REM has had 41 interruptions
The REM has had 41 service interruptions since it opened at the end of July.
When the REM is down, shuttle buses don’t appear by magic. Drivers are pulled off regular bus routes, leaving their passengers waiting in vain.

One of my colleagues who lives within walking distance of the REM has given up and will be travelling downtown via metro Longueuil. He doesn’t want to be late again and get his pay cheque docked for being late. Just like I had on REM opening day. Maybe a little extreme, but when you’re actually losing money you don’t want to take the risk.

If it’s not reliable, people won’t rely on it.
If it’s not the first and best choice, public transit isn’t serving its purpose. The REM has been a gigantic failure so far.
