It's Montreal, so you are indeed correct. Honolulu did actually open the first segment of a very similar automated light metro system just 2 weeks ago, although it doesn't have the same service frequency as ours. It's still enough to make it America's newest metro system, though!

Is this the REM? Operating frequency is 3:45 to 7:30.

Perhaps it is one of the future legs that will hit 2:30?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

From what I understood, it will be 3:45 at first and they will ramp it up eventually to 2:30 on the existing line

Meanwhile in Toronto, there's a bunch of public transit "promised" but all of them are going to run over the deadline by like 5 years. It's still way better than nothing.
