    Thanks for showing how the Mayan Train works. By the way! It is interesting how they claim that the train Mayan is destroying the eco system, and yet the environmentalists never mention Vulcan (US mining company) or the out of control construction in resort areas like Cancun or Playa del Carmen

      Hi, were you here 30 or so years ago when Vulcan was at its peak ?, I was, yes there were complaints from enviromentalists but with a corrupt government it went ahead, same with Maya Train, judges issued a stop work order and the president ignored it,, corruption is everywhere and that is dangerous to build a public transport train. Same for the construction in the whole area, and again, corruption. Having the military in charge is no difference, military is as corrupt or even more. What Vulcan did to the environment is peanuts compared to the damage done on the construction of the train, search it, 30 times worse, but is not ending there the damage will be permanent and progressive . The steel jacket that covers the columns is iron, oxidizing and contaminating the pristine waters of the subterranean rivers.

      Hola David, 🙏
      Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! Definitely, there have been thousands of hectares destroyed to build resorts and hotels in the area. We need to be more open that projects like this one, will have an environmental impact no matter what, it is sad that they did not do it properly as it is sad what they have done for the cenotes. Well the purpose of our video was 99% to show the function of this project. Thank you again for watching and commenting. 🫶

      Also more than 85% was already on federal area already assigned to be used for roads or electrification beside the existing highways , that means there was no nature already in this area, plus only the tramo 5 was really impacting, and is funny they complain about it, and when they did the new highway GDL to Puerto Vallarta destroying more nature, everybody was celebrating to get in 2 hrs 45 minutes instead 4 hours 30 minutes. and no claim about nature, plus as you mentioned, resorts in Cancun and Calica the amercan mining company which destroyed a lot, really a lot of nature

      Just a comment....back in the 60s CAN CUN was a village of 300 people and nobody complained about the destruction when hotels, highways, parks , schools , avenues , restaurants, and the jungle was destroyed....THE OPPOSITION to Lopez Obrador is actually the one started with this cheap politics about the maya train ......also nobody talk about Black rock destroying thousands of acres mining and destroying the jungle without any benefit for the locals....but themselfs . on the other hand this administration is providing hundreds of thousands jobs for the whole riviera maya locals..that's a big difference , at the end of the day the benefit is greater than the concerned some complained about it. !!

      Sorry to spoil it, things are not pumping, a very very conservative party just won not only the presidency but the whole congress, things in Mexico that we achieve in decades will roll back, many analysts are calling it BACK TO THE FUTURE. Government is eroding the 3 essential government levels, specially the judges, they plan to elect whomever judge they seem fit. Due to that notice the USD jumped in 5 days from 16.70 to 18.50 as of now. That is good news to US travelers. I left Mexico 34 years ago and very eager to retire there, but things are not looking good with the new government Crime is at its higuest and will be worse.

    From Playa del Carmen at 2:50 AM, the butt crack of dawn, boarding a train from Cancun to Merida for a three hour ride, that’s actually quite nice. I really think the investment in that train will be an incredible return for Mexico. I have always loved Mexico and wanted to retire there, but I think I’ll just buy a home there to visit.

      Sorry to ruin your toughts, Tulum Airport is shorter, yes, about 1 hour shorter BUT as of now there is little public transport and taxis will rip you off. THERE IS NO UBER, taxi owners who are the government officials do not allow ubers, they will loose a lot of business. Search facts before you go

    • @ForTheRoadTravels
      @ForTheRoadTravels  2 месяца назад

      Yes, it is a great option to have another airport in Tulum. Yes we are excited for the opening of all the routes. This train will be good for the locals but as well for the tourism, but we are happy that locals have preferred rates. We are preparing a written blog post with more details, and explain what we could not shared in our video.

    I think the train turned into a destination instead of being a means of transport. If you are already in Playa del Carmen at the ADO station, it is cheaper, and it is faster to take a bus to Mérida. Instead of having to take 3 buses and the train to get to the center of Mérida. I think that’s why there is little influx of people on the train.

    • @FRANCISCOORTEGA-ih1wn
      @FRANCISCOORTEGA-ih1wn 2 месяца назад +2

      Good to mention. as of today train schedules rarely go on schedule, many times train has stopped and passengers are forced to continue the trip on buses if you are lucky, a refund ? good luck. Search for the negative posts not just the ones that makes it look wonderful, it is not. ADO is way faster, cheaper and safer.

    • @ForTheRoadTravels
      @ForTheRoadTravels  2 месяца назад +1

      Hola Abel,
      Yes, ADO would have been more convinient, we wanted to try the train that's why the had to commute very early in order to do this trip. We believe they will be working on more routes and timeslots.

      Yes, seems they were doing the final details on the Mayan Train, we believe the night trains would be amazing to commute to the longest routes. As far as we know there are only the normal wagons as shown in the video operating so far. Absolutely, there are not many routes available, we believe there will be more and will help to have more options to depart even from PDC. 🙏🙏
