Something very cool just happened to #Montreal.

Last week I got to ride on the REM line, now fully open from Brossard to Deux-Montagnes.

Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)

And really fun to ride...

This is the largest transit expansion in North America. And in this
Maclean's Magazine feature, I argue that other cities should be looking at the advantages of light metros like the REM:
