Third line of Montreal’s REM light-rail network to open May 18 with four new stations
The new segment adds 14 kilometers and four stations, and Pulsar says the REM will reach 23 stations across 63 kilometers.
- On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the REM announced the Anse-à-l'Orme branch will open on May 18, expanding the light-rail network into Montreal's West Island and granting nearly a dozen municipalities access to the system.
- This new branch extends the network by 14 kilometres, adding four stations—Des Sources, Fairview Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, and Anse-à-l'Orme—parallel to Highway 40, bringing the total to 23 stations over 63 kilometres.
- Residents in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue can reach downtown in 32 minutes, with trains running every 10 minutes during peak commuting periods and every 15 minutes outside peak hours.
- Trains entered final testing dubbed "marche à blanc," operating on regular schedules day and night according to their regular routes but without accepting passengers before May 18.
- Access to the REM expands to nearly a dozen municipalities, though transit users must wait until 2027 for the final connection to the Trudeau International Airport station to open.
