As Quebec prepares to reopen amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, some Montreal-area commuters are worried about using public transit, specifically on exo’s Deux-Montagnes train line.
Construction on the Mount Royal Tunnel, part of Montreal’s electric train network known as the Réseau express métropolitain, is set to resume on May 11, bringing with it the long-anticipated closure of the Deux-Montagnes line.
Work on the tunnel was pushed back in March due to health and safety concerns related to the pandemic. But now, the Quebec government is easing restrictions and allowing for a gradual reopening of certain sectors of the economy as well as primary schools and daycares.
