REM will offer free service to mark the opening of the Deux-Montagnes station this weekend.
Passengers can ride the REM for free on Saturday, Nov. 15, and Sunday, Nov. 16, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. between the Deux-Montagnes and Gare Centrale stations. Between Gare Centrale and Brossard, service will follow the regular schedule.
The Deux-Montagnes branch will officially open on Nov. 17.
Due to the high ridership anticipated, bicycles and pets will not be allowed during the weekend, the REM said.

Visitors who wish to make the entire trip—a round trip between McGill and Deux-Montagnes stations—should allow approximately two and a half hours.
REM stations can be accessed on foot, by bike, and by public transit. Most stations are also accessible by car.
However, there will be a full shutdown of the STM service this weekend after the Labour tribunal approved a strike by bus drivers and metro operators union.
