REM extension delayed till fall 2025
Opening of the REM to Deux-Montagnes and Anse-à-l’Orme has been delayed to fall 2025 after first being promised for last year. Testing of these branches also means planned shutdowns of the existing line to Brossard, with bus replacements in place.

The delay is par for the course, and no one should believe their confidence in their opening date when they had confidence before, but no weekend service for two to three months, and no service at all for four to six weeks? This honestly might be worse than the Ottawa LRT!

I think the plan is to make sure everything is done right so it doesn’t end up like the O-Train .

Well with this announcement, arguably it has. (Deux-Montagnes closed longer than Trillium Line, more planned closures for Brossard than Confederation, unable to handle wind vs ice, random regular closures/failures, longer time to open the airport branch, etc.)
