Here all the periods of Montreal's past are gathered in one place, around a monument dedicated to the city's founders. Place d'Armes, the heart of the city offers a striking historical panorama. There are certain attractions here that you won’t want to miss. Upon your arrival to Old Town you can set off to explore this historical district on you own. Funding has also come from the Quebec and Canadian governments, as well as Hydro-Québec, the province’s electric utility.Your excursion begins at the pier in Quebec City where you’ll board your coach for a comfortable 3 hour ride to the quaint island city of Montreal.
The fund has invested more than $3 billion in the REM, which as of 2021 had a cost estimate of $6.9 billion.
Instead, its planning and construction are under the control of a subsidiary of Quebec’s public pension fund, which expects to profit from the new network. Unlike other large projects, including the much-delayed Toronto Eglinton Crosstown light-rail line and beleaguered Ottawa Confederation Line, the REM is not the domain of a public transit agency. The REM represents a new model for transit planning in Canada. Legault said he expects the REM will herald profound change in “the way of seeing public transit in Quebec,” and will put an end to what the premier described as an era in which the province “talked a lot and didn’t realize much” in terms of large-scale infrastructure. “Electrification is a huge part of how we’re moving forward as a country,” he said, adding that the REM symbolizes a “great future” for Canada with more electric buses and rail, including high-frequency trains.
