😍😍😍😅
19:46 why did they stole the jingle from McDonald's fries machine jk
8:21 love how the VMS sign says (in english) 'Welcome – to REM users on [the] Samuel de Champlain Bridge' and one time where English is used on road signs in Quebec. I assume the train travels at 80 km/h as thats the speed limit on the bridge for road traffic. For mainline rail however, mph is used.
Great ride even watching on YouTube. The RMT is the future now.
I find it can it be speed up more? Like 100km or 120 km especailly a lot of the lines two extremities are very far away and for now the downtown core stastion density can support that speed as well at least for the next 5 years even 10.
I had expected that the REM would go faster on the straightaways than the cars on the highway
13:07 The announcement is wrong
One of the best RMTransit videos!
How good is it to have a new Metro in Canada!?
Is it me or do I find it painfully slow compared to the track alignment possibility?
Interesting, Jean-Marc Arbaud and Jean-Vincent Lacroix were in your train
Outstanding video Reese!! I am so impressed with this new Montreal REM!! Cheers!! 🙂
nice
I should mention that it's not possible to transfer to the metro from central station when you are diable, because there are no elevators
At the beginning, between the density of the city and the French announcements, it genuinely looks like we are in Paris!
Great video. It looks like an awesome metro line. I assume all the stations are accessible. If that would be great as Montreal was lacking accessible metro stations at one time.
Some parts near Pointe-St-Charles are reminicant to taking the trains in Chicago to the White Sox Stadium.
The only thing I like about the REM are the door chimes
Why does NO ONE comment about that
I get out work early on Fridays. So I bought an AB ticket to take a spin on the REM. I was at the open house, but couldn't get the premium spot in front. I did yesterday! Saw exactly what Reece did here.
Thanks man. That's what I was going to do for real. Not any more. One thing that strike me is how ugly it is going to and in the south shore is. Highways, constructions sites, empty terrains, parking lots, train tracks, sparse vegetation, etc… I will pass on this leg of the network. Hopefully there is better views going to the west island part.
Can it go faster than that?
Who knows why is there a second rail in the center of line?
Day 2 of me asking RM Transit to make a video about San Diego’s Transit Network
Merci ! Nice ride !!!
Can you do MARC (Day IX)
Honestly, some of the best rail I've seen, and it's on a North American city, which aren't known for their good transit systems. Kudos!
There's really bad high pitched noise around 25:00 It's much worse in real life
