Reseau Express Metropolitain

Montreal's new light-rail transit system had a bumpy debut on its first full day of operation as a problem with the track forced a shutdown at the height of the morning rush hour.

Montreal’s new light-rail train network stands out among major transit projects in Canada: it opened within a relatively short time frame and government didn't get in the way.

Premier Francois Legault says his government will force the Caisse to purchase trains made in Quebec as part of the extension of Montreal's Reseau Express Metropolitain light-rail system.
