REM to run short trains on weekends
The REM will be running short trains on weekends and statutory holidays.
Transit generally is sinking into debt.

REM was designed and planned to run two-car trains during off-peak hours, they have not yet done so while still breaking in the system; uncrewed switching from four- to two-car trains and back again would add an unnecessary layer of complexity during these live tests. Nothing to see here.

La Presse thought it was a story.

True. Like the Devoir thinks modern (nearly silent, compared to just 30 years ago) planes at 5000 feet over Montréal-Est approaching YUL are making life Hell for some dude in RPP.

Planes are pretty loud overhead here in Villeray. So much so that if i’m having a videocall in my backyard I have to pause my speaking in order to let it pass.

Ian, I kyped this map of the city from CTV (copied it because I was afraid they’d eventually delete it) and it should show you the borough. Please come back and report!

Jonathan: yes, the planes are loud here in Villeray, but the weird thing is, I kind of like it, because it means it’s summer and I have the windows open.

In my last apartment, in the heart of Mile End, I was directly under the flight path for helicopter school. Didn’t notice they came every 40 minutes … until covid 😀
To be fair, that wasn’t why I moved, but it’s one of those things that once you notice is hard to ignore.

I’m in VSL directly under the landing path. Plane noise is a thing, sure, but I guess I would much more bothered if I didn’t have to keep my windows closed 24/7 because motorized idiots think Marcel-Laurin is a racing track….
