Tren Maya Cancun to Merida

[@dennisforner6090]

Nice way to travel on a very hot day Mark. It seemed to me that this was Mexico's version of Brighline in Florida without all the trimmings. I'm sure when it is finished it will be even more popular

Very similar. The Cancun Airport station will be very impressive when it's finished

The Mayan train destroys the Balkanization project for Mexico... Geographic mobility is vital to maintain the territorial integrity of a country. By taking away the train, which worked throughout the republic, under the pretext that "it was not profitable" they took away our geographical mobility, in this way they intended that the regions of Mexico, once isolated, would lose the feeling of identity with the others. They were already achieving it in the north, even this led to almost all the border states having cecessionist governments that... when the time came they would appeal to "corrupt centralism" to seek the first separation. But López Obrador came to remind us of the greatness of Mexico, to tell us that we are not lazy or corrupt, but simply that we have been poorly governed. This new nationalist, patriotic sentiment resonated loudly, to the point that when they desperately tried to advance the project, they could no longer find it. response from the people, it was already another Mexico. Now it's time to return the train, but how? If it started in the center it would support the discourse that appeals to "centralism", if it started in the north, in the event that there was no continuity there it would have stayed, it would not have advanced to the other regions. Starting it in the South was the best option, because it hurts the northern ego, "Why is there a passenger train in the underdeveloped south and not here?" This would inevitably lead the people of this region to demand a passenger rail network, thereby contributing to the interconnection of the entire country and the restoration of national identity. But it goes further... Now it extends to Guatemala, which will bring territorial integration between these two countries that in turn will give prosperity and well-being, but El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica will not want to be left out. This in turn opens the door to a possible peaceful annexation (something rarely seen in the world) of the entire Mayan area and later, in a scenario where Panama also collaborates, it could reach Colombia, which by then would already have its own. own passenger network too. The doors have been opened to the restoration of the territorial integrity of Mexico, but also to the definitive integration of all of America and all thanks to López Obrador. How can I not be proud of my president?o

Hello Mark, is it necessary to bring the passport when using Tren Maya? Thank you very much for your nice video.

[@TravelwithMark]

Not strictly required to bring a passport, but you do need some picture ID if I remember correctly. To get a local rate on the ticket you will need a local ID. Thank you

[@moniquew1453]

Can I buy tickets minutes before traveling?

[@TravelwithMark]

I believe you can, although I have not tried it. You can purchase an electronic ticket and show it on your smartphone

Ticket prices are at their website. They may change over time so I don't usually tell prices if they're publicly available. Website is at www.trenmaya.gob.mx/
