Maya Train Hits 1.7M Passengers Milestone

QUINTANA ROO, Mexico — President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that the Maya Train has transported a total of 1.7 million passengers since its service began. During a speech, the President of Mexico urged the public not to believe false information circulating about the flagship project of the Fourth Transformation administration.

The Maya Train is one of the most prominent national projects in recent years. It was created not only to improve mobility for citizens and tourists in southern Mexico but is also slated for future use as a freight transport service. The project has become a topic of significant interest following the president's revelation of the official passenger figures.

Quintana Roo and the Maya Train have become increasingly interconnected over time. The Government of Mexico and Governor Mara Lezama have stated that the project's objective is to support citizen mobility and boost local tourism. This latter goal has been a primary reason for the train's use in the Riviera Maya area, where its promotions and tours have contributed to a rise in tourism for the state of Quintana Roo by facilitating travel between municipalities.
