How to get ready for your visit?
To help make your experience, and that of others, as enjoyable as possible, here are a few helpful tips :
- Limit yourself to one round trip. This allows more people to board and enjoy the REM.
- Plan for about 1.5 hours if you wish to do a visit that includes a round trip between Des Sources and Anse-à-l’Orme stations, time to visit each of the new four stations, as well as any expected waiting time. We invite you to adjust your itinerary based on your availability.
- Plan your trip. We invite you to consult trip planners to optimize your travel.
- Be patient and anticipate possible lineups. Enjoy the opening weekend to explore and discover the network without rushing. Indeed, the number of visitors aboard REM cars and at most stations is expected to be high. Long lineups are likely and wait times may therefore be extended.
