When the REM stops, operations centre springs into action

When someone or something gets onto the tracks of the REM’s light-rail network, a team of 12 employees in Brossard springs into action in seconds. Traffic operators monitor more than 7,600 cameras and ensure the trains are running smoothly, according to a predetermined schedule. About 95 per cent of the network can be seen through the cameras, and 99 per cent of the trains are visible.
