9:20 a.m.

Service has resumed on the yellow line of the Montreal metro after disruptions earlier Monday morning.

Service on the light-rail train line (REM) network is also back to normal.

8:30 a.m.

Metro service on Montreal’s yellow line of the STM was shut down Monday morning starting at 7:10 a.m. due to what the STM described as a water infiltration.

The transit authority said in a post on X that service is expected to resume at 9:40 a.m. The agency has initially planned for it to resume at 7:40 a.m., later changing that estimate.

A shuttle bus service was set up between Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke station and Papineau station on the green line to help commuters, as well as between Jean-Drapeau and Bonaventure stations on the orange line.

Meantime, the entire light-rail train line (REM) network experienced a service slowdown beginning just before 8 a.m. The REM website cited a “limited number of vehicles” in service.
