To reduce costs and maximize ridership, Aéroports de Montréal proposes integrated light-rail transit (LRT) system linking the South Shore, downtown, the airport and West Island.

In a presentation made yesterday to the Committee on Public Finance’s consultations on Bill 38, Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) has proposed to the Government of Québec and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec that the light-rail transit (LRT) systems of the South Shore and West Island be integrated into a single network with a view to maximizing ridership. Using the same type of rolling stock and a common intermediate station downtown would reduce costs for infrastructure and operations.
