We can’t we Integrate our planning. Also why do the REM money makers build random unstudied stuff, and the actual transit authorities don’t get to build anything but just study stuff. Also, isn’t Plante selling the REM2 micro metro at the pink line?

I’m going to try to add up how much money has been spent on studying transit projects over the last 30 years.

Be my guest. 90% of the work has been done here, if you start with this compilation of all the AMT capital projects until 2019 that I have assembled out of 25 years of AMT Capital spending plans. (I used it to figure out the total spending on the Deux-Montagnes line, to show that the REM people only paid a fraction of what the AMT had invested int he line): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UISQmyamKgSW0mEgO6NYGxA15DuJ9u0Dp9aiKryOCs0/edit?usp=sharing
(BTW, back between 2000-2004 or so, the AMT spent like 10-13Mio on a project called Viabus, line 572 in the spreadsheet. The idea was to build an SRB along the former CN-right-of-way in the East. I think the AMT or the province had actually purchased the right of way. It would likely be used by the REM elevated rail line, and I bet CDPQInfra will get that land basically for free)
