    In defense of the Montreal rem it had to share a the highway bridge that crosses the saint Lawrence River. It’s a long bridge that’s high enough to let fret ships to go under so very expensive. The only reason the rem crosses the river is because the population insisted on adding rails to the bridge when they prematurely had to rebuild it (because car traffic was unexpectedly high and the bridge was not built to withstand such a load). Also the city portion connects directly to a popular metro station and a long distance passenger train station.
