* To get to the airport from this station, you have to make a transfer at Bois-Franc. We added a conservative 10-minute connection time in our calculations.
If you are taking the REM from the South Shore, you just choose, after arriving at the station, the REM train that will go all the way to the Airport terminus. Roughly one in every three REM trains will travel to the airport (outside of peak hours in morning and evening), which means one departure every 10 to 15 minutes.
If you are taking the REM from the West Island or the North Shore, you will have to switch platforms at Bois-Franc station so you can catch a train going to the Montréal-Trudeau airport.
For example, here is how you can reach the airport from Kirkland station:
- Take the REM from Kirkland to Bois-Franc (14 minutes)
- Switch platforms and wait several minutes at Bois-Franc
- Take the REM from Bois-Franc to the airport (9 minutes)
In total, getting to the airport will involve 23 minutes of travel time and a few minutes of transfer time.
Public transit fares in Greater Montréal (for buses, the metro, commuter trains and the future REM) are set by the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM).
We are currently working with the ARTM to integrate the REM into the fare schedule. In general, REM fares are expected to be similar to current fares for comparable distances. For trips to the airport, a different fare may be charged for one-way tickets, as is done elsewhere in the world (this will not affect monthly passes). The ARTM will be making decisions on these details over the coming months.
