A new bus route has been introduced to connect the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) Des Sources station to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, providing a seamless transit option for travelers. The service aims to reduce car traffic and improve accessibility to the airport.
Details of the New Route
The bus route will operate frequently, linking the REM station directly to the airport terminals. This integration is part of broader efforts to enhance public transit connectivity in the Montreal region.
Benefits for Travelers
- Reduced travel time for airport access via public transit.
- Lower carbon emissions by encouraging use of sustainable transport.
- Convenient connection for REM users from downtown and other areas.
Officials expect the route to serve thousands of passengers daily, easing congestion on roads leading to the airport.
Background on REM Expansion
The REM network has been expanding across Montreal, with new stations and connections improving regional mobility. The Des Sources station, located in the West Island, serves as a key hub for commuters.
This bus route is a temporary solution until a planned REM branch directly serving the airport is completed in the coming years.
