You could take the new REM for free July 29 and 30 [at the Open House] – during the light rail network's inaugural weekend. Trips between central station in downtown Montreal and Brossard will be free 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., tweeted the Quebec government. The REM is set to be inaugurated on July 28, before officially opening for its regular runs July 31.
Construction on the Mount Royal tunnel set to begin on Monday following delays will be ongoing until 2022, causing detours for off-island commuters who rely on it daily. ... Transit users who relied on the tunnel to enter the city from Mascouche can take note that three trains departing in the morning and afternoon will take a different route to reach the central station downtown. Other trains will stop at the Ahuntsic station – from there, users can take a number of express buses to the metro network. They can also transfer at the Sauvé train station to get to the metro, but it may be busy, according to the Societe de transport de Montreal (STM).
"We're very confident that the trains we ordered will be able to withstand our winter conditions," said Mack Tall, the president and chief executive officer for CDPQ Infra, which is managing the project.

In the end, line 3 would be eliminated in favour of an entirely new line (4 - yellow) running under the St. Lawrence River to service the site of the 1967 World Fair.
