The first cars will be tested on the South Shore during the winter to see how they hold up in Montreal's weird and wonderful weather.
Though construction was delayed thanks to the pandemic and a sudden explosion in the Mount Royal Tunnel, REM structures continue to go up and the whole network is set to be operational by the end of 2024.
