      So what about the tourists who visit this province? They more than likely can't speak french or read french. So it would be helpful to them not only common courtesy to have the signs and announcements in both languages and it isn't going to endanger the french language one bit to do so. The language laws are doing more harm to the people of quebec by fear mongering in oder to protect the french language. You want to preserve the french language?

    I can't stand how the media is covering the few minor glitches that have occurred - they run with the worse quotes from people like "It's a disgrace!" or "I'll stick with my car!". They never quote anyone who has an optimistic opinion on the issues nor do they explain that these are minor glitches that will be caught and worked out in the coming weeks. It's infuriating because this bad messaging only discourages people to use the service.

      A radio station did a 30 minutes segment on the Ottawa train and were making (up) parallel with the REM at every occasion. They then interviewed someone who kept saying that despite the delay they had a great time and the interviewer was trying to make them say "how bad was it"? Very frustrating I agree!

    I'm not sure but this seems pretty slow. For example from 9:30 to 11:00 the train has a long stretch of straight track ahead of it and still the cars are faster. You already lose time going to and from transit stops, so the ride itself should at least be faster than in a car.

      and train and metro dont need to stop at stop sign or red light or because the driver ahead you want to turn, but cant because car or people, driving in montreal can be sometime or too much messy because that
      so with train it is just you avoid red light, stop sign, other drivers, valerie plante going into derp mode

    I'm a full time student at McGill from the Brossard who used to take rush hour busses that go downtown to get to class. I tested commute times and found out that I'd have to leave home 10 minutes earlier than I usually do to get to class on time due to the removal of busses that go to Montreal, since they got replaced by the REM. The REM has no competition, therefore no incentive to improve or maintain its services other than public backlash. We need to hold them accountable for their mistakes, unlike most of the people who I see in the comments who aren't locals and won't be punished by the consequences of a REM failure.

    @RMTransit: I must say that, for a brand-new transit system, REM's automated trains are traveling at a rather LEISURELY pace. Perhaps it's because the system is SO new that it must first be completely "broken in" before the trains can be allowed to run at higher speeds. Better to be safe than sorry. Clearly they need to fine-tune their station-announcement system - "Panama" mentioned twice when the station after it should have been announced as, "Du Quartier."
    As it stands, the REM is barely competitive with automobile travel, as can plainly be seen from its trains as they cross the St. Lawrence River alongside the highway bridge, where cars are regularly outpacing the train.
    Thank you for sharing with us viewers your front-window-view ride along this first-to-be-opened section of REM's new network. Very nicely done. I am curious - were there any on-board train staff?

    With that type of stop spacing you should seriously invest into faster trains, being slower than the cars on the highway in moderate traffic is a really bad sign. Traveling by rail always has a longer distance to cover accessing the station, so to be competitive in travel times you need to be faster than the cars! This is why HSR needs to be that fast and why express metros run with over 100km/h all over the world, but not the REM apparently.

      I was going to say the same. I don’t want to be a nay-sayer because this is such a big step. BUT, if you’re going to invest this much in design and infrastructure, to not be able to exceed 100 km/h is underwhelming and disappointing. I’m sure it will still be far more time and cost efficient for lots of people, but imagine even how much better it could be?

      Could be worse. The Alstom Metropolis is also used on Singapore MRT and there they're limited at 90km/h. On the Paris metro, these same model of trains (called MF01) runs at 70km/h.

      REM maximum speed is 100km/h which is very correct for an express metro. I don't know if it gets there during the video however. There is maybe a reason for it.

      @@vkobevk The thing is that the REM is built on a track dedicated to REM trains. Which means REM trains basically have their own private highway, so it doesn't need compete stop at any lights or compete with traffic other than basic stops at REM stations. Looking at this video and seeing the train getting passed by average traffic on the highway is not going to convince people with cars to take the REM except in during rush hour traffic. Most people value time more than anything else. People with cars will chose the REM if it's faster than their car to execute their daily routine. But if it's not, or if they feel like it's not much of an improvement they'll chose their car. It's as simple as that.
