The Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) is a fully automated, entirely electric light metro system. Operating without drivers, the trains are guided by a control center to guarantee continuous equipment functionality. This automated system stands as one of the world’s safest and most dependable transportation solutions.

Covering the greater Montréal area, this superstructure includes 26 stations and spans 67 km (41 mi) of tracks in both directions. In comparison, the current metro network is 69.2 km (43 mi) long. Providing services 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, this new light metro rapid transit system features approximately 21.5 km (13 mi) of elevated structures. This includes 16.2 km (10 mi) of segmental guideway in the Sainte-Anne-De-Bellevue, Airport, and part of Deux Montagnes antennas.

SYSTRA IBT is responsible for the detailed design of the elevated guideway structure and substructures on the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Airport, and Deux-Montagnes antennas, which together constitute approximately 16.2 km (10 mi) of the 67 km (41 mi) REM network.
