Such cheapskates, couldn’t do free the whole system, and couldn’t do it in the evening.

It would’ve been better. Like people will buy a ticket to the West Island so they can get a free ride back.

It’s OK, there’s nothing to do at the last station on the line in the evening except get menaced by wild turkeys. It’s across the street from the abandoned farm next to the light industrial park. I guess you could take the 20 minute bus into town but I don’t know f they are free too, and I don’t think they start up until the 18th anyhow.

Ooh, Anse-a-l’orme will have a lemonade stand for the occasion. That sounds nice.
Perhaps worth noting that you can use your OPUS card, if it has fares on it, to ride the REM as well as STM buses and metros (as long as you stay on the island.)
