In 205 days of operation, the Maya Train has transported 246,926 passengers, equivalent to filling the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City 2.6 times, reported Óscar David Lozano Águila, the general director of this project.

At the morning press conference, he noted that the train was designed to boost the development of the country's southeast by promoting efficient connectivity with modern railway infrastructure, driving tourism, and attracting investments that are generating employment and economic growth in the region.

The 1,554-kilometer train route is divided into seven segments that pass through Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo. It crosses 36 municipalities in the country, with 34 stations, ten visitor centers, three national parks, six hotels, and four airports.

"The Palenque station has a hotel just 15 kilometers away, the Boca del Cerro station, Tenosique, which also has a maintenance base that will allow us to maintain the entire route, El Triunfo, Candelaria, and in Escárcega, we also have a workshop and a garage for the maintenance and storage of the trains," he said.
