CAQ prefers extended REM at Lanaudière

Premier Legalt wants to see the REM extended from the East to the Lanadier area.

Going through this area, François Legault told a news conference that his team was going to evaluate the option of extending the REM de l’Est because, in his opinion, the train de l’Est was not the best option for residents of Lanaudiere. .

“I know the train coming from the east is not the best because of the tables, there are no high frequencies, it is long. We need a new project and extend REM de l’Est in Lanaudière. I think this is a good plan and it will be taken care of, ”he said.

The Prime Minister further said that he would like to develop an electric transport model like REM to serve the region.

This proposal will be looked into by the Regional Metropolitan Transport Authority and the Ministry of Transport and may affect the future of the Eastern Railway.

The Prime Minister was in Joliet to announce the candidate for the next election.
