Services

Panama station is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station in the city of Brossard, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by CDPQ Infra and serves as a station on the South Shore branch of the REM. The station opened on 31 July 2023.

The station replaced the Panama bus terminus and functions as a large transit hub for the cities of Longueuil and Brossard. This station is equipped with a bus terminal as well as a 304-space parking lot.

History

The bus terminus was inaugurated in 1985. The original building was located at the intersection of Panama Street and Taschereau Boulevard. It was adjacent to both Autoroute 10 and Mail Champlain. The new building is located 70 metres (230 ft) south of the old terminal, situating itself closer to the new Panama station. In 2006, a busway (bus lane) was constructed between the terminus and the Taschereau Interchange of Autoroute 10.

Starting in September 2018, the bus terminus was progressively demolished to make way for the Panama station of the Réseau express métropolitain rapid transit network. A temporary bus terminal was implemented in 2020 in order to make way for additional construction. The new bus terminal opened partially on July 11, 2022, with the waiting area and entrance to the REM closed. The new terminal was named Terminus Panama, instead of Terminus Brossard-Panama, to not confuse it with the new Brossard station.

Artwork

The station will have a photographic artwork on the internal corridors of the station, by photographer Chih-Chien Wang.
