FYI: The transfers at Panama station existed pre-REM, as local transit ran express buses to downtown Montreal from there, all day every day. At peak hours, this was supplemented by some local routes that extended their routes across the river, but those also did pickups at Panama.

I wonder how that would have looked with TTC+GO+suburban local transit versus STM+ RTL+STL+Exo+REM? 🤔
