Service schedule and frequency
The REM will be in service 20 hours a day. Its schedule will vary according to the day of the week.
Transit fares
REM fares have been integrated in the ARTM fare schedule and also include metro, bus and train access to simplify your travel in the Greater Montréal area.
Transit fare prices vary according to your point of departure, your point of arrival, and the geographic zones you cross on the way (A, B, C or D). At the time of commissioning, and until the installation of gates in the stations in the fall of 2023, you will need to ensure that you validate your ticket using the on-site validators before entering the network.
Avoid waiting in line by purchasing your transit tickets in advance at any existing points of sale. Find a point of sale now
Fares are compatible with your OPUS card.
