My concern is that REM is not going beyond the West Island and would there not be potential congestion issues at the couple of road crossing onto the island? So, why would we want to cancel commuter service that has its own right of way onto the island? By all means, get rid of it once REM has its own crossing to Vaudreuil, but to force people onto buses that may be held up in regular traffic? How is this beneficial to commuters and how does it have a positive affect on ridership? As others have pointed out, people have very limited tolerance towards additional transfers.
