The REM vs the Pink Line
Some prominent folks are pleading for an east‑end REM, while the mayor asks for a clear explanation of the delays and cost overruns on the section of the REM that’s almost complete.
A regular reader drew my attention to this item in Policy Options saying that the proposed Pink Line would be fairer for more low‑income users than a REM de l’est, giving more people the physical mobility to get better kinds of jobs.

The Globe’s Konrad Yakabuski has a paywalled piece on the REM. Nothing that original for Montrealers, I think. Here’s a “gifted” link: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/1dda01131f4a49b8b69490d42f979fedcc57bcbd0a1e3f8f16462de69a0c1127/PHAXA7O46FBL5PM3ASXC7S2JRQ/
