How is the Tren Maya and will it work?

[@alexgranados8719]

You forgot to speak about the Tren Interoceánico that will connect to the tren maya in Palenque to Coatzacoalcos and from there to the Pacific Ocean port of Salina Cruz. There will will be industrial parks for companies that want to invest in the area and this project plans to complement the Panama Canal.

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

We alluded to it but that is another big piece of the puzzle in Mexico that is adding to the infrastructure. It is an exciting and interesting time in Mexico to see so many things happening. We might have to do another video just about the Interoceanico Tren.

Buen video, uno de los motivos que informaron la autoridades que están a cargo del tren maya, es que por el momento no están viajando a su máxima velocidad por que las vías se tiene que ir asentando poco a poco, obviamente lo dijeron en un lenguaje técnico, pero el resumen del mensaje es ese, además las mismas autoridades pidieron paciencia, ya que es una autoridad militar la que está a cargo del tren maya. dijeron que poco a poco irán mejorando, por citar un ejemplo uno de los primero cambios que hicieron las primeras semanas, fue que cambiaron a la empresa que suministraba comida y bebidas al tren, por que a la gente no le gustó el servicio, y escucharon las peticiones y cambiaron de empresa, así como este ejemplo irá mejorando, hay que recordar además que vendrán en febrero más trenes, incluidos los de lujo, las que tienen restaurantes y camas. saludos! paciencia porfavor!

there are multiple reasons for the stationts not to be so close to the center of the cities... 1.- its accounting for the growth of the cities in the next 30 years and 2.- the underground could have cuased damage to the cenotes so they changed the rout many times to mitigate the ecological problems. i also want to add that right now there are working at 120km but will work at 160 later. and also want to point out that the tulum airport is far from the city center for growth and tulum will have two train maya stations... one at the airport and one close to the city center. and i believe as of right now you can buy at the station, 'station to station' tickets like cancun to teya-merida, you no longer need to buy the whole way like before.

See, the Train Maya will have centres of information for tourists as well as ecological hotels in stations and stops where there are ruins as well as there will be ecological tours to the ruins not just the stations and if you want to go to any downtown well you can go there too but it’s not the sole intention to replace a bus or a car. There will be 3 different trains , the one that’s actually running which was a priority for our president so Mayan people and locals so they could move in a cheap way . Workers of the unfinished project alike. There will be also a restaurant train and a rooms train for long distances with beds and shower . So maybe there will be people that take that train and rest although it could be faster driving or by bus . If you want to see the whole project as it will be with images and all stops and stations I just found it in one KZbin channel named Pacheco Tv but it’s only in Spanish . Thanks for the vid

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

It is good there will be more aspects of the project, but there are places like Playa Del Camren that have no ruins and are a place to get on the train. It was originally going to be built along the 307 Highway and in the center of Playa. Now it is on the western edge of town. So, the efficiency of using it for the airport and even adding time to overall journeys is more. This is one example of how it could have been more efficient.

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

You can leave direct from the Cancun Airport to Merida. We would not risk booking this trip yet since not all the trains are running, and the trains do not run exactly on time now. Also currently you can only buy that ticket in the station, so it will be better when the Tren Maya has an official website to book all the tickets. Currently there are several trains a day but this will become more frequent.

[@samsongomah1318]

Canadian here who lives in Southern Mexico part time. The Tren Maya began operating earlier than it should have started up. The reason for the early start was entirely political. The president wanted to earn some brownie points in the media to promote candidates for the upcoming elections at the end of the year. The first train, on which he road, was delayed for hours because the system wasn't ready. Overall, the train system is probably safe, but not ready for daily use. Expect unannounced delays and cancellations. This is what happens when political imperatives win over operational imperatives.

Great information!! Tren Maya needs to hire you as their English Spokesman. I plan to fly into Cancun next week and take the train to Palenque with a couple stops in between. Due to its limited daily run of one way once a day, I am going to mix the transportation with ADO buses. I noticed on the ticket portal of the Tren Maya website, it seems they use a rolling 7-day window in which one can purchase their tickets. When I tried to purchase tickets online two weeks out, the date wasn't available. Do you know if in fact they have a limited time window in which to purchase tickets? Also, is it possible for seats to sell out while there is limited train service (i.e., One train going each way once a day)?

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

The Tren Maya is having a limited window of ticket sales now. The platform for buying has already changed once and have had other issues with the tickets. We have never seen a train sell out except the first inaugural ones. What might happen is the non ability to buy same day tickets.

[@samuelplouvier6559]

One of the reasons of why Tren Maya is far from downtown in every mayor city is because it would almost replace buses, which are still the dominant transportation and tons of drivers would lose their jobs and there would be more interest to sabotage the project. Thus if the train is far from downtown buses and taxis can still have some market. That was a well planned strategy. The government wants to boost the railroad system but slowly enough to not create panic in other guilds of transportation (which are known to be confrontational at times).

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

Yes, transportation is a multimillion-dollar business here. Wink wink.

[@samsongomah1318]

That is partly why the Guardia Nacional has devoted considerable resources to policing the train. The risk of sabotage and the risk the train could become a target for native protestors who might block the tracks regularly.

Is there big regulation against farming in Mexico? (To protect US farmers?) How about buying land and building home?

@@sbkarajan There is a lot of farming in the Yucatan. Most of it is smaller scale farming and not large industrial type. Since the peninsula is rocky it is hard to have large open fields. It takes 100 years to make one inches of dirt, so the peninsula does not have much dirt since it used to be part of the ocean floor. As far as buying a house or land in Mexico, it is pretty easy.

The stations will create their own little hubs of community that eventually they will be their own center and what we now see as the center of the city will be secondary.

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

To some degree it is possible but the biggest thing that people don't realize is that many stations are built next to or in part ejido land. Ejido land has separate rights and is limited since it is not titled land. Then there are highways, airports and industrial zones next to stations that do not make it conducive to make a new city center.

ok

Can you qualified as high speed train if it top speed is only 120 miles standard is 160 china high speed average 300 km a hr with advanced ticket and qr code food delivery.

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

Here it is considered faster than what the speed limit is on the highway which is 110 km. But compared to other high speed trains, no it is not fast.

Acabo de pasar por el ADO de Villahermosa y Playa del Carmen, y son un verdadero asco. Además el Platino por más lujoso que sea, no se presta como para disfrutar el paisaje, comer, o ponerte a leer, cosa que sí los trenes. Mi siguiente viaje será con el tren Maya y el tren del Istmo, seguro.

[@sumadomi]

You should come back 2 years from now and do a review of those issues, There is a lot of infrastructure and development that have the train as their transport hub but i would say the train is only about 40% of the total.

[@tucsonazul]

Is not that the service is bad, or the on line services are bad... Its under completed. brand new and fixing errors

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

Our main concern is not that everything is not finished, but rather the lack of online customer service. There is none that we have found. There is good customer service in the stations, but most people are looking for basic information before planning a trip.

[@jazzzgrlj]

Such mixed feelings about this Tren . If you are a foreigner , don’t balk at the price. Mexico deserves their income and the locals using it for transport deserve a fair price . I worry what this does to the to the environment tho…

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

We remember in Ecuador taking the train and there were very different prices for tourist and locals. It seemed very fair and really said anything. The pricing here is similar to the bus for locals, unfortunately, not for local trips or daily trips, because it is not efficient in time and costs more. It costs more because you need to pay to get to and from the train stations. So, most of the Mexicans that take the train are middle class from other parts of México that want to take it once to try it.

[@justahomosapiens1861]

The massive ecological impact of the construction of this train has been overlooked. It's estimated 9 million trees were cut to allow for the tracks.....let's now hope the underground rivers that make life possible in the Yucatan peninsula will not be polluted.

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

There are new parts that were cut through the forest, like any road or new highway, things are cut. The highway from Merida to Cancun was moved mostly to one side and the other side converted into tracks. This still cut trees but the amount cut will pretty much grow back. Most of that growth was not old forest. We are much more concerned about people draining oil on the ground and other household chemicals, pig farming and other things that damage our ecosystem. There is much more pollution from humans living than the train will pollute. Any big project will negatively impact the environment, we would rather have a train than more shopping malls and ranches where they clearcut forest. There is give and take to everything, but from everything we have seen, there are positives that balance out more the project than other construction.

[@justahomosapiens1861]

@@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom Thanks for sharing. I'm still not convinced this project was necessary and will turn out to yield the anticipation benefits or whether it'll just be a zero sum one, however, with an also surely money making enterprise that will mortgage ?Mexican taxpayers for a generation or two. Guess time will tell. Cheers.

@@justahomosapiens1861 The Tren Maya is AMLO's monument to himself. No word on how it will cure many of Mexico's basic problems: lack of basic infrastructure, no potable water or recycling, no unemployment insurance or welfare, barely functioning public education or healthcare, riddled with corruption and lawlessness, no functioning law enforcement or legal system, and incredibly poor. Not to mention the cartels control huge swaths of territory.

luce demasiado barata la infraestructura

Looks fucktaf

This train was a good idea but with the lack of planning and overcosts by corruption and ineptitude ended up being expensive, ineficient, slower and impractical in comparison with existing options, so it will remain as a white elephant in the room for the next decades subsidized by, guess hwho? we the mexicans with our tax money. Good job!

[@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom]

One would think that launching a major infrastructure project for tourism, they would have a customer service online. This is one of the things that is still missing. Plus, even locals cannot buy tickets online. So yes, lots of room for improvement.

[@abbagus1]

This is the passengers train , the restaurant train and the train with bedrooms/showers will be available too and they’re bigger , double the size . This one already in use is for short distances and stops. There will be ecological hotels and centres for ecological tours to the ruins and the jaguar sanctuary at major stations or ruins, cenotes that were discovered with technology prior to the railroads reinstallation , they’re unveiled already and their discovery even caused detours from the original routes . The whole project is still under construction , 24/7, but the rush of opening this train is for workers in this project as well as for the mayas to connect already . Of course people have travelled to show president our support since he was attacked with fakes regarding ecology and destruction by developers and animal traffickers and the train system is new for the millenials who weren’t born by the time there were trains in Mexico sold by a former corrupt president . The restaurant and the bedroom trains have a different design of colors .

[@samsongomah1318]

Why thank AMLO? Mega-projects like the Tren Maya will not reverse the fortunes of Mexico. The country lacks basic infrastructure, does not have potable water or recycling, no unemployment insurance or welfare, barely functioning public education or healthcare, is riddled with corruption and lawlessness, has no functioning law enforcement or legal system, and incredibly poor. The Tren Maya will not change anything and AMLO certainly hasn't done anything to help Mexicans in 5 years in power.
