention is a really nice village where it can be difficult to find parking in the summer months. McGill currently operates a bus shuttle between their downtown campus and macdonald, which could be easily eliminated with a REM connection directly to campus. Moreover, many John Abbott & Macdonald students drive to school every day. Having the REM would allow those students to take the train directly from fairview or other west island stations. Sainte-Anne could heavily benefit from the extra tourism coming from people taking a day trip to the village from other areas in Montreal.

I'm very surprised that the town of Sainte-Anne, McGill and John Abbott are not actively lobbying for such an extension. Truly hope it happens one day!

That should have been the terminus from the beginning. Putting it in nowhere land between Ste-Anne de Belleview and Baie d’Urfe seems on the surface senseless but I guess they had their reasons for it.

Faut croire que le Libéral Party of Québec n’avait plus rien à gagner par là-bas!😂

Si on peut faire 4 élections avec les mêmes promesses de prolongements de métro, on peut faire pareil avec le REM.

Ce sont des petites polices cute pour le REM et la vraie de la SPVM donne des contraventions aux méchants automobilistes tout en faisant de l'assistance sociale à Émilie-Gamelin, au Palais et Congrès et au Square Cabot. Ce qui est bien plus important aux yeux de l'actuelle administration que d'aller mettre de l'ordre dans le « Far-West East ».
