Yes. There is also commuter rail to Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue but I don't think it's that frequent. Things might have changed since I last looked at that line. Certainly there is no rail to Brossard or the airport. There are frequent buses. The airport bus works pretty well but has no lane priority so it gets stuck in traffic. The Brossard buses get to run contraflow on the Champlain bridge but I think that will change also.
The real difference here, I think, is that one would presume that light rail would run more often than every hour. The stations are really quite far apart.
