REM is introducing two new train routes as part of an extensive testing phase. This initiative is aimed at enhancing service prior to the opening of the Anse-à-l’Orme branch set for this spring. Starting Friday, transit users must pay closer attention to station displays for accurate departure information.
New Train Routes Introduced
The changes at the Brossard station will see screens indicating two potential train routes: Bois-Franc and A4 – Deux-Montagnes. It is crucial for riders to verify their train’s direction before boarding.
Important Details on Train Directions
- Trains to Bois-Franc will end at that station.
- Passengers traveling to stations between Bois-Franc and Deux-Montagnes must board the A4 – Deux-Montagnes trains.
Dynamic Testing for Improved Service
This change reflects ongoing dynamic testing intended to optimize the network’s timetable. The focus includes adjusting train arrival and departure timings, along with service intervals. In the upcoming weeks, testing will extend to the Anse-à-l’Orme branch, allowing for further evaluation.
Rider Recommendations
Transit officials advise all riders to:
- Check station screens for updates.
- Listen to onboard announcements.
- Consult real-time trip planners before departure.
These measures aim to enhance the travel experience for all REM users as the transit system evolves.
