High-speed train is more accurate

Ya probably right about being click baity🤣But I do appreciate the info about the card. Some college students we rode with that where from Merida had those cards. I didn't realize they were available to anyone. I did see infrastructure slowing going up for possibly going fully electric maybe??? Then maybe we will get that bullet train ranking.🤣🤣🤣Thank you for watching sir.

@@ChunkyMonkeyTraveler The train between Merida and Cancun is full electric right now but when you get past Merida the train switches to diesel power. The "locomotives" are hybrid DMUs where they can run on Diesel or Electric and are made by Alstom, the French company that builds the TGV (actual bullet train). They're built in Mexico and the top speed is 160kph (100 mph). The plan for the Tren Maya is for it to be electric from Merida to Cancun and then south all the way to Chetumal. The rest will stay diesel for now but could be updated at any point. There is more optimization time in the schedule, for instance the train sits in Merida and Campeche for 8 minutes each. It sits in the smaller stations a couple of minutes too. There's probably 20-25 minutes of lag time in the schedule currently which is used to ensure the train is on time. There has been mention of an express train that doesn't stop at the in-between stops in the future. If the Cancun-Merida train skipped Tixcocob, Izamal, Nueva Xcan, and Leona Vicario it would shave about another 20 minutes off (10 minutes in station, 10 minutes in the slowdown/speedup). With this rolling stock I'd be shocked if they could ever get the Merida to Cancun trip to be shorter than 2:50 though. Anything faster than that will need new rolling stock. However that's a lot better than the 4 hour bus ride to Cancun followed by another 50 minute bus to the airport. Even the 3:30 current timing is better. The Tren Maya folks ordered 42 trainsets and have only received half of them currently but when the rest get built they're planning on having 10 trains per day between Merida and Cancun. This has been an interesting project to watch and it has given Mexico the political willpower and confidence to keep building. Claudia Sheirnbaum says construction on the Mexico City to Queretaro line starts in April of 2025! Back to the Va-y-Ven card. There's a Va-y-Ven app, it's a bit odd to use but it has real-time data on the buses. The schedule data is also handed over to Google so if you use Google maps you can see when the next bus is coming. The Merida-Progreso bus however, is not in the system and I expect in the future it will be replaced by a Va-y-Ven bus that is. You saw Cancun's Electric buses for taking people from the Tren Maya station to the airport. Merida has the IE-Tram to take people to the city and Campeche has a double articulated "tram" which is an electric bus that runs on the old train roadbed (but on tires). It's not operational yet but will be. Overall, this has been a fantastic investment into SE Mexico! Have fun.

@@GrantMcWilliams Awesome awesome information and knowledge. I thank you sir.

@@moi20003 I believe from the infrastructure I saw, that this train maybe fully electric in the future.

@@suebrurell5282 check at the 5:53 mark on the video and I walk through a room.thank you for watching.I will be back in PV on the 9th

@@maritesssslatessstt1979 Yes, you should go there sometime ❤️❤️❤️

Yes I did try snake wine. It was 40 proof alcohol in it. Yes I am back traveling. I have so much content to edit. I still have plenty from Vietnam. Da nang, sapa, halong bay and more. Right now doing a blitz through a half dozen places in Mexico. I still have footage from Dominica Republic and Puerto Rico from last year.

@@SoulShift22 Thank you for watching!! You can’t go wrong staying in that area. District 1 is very safe and has everything you need within a very short walk. Grab (Uber) is cheap and always close by. I really look forward to exploring more again on another trip. My next video is a day tour on the Mekong Delta…stay tuned!!

@@Sean-gf5wf It was amazing! Can’t wait to go back. My next video will really show some beautiful lit buildings as well as a tour of the Independence Palace.

Espiri Gonzales Tequila Store. It’s about a 20 minute walk due north on the boardwalk from Los Muertos Beach Pier

Buenas tardes leago huna pregunta por las anitadoones para cuatro personas cuánto sale por noche

Thanks for subscribing, greatly appreciated !!!

🤣🤣🤣😌 actually that video was sent to me by another driver as it was happening.

I am sure because of being a tourist like you said. But I have used didi/Uber more often now in mexico. I am heading back to Puerto Vallarta next week. Enjoy Mazatlan! I hope to get back there more. The plaza in old town is really nice place to visit.

At that time we paid about $50 dollars a night for that room
