Montreal's REM and Metro Safety: A Step Forward

The Réseau Électrique Métropolitain (REM) is set to revolutionize Montreal's transportation system with the scheduled opening of the Deux-Montagnes branch on November 17, 2025. This development is expected to enhance connectivity and efficiency across the city.

Suicide Prevention in the Metro

In a related effort to improve safety, four coroners have made recommendations to prevent suicides in the Montreal metro. Between 2015 and 2023, there were 169 suicide attempts in the metro network, highlighting the need for effective prevention measures.

Impact of REM on Montreal Transportation

The introduction of the REM is anticipated to have a significant impact on Montreal's transportation infrastructure. By providing a more integrated and efficient network, the REM is expected to reduce travel times and improve the overall commuting experience.

As Montreal moves forward with the REM and implements suicide prevention measures, the city is taking a proactive approach to enhancing both its transportation system and the safety of its citizens.
