It looks beautiful but if it's not finished, there's room for improvement of course. BTW, there's always room for improvement

Love your content. Thank you for your information

Love this channel! ❤

I love your comments. You are objective and measured on the explanation of a new train communication system.

Oh, the tren maya train. Very expensive and not much difference between 1st and 2nd class. (air condition + solo seats. ) No wifi. You do get free meals depending on the distance youre travelling . And do make sure you are not in a hurry coz timetables are pretty laid back . They are however in the process of making faster and electrified tracks and more services available onboard. Such as sleeper trains and upgrading a seated dining area. The trains themselves are of chinese origin.

Go back to your country

Hi. I watched your videos for a while, and I am a new subscriber. I’m interested in moving to Mexico but I would like to talk to an attorney about the process. Can you recommend an immigration attorney that I can talk to you about moving to Mexico?

awesome video very informative I am still yet to go in may, by then I do believe all 7 sections of the train will be fully operational, but the reason you see most Mexicans on the train really excited about it because about 20 years ago the government in Mexico took away our passenger trains across the whole country, sold them out for scrap metal and privatized the train lines for cargo only, so to us its not just a train or an experience, its an achievement for the people of Mexico that we got this huge project bein built and becoming a reality but as you said they will continue to improve I think you should make another video with this title once its completely finished saludos desde Tijuana Baja California

Thanks for the review. I am curious if you spotted anyone bringing their bicycle on the train on any of your train trips? It is my understanding that bikes are permitted but I have yet to see any reviews to verify this. Thanks again.

Excellent information friend, I am from CDMX and we will travel as a family in January to those incredible lands and we cannot miss a trip on the Mayan train! greetings

I love how informative your videos are regarding the Maya Trein. I’m pretty sure you’re giving the most detail and perspective on it. 👌🏾

Cool to see other North Americans living in Merida. Been here since I’m 15

Such a waste of money tbh, it's an overpromising project with EVRYTHING underdelivering

God blessed

Hi! I’m thinking about traveling to Peru for a couple of months, but I don’t want my company to find out. Is this possible? Would you please let me know what I need to do? Thank you

The short and correct answer is no. The prices are obscene, for everyone and not discounting for residents is an insult. The train was for AMLO, not Mexico. Have white/rich guilt, be a Nationalist, wear rose tinted glasses or wake up and be real. The train is a failure. Once the RUclipsrs are done the train will fade...

Great video! I have shared this with all of my friends and neighbors in Tulum Country Club (Bahia Principe). Keep up the great content!

Thank you for the real deal talk. Saludos from Washington state.

Problem is, money needs to be spent to maintain the infrastructure and pay all the employees. Hard to catch up!

Going in March. I hope all hotels are functional by then. I hear all the 1500 kilometers are now.

Looks like the connections need work, otherwise looks interesting.

Man thank you making an update on this, the train seems amazing as a hard product. However, it appears much more difficult to reach the actual destination without an additional mode of transport. I would love the train to replace ADO, but it appears ADO is still more convenient at this time.

Tu ingles es muy bueno, pero estas en Mexico, aprende a hablar en español cuando vengas!

Great video! Thanks for sharing that info!

Monte, If I don't catch you before Christmas; Feliz Navidad!!

Monte, When I left Centro Mérida, Yucatán back in September, I chose Tren Maya to CUN. I bought my ticket online. Being familiar with Mañana time, and it because it was My first experience with Tren Maya I decided to take Uber from Centro to Tren Maya station that was quite a ride. Once I arrived at the Merida station it was clean, and about as organized as most things in México. Asking questions turned into committee meetings. Lol. I boarded the train where I quided to. To my pleasant surprise I was able to buy Corona beer and a bag of chips where I paid airport prices. I found My seat, met my row neighbors and we worked on Our language skills and enjoyed a pleasant ride to the Cancun Tren Maya station where I borded the transfer bus to Cancun airport. All in all, muy buenos!

In October, I took the Tren Maya from Mérida-Teya to PDC. When I got to the station in PDC, the taxi driver definitely charged me 500 pesos for a 15-minute drive to my Airbnb. Total rip off. I would take the ADO or just order a taxi on the app next time.

It is no wonder that only 18% ridership on a train that the Mexican president dreamt of when he was a kid and that's why he built it, I believe there was no actual economic impact study done before building it.

How full were the trains? I read that the occupancy of the Cancun Playa del Carmen line is only 30 %

And by the way, every local I’ve asked recently was uninterested and has zero info on the tren. Makes me feel like it’s a bit more political than we realize as expats. Hopefully they will improve connections and prices which will make it more realistic for locals. Also the eventual infill development around stations is a big deal with any new train anywhere. New cities will likely spring up around the stations that are far outside of the existing cities. All in time. Overall this will be good for Mexico. Trains change everything for regions.

I think it was a huge mistake to make the stations so far from the cities. It's almost like they want people to not use it regularly. Why do they make this? I don't know, same happens in the US and Canada with train transportation.

Can you just show up? What’s the schedule like? Their website with the schedule never works for me. I took the ADO to Merida from PDC last week because I realized the train is forever far away from the ferry in PDC while the bus station is easy walking distance. Same in Merida.

As a Mexican I feel a little disappointed, I mean I know having a train network is better than nothing but they could have done it way better. -The internet still missing -The tulum station should be inside the Tulum airport both were building at the same time 😭 Most stations are outside the cities and in the future they will be part of the city -opening early, they are running the experience of many people, you live there and can take it many times but the outsider will not have the opportunity to have a better experience. At least the new president learned from the mistakes of Amlo and the next lines will be better planned. Anyway, thanks for the videos. It was amazing, and the quality is awesome.❤

El Tren Maya is a pet project of the former president and was ill-conceived from the start. There were never any technical, economic, or environmental studies done to determine its feasability. The entire pet project is nothing more than a massive waste of Mexican taxpayer money. It's estimated that when it is completed, the entire project will have cost at least $50 billion U.S. dollars and will *_never_* be profitable. As it is, the train is barely used and will require massive amounts of money to keep it going for it runs through unstable terrain (underground rivers and caves) that will make it necessary for constant maintenance. Only in Mexico.

As today December 15, the entire route. It’s open, including 4 Tren Maya hotels. (Kalakmul,Tulum, Chichén Itzá and Edzná) They’re offering packages from airport to hotels and archaeological sites… thank you for your video

How much was the cost from Mérida to Tulum airport station?

Is there WiFi on the train? Was hoping to do work and have access to internet while traveling from Merida to Cancun.

my mom and i had plans to there back in March... but she passed away in February,.. :( ... i was happy to see other people did make it with their mom.

Thanks for the review and to warn everybody to take the train after one year in operation. ridiculous that you need to take a bus from the Tulum airport station to the airport, as well also at all other station . They are very inconvenient located, typical Mexico to put up obstacles .

good show very informative i would say the cost to ride the train will go down in price within time give it 5 yrs today its expensive because the government spent enormous sums of money on the project so they need to generate as much as possible there much aware that's inaccesable to the locals but that will change in future

Hi , I recently ordered two devices: the Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Wireless Travel Router and the Opal (GL-SFT1200) Wireless Travel Router. However, I'm unsure how to set them up properly. Could you please provide some guidance or suggestions on how to configure these routers? Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your help!

Good vid...Hope I get to meet you next time I'm in Merida...lots of things in common with you...hit me up with a message...all my best, Mike

Tampa here. Loving your videos. I have planned a trip to Merida April 2025 for 10 days to research the pros and cons of the city. I already love the culture, learning my Espanol each day, and hoping the move will happen a year of so down the road. A big decision, a lot of planning, but so excited to make a move to a new city. Looking forward to your next video. Muchas gracias !

I pay $1.46 usd a day for Mexican health insurance as of 2025 so I have something to cover me in an emergency . There’s not that many private hospitals to my knowledge if you have an emergency , they are much better. You pay nothing else with Mexican health insurance , you will not receive a bill for anything. When I want to see a private DR quick it’s $2.50 usd. My DR owns the pharmacy so he doesn’t charge me anything .I try to tip him ever so often but he will not take it so I leave a box of cookies sometimes.

Where is periférico in Merida ? North or south of center?

Thanks for great video. We are looking for Air bnb in Merida which part of the city you recommend with good transportation to get to center? Thanks
