As others have pointed out, this test was done during the summer construction holiday when a lot of businesses give their staff vacation on top of the construction industry workers. Also, schools are on summer vacation. Try this again in mid-September. Even better -- wait for the first snowstorm and try then. More importantly, there are two factors that are not included in this test: Cost and Stress-level.
from my experience it took cote vertu to brossard 50 minutes in car it is possible, but it depend of time and if governement doesnt try to shut down highway
The rest of the country meaning english provinces are at least 10 years behind Quebec for green energy , transportation, , sustainability, Montreal ranked # 1 in the world . Montreal is unique and cannot be compared to any other city in North america . Toronto has a USA car culture and people are living around concrete buildings and in ghettos ... Montreal is like New York and europe for culture , arts , architecture and a city alive
@@jeanbolduc5818 Meh, visiting from Vancouver I wasn't so impressed. It is pretty great; the subway, the mid-rise apartments everywhere, smaller streets etc.. and in that sense it's unique and appealing, but I wouldn't say that it's necessarily more compelling. It's a neat city that I'd like to visit again, but despite Vancouver's somewhat homogeneous aesthetic, extreme cost, generally larger roads, and bimodal housing distribution, the transit system as a whole is more usable and imo has less of a car culture than Montreal, but that's just a brief impression. The food is hyped pretty hard in Montreal, and the place is kind of assumed to have more "culture" whatever that means, but it took a surprisingly long amount of time to find anything that wasn't likely to just be average while walking around. Many of the same chains as any other city, and fairly predictable touristy areas. It was quite pretty in late Dec though and I'd be happy to return to explore what I'm sure is a hell of a lot that I wasn't able to see. If I knew French, I'd probably pick it over Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary. Vancouver could really take a few pages out of Montreal's book in terms of embracing public art, but Montreal could take a lesson from SkyTrain and figure out a better payment system
So excited for the way our slow abandonment of cars is making a better future! Even with the few issues we've seen the rem is faster, safer, and more comfortable than driving! big slay!!!
Not only is it faster, you get to do something with the time - you can read, text, have a snack, and do literally anything else other than stare over a steering wheel.
@@shauncameron8390 It is wild we just accept the idea that we need to personally do all the work to get us from A to B. The amount of time and energy we spend focusing on steering and accelerating a car is incredible ... when actually, we can just have a bus driver, train driver, or autonomous train to it for us. We don't need to accept that
yall should have tested my bestie, the bus 90, to compare when yall had the chance. it used to take me 35mins max during rush hour on school days and legit 15mins during non-peak hours. it never let me down 😢 i miss the fast commute so much
Another thing to consider, when i was commuting by train (in Dublin, Ireland 30 years ago). A collegue and I set out at about the same time to work, we lived near each other. He maintained that his (slightly longer) journey was a few minutes faster than my train ride. And when we go to the office he would read his morning news paper. But i had read the paper on the train, so my journey (though longer) was mor eefficient...
Taking the REM doesn’t make you pay 30000 every 5 years. REM doesn’t make you find parking. REM doesn’t make you pay for parking. REM doesn’t make you get car insurance.
Don't forget getting somewhere that isn't the REM station. Try going west-east or east-west. You'll almost definitely need a connection bus, you're waiting outside and depending on which station the wait can be long and outside. Don't forget the walking in between. If you are 2 minutes late in the morning you miss your bus and might take 10-20 minutes more. Or if it comes 20 seconds earlier than scheduled you might be late and it's not your fault. Ive been 50 minutes late to work because my first bus was 5 minutes late because of traffic causing me to miss my connection 2nd bus. This doesn't happen with the REM but you're stuck taking the bus to and from it
Station to station, it will be faster. Home to exact work location, not so sure as you'll probably end up using 2 or 3 different method of transport. This said, I'd still take the REM over any transport mode.
agreed. plus think about how much time you would loose if you got in a car crash, and how much time you gain by being able to do work on the bus or train
You should also compare it to somebody going in other parts of Montreal and having to transfer to other metro / bus lines and the walks between them. And also, it's not everybody who lives near to the REM station. That's what happens often: the metro or bus can be fast during rush hours, but if you have 2 transfers in your route, that's gonna be a very long trip. And because the REM can't be directly connected to the metro, it adds even more transfer problems. Another huge problem is the fact there are no really good prices of tickets for people owing cars. I remember having a job where I could use the metro to get, but because I had a car, it made no sense to pay for both car fuel and a metro pass. But if I could buy a bunch of tickets for a decent price, it would make me take the metro more often.

So many things can differ, how long you wait for the bus, mal functions on the train, works on the streets, where in Montreal you want to end, from where in Brossard you want to start… etc
Another question that could be asked: How much faster and more comfortable is the transit with the REM compared to the express busses (South Shore) and the electric train (Deux-Montagnes) it replaces. - Maybe a video idea for when the next branch goes into service?
Going station to station is not a fair comparison. I don't think Gare Centrale is most people's final destination. For me, my work is 30 minutes from Gare Centrale by public transit, whereas the same distance gets done in 10 minutes by car.
If I could contribute in the comments, it's this: Years before the construction of the REM, the only public transportation travel routes between the city/island of Montreal and the South Shore were some of the RTL buses, the STM's Yellow Line and The AMT (currently called EXO) commuter train lines: Mont Sainte-Hilaire and Candiac, except that both the Candiac and the Mont Sainte-Hilaire Train Lines operate on the weekdays only.
Of course the REM is faster and better for the planet .. cbc should spend money on real cultural news Since a lot of Canadians do not know anything about Canada
While I get that this video is not directed to me as someone who lives on the island, I feel like this is just a very narrow question. What about cost, stress level, convenience once in the city.
the biggest problem of your demonstration: nobody is going to the gare central by car. next time try to go somewhere else in the city, like going to the mc gill university, or Olympic stade or the different hospitals. or more to the east or west. anywhere which is away from a 10 minutes walk from the gare centrale. in this case, the car wins, because the public transport in montreal is not designed to support the city but only the buildings around the gare centrale.
I don't understand people judging new public transports only on whether they are fast or not. First because the most important factor is the level of CO2 emission: if we do not cut down on emissions quickly, Humans will go extinct. Second, we spend more time in recreational screen watching each day than commuting. So how about cutting down a few minutes on that pleasure time to help the next generation having a future worth living.... Let's stop being so spoiled and selfish.
But the best way to ensure that people actually use it is to make it competitive with driving. Most people care about their own time more than the environment.
@@thatoneguy611 I agree that it is how some people think, and it is unfortunate. But it is a tall order to ask of new technology to do better right off the bat than stuff that has been around for 100 years. Can you imagine the REM competing with the old Ford T? It would win hands down. It will all come down to whether we will take seriously the responsibilities that come with technology, and love our kids enough. If we do not, then we might follow the way of the dinosaures. :)
Not an accurate reflection of how people travel. A commuter will drive from their house, not from Brossard Station. From door to door, the car will always be faster to downtown, but that isnt what attracts riders to transit. What the South shore needs is a efficient and predictable bus network serving the REM, so people will have an option other than the car from their front door that is reliable and predictable. That is what people want.
sorry dude, but the true game over is metro+rem from cote vertu to brossard it took me less of one hour and i am confident it is same time or shorter from any metro station to brossard in car it is only possible without traffic jam and if they dont try to block higway with their damed construction
@@SonsOfSevenless In terms of capacity/hour, the REM beats any "light rail" system by a solid margin. It also shares more common caracteristics with metro systems than "light rail" ones. The system runs Alstom Metropolis trains which are from the same family as the MPM-10 from the Orange and Green lines. Light rails systems tend to use "lighter" vehicles such as Siemens LRV or Alstom Citadis or Flexity which look more like trams. Light rail systems also don't feature GO4 automation. The capacity of each vehicle doesn't really say much about what type of system it is. The Paris metro runs 3, 4 and 5 cars trains and the Montréal metro used to run 3 cars trains on the blue line. So if the deciding factor is vehicle capacity, the REM is still a metro.
@@binoutech in public transportation terms it's a "pre metro" which is a light rail train with metro characteristics. In modern north American terminology this would be called an LRT. Calling it a metro is a misnomer, Montreal has a metro, and it's not the REM. the maximum theoretical capacity/hour is actually lower on the REM than the Deux Montagnes commuter rail line it replaced, because the trains carry 600 passengers instead of 2000. The REM train has nothing to do with the MPM-10 Azur also, what "family"?
Nice video, but the REM to West-Island has been delayed from early 2023 to mid-2024 to late 2024 and now 2025! Really? Instead of making false promises why were we just not told it was 2025? The budget has mushroomed from 6.4 Billion to 8.0 B which means at least 10+ B. Of course in Quebec, nothing is ever on time or on budget. One more disaster before it even runs one kilometer, if it ever runs at all...
Happy 🌎 Day! REM!! Public transport beats personal autos any day in an urban environment. This news piece never ventures into the cost of “owning” a car. 1. cost of vehicle (almost always borrowed = debt = interest paid on debt) 2. Insurance payments, yearly 3.

REM is running at slower speed and frequency. Despite that it was still faster.
And it will probably get faster with time as they fine tune the system.
