Alstom, a global leader in sustainable transportation, has delivered the first long-distance train for Mexico’s ambitious Tren Maya project. These trains, built in Mexico by local workers, offer a comfortable and safe travel experience with modern features for passengers.
The Mexican Caribbean is experiencing a tourism boom, with new developments in infrastructure, hospitality, and culinary offerings. The region’s focus on enhancing the visitor experience has resulted in the opening of a new international airport in Tulum, expansion of the Tren Maya rail service, and the introduction of Mexico’s first Michelin-starred restaurants.
A recent traveler on the Tren Maya, Edgar Jiménez, has shared his disappointing experience, highlighting unfinished infrastructure, limited services, and logistical issues. Jiménez found deserted stations, ongoing construction, and subpar food offerings, leading him to criticize the project as a “failed project worthy of an absurd presidential whim.”
