Your pet is allowed on the REM in certain circumstances

Guide dogs and service dogs are allowed if they are assisting people with disabilities or if they are being trained. Other animals must at all times be kept in carrier cages or other closed carriers designed to safely transport animals.

REM is conducting a pilot project to allow dogs on leashes on the network.

Details of the pilot project

Starting August 19, 2024:

• Authorized, except during the following prohibited periods:
  • Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
  • Monday to Friday between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Here are a few rules to follow for this pilot project: 

• All dogs must wear muzzles, from the moment they enter the station until they leave.
• You must keep your pet firmly on a leash, with a maximum length of 1.25 m (49 in.) between the hand holding the leash and the attachment on the animal.
• Only one dog per passenger is allowed.
• Under no circumstances may dogs occupy car seats or benches on station platforms.

Some entrances to the network are located in buildings that do not belong to the Réseau express métropolitain. The stations concerned are Du Quartier and Gare Centrale. Owners of these buildings may allow pet dogs in their buildings in certain areas only. If you intend to use one of these accesses, please enquire beforehand.
