REM ridership will be cut by telework
The trend toward working from home is going to reduce the expected ridership of the REM by 10%, according to this item, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the dip was deeper than that.

Here’s a worthwhile account out of America, though I’ll note that pretty much all media reports contain the inherent bias of reporters who want – and in many cases already have – the sort of flexibility they claim the public is clamoring for. https://slate.com/business/2021/04/remote-work-future-office-downtowns.html
Two more points: Canadian bosses and workplaces generally are quite different that those in the US, bother culturally, and by dint of the US’ much larger proportion of workers who can work remotely without productivity or organizational effectiveness loss. Also, even in relatively higher wage professions, they want us back in the office asap, because the office itself is a selling point for clients. You’ll see this for everything from engineering, legal, and financial services to any smaller shop hosting clients.
