Those "environmentalists" never spoke out against Vulcan Materials 🇺🇲 "Calica", a US subsidiary company that destroyed 12 cenotes in an area of 100 hectares, currently Mexico sued that company causing irreversible damage to the ecosystem, worse than that registered with the Mayan Train. Damage that was allowed in complicity with those who now speak out against the Mayan Train for "damages"
@hanslarsen8113 For many Mayan communities, the Mayan train means communication, promotion of the local economy, promotion of entrepreneurship, for the benefit of the Yucatan Peninsula. 30 years ago, concessions were granted to Calica, a subsidiary of Vulcan Materials 🇺🇲 to extract limestone material and take it to the United States to build roads without infrastructure or other benefits for Mexico 🇲🇽. The worst thing is that those who recruited environmentalists against the Mayan train are the same ones who remained silent about the damage done by Vulcan. Which US congressmen own Vulcan Materials?
Sé que tienen que poner la parte "mala de el Tren Maya , pero hubiera estado bien que te informaras mejor,y no tomar información errónea y amarillista de el tren Maya. Es un gran proyecto, que traerá crecimiento al sureste mexicano.
This is the result of a peaceful revolution. Now, for feedback: since you mention the 2 million trees, to be fair and balanced, it should also be mentioned that the same government is responsible for the largest reforestation program in the world. Not a small task either. Other than that great video, like it a lot 🎉

It seems the only information you have is what you see in TV,. I won't spend time in explaining you all this project, but some of the things you mention are not correct. All the trees were replaced and more natural areas were declared as protected. The weird things is that no one mentions that Xcaret group and hotels destroyed a lot of green areas and they did not replaced anything, No one mentions that Calica (company from US) was destroying the jungle and taking our land to use as concrete in the streets of the US cities.

It was an attempt very recently for privatizing a big portion of Chapultepec park, (supported by certain opposition party) in order to build luxury real state there. Nobody saw those "environmentalist" complaining about it.
I think it is smart for Mexico to invest in Mexico. Your videos have shown that Mexico has much to offer! By the way, spotted that Bend sticker, I live in Bend, Oregon!
if you want to buy property i suggest somewhere near or directly in Valladolid... the next train station there are going to build is going from Merida where they started the video to Valladolid... so in the next couple of years that land will be worth a lot more.
..Just got back from Merida a few days ago. We thought about taking the train to Campeche but opted for the bus due to scheduling. Thanks for sharing your experience. We'll take it next time.
thanks for sharing the journey! train travel has become my preferred mode of getting around more and more. would really like to explore Mexico - it is such a stunning place with what seems like lovely welcoming people 👏
The “environmentalists” are so hypocritical. This was a spotless project, under their same premise, they will soon complain about all the train lines in Europe. This train is a great achievement, but dishonest people will always try to destroy what hard working people build.
Thank you for visiting my country and also thank you for the information. Yes, they cut like 2 million trees but they replanted 3 million trees back a some people were protesting about this train because they hate the president. They built this train with the money they used to steal that’s why they were angry and protesting.
Hello!... well you took the train, you are intelligent uoutubers heh... just clarify one point, regarding the supposed situation of the environmental problem, that was a campaign paid for and orchestrated by the national media bought by power groups economic with the purpose of attacking the government that just ended, the reality is different, 100 percent of the train or highway works around the world damage ecosystems, there is not a single one that does not do it, second in this work They took several mitigating measures, such as more than 300 wildlife crossings along the route, viaducts, planting millions of trees, creation of new natural reserves far and wide, (in fact almost a million hectares), etc., in addition 45 percent of the road already existed, it was already there... so don't believe everything you see in the media, have fun!
when you don't send money to foreign wars...you can literally build infrastructure for the people. side note. in mexican media they say the train is always empty
We are very sorry, Your Majesties, because there was a leak in the train. You have seen the train in New York ? It is a garbage dump and there are rats the size of cats. So ✌️
It was a fair critique and stuff like this needs to be called out so it can come to the attention of authorities and make our trains even better. We shouldn’t be so defensive about these things in my opinion.
Exactly. If it takes longer (including wait time and delays before boarding) and is more expensive than the bus, why bother? Just to say you took a train?
Yeah I wasn’t impressed as this is the first time I’ve seen them. There’s only two things I wanted to know price and time, which I found online but instead these people were advertising travel insurance. A cooky bunch….
Just checked online. From Merida to Cancun. Tren maya 3 hours 21 minutes 977 pesos ( plus getting to and from stations) Ado buses 4 hours 15 minutes 338 - 658 pesos Prices for international tourists. Buying your bus ticket one week in advance will cost you one third of the train.
Do you happen to know- If we were going from Merida to Cancun and wanted to get out at Chichen itza for awhile would we need to buy two tickets or just the one to Cancun?
Ohhh... that's a really good question! Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure. I would think you would need two different tickets because they are timed (each ticket is for a specific train time). That being said, the cost of tickets is greater the longer the route so my guess is that buying Mérida to Chichen Itza and Chichen Itza to Cancun vs. one complete route would be about the same price.

Isn’t it double the price of the ADO bus and takes twice as long? That’s what I heard. Waiting to be proven wrong. Haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary yet.
I am impressed to see such a bunch of LIES about this train: It had only brought destruction to the fragil ecosistems in Q. Roo. The worst part is that the project is usless , a year had passed and it is still EMPTY.
Things to keep in mind, 1- The Maya Train is not for Mayans, all the indigenous people do not have the money to take the train and there's no some kind of reduced price for them, discrimination. IS CRAZY! 2- Made by the Mexican army, the construction of this train has destroyed hundreds of CENOTES, there are videos and images all over the Internet! 3- They destroyed more than 7 million trees and plants, thousands of animals died, they did a huge scar to the jungle! 4- It is far from the towns and very often have failures and delays 5- The corruption on this proyect is disgusting, you can check that easily , actually the government hide the documentation for 5 years! No one can check that... Think twice when you plan your trip to the Peninsula!
These kind of projects are problematic because on the one hand they boost the economy but at the cost of the already battered environment. And Mexico has a long history of environmental destruction. It's rainforest has almost been wiped out.
No son de México y no opinen gringos expancionistas vulcan hizo una devastación en fin para intereses de la empresa y su pais lo cual la mitad fue nuestro territorio el tren maya es interés para todos los mexicanos 😡🇲🇽💪🏻

Most importantly, how long did it take from merida to cancun and what was the cost each person?
Exactly. If it takes longer (including wait time and delays before boarding) and is more expensive than the bus, why bother? Just to say you took a train?
Yeah I wasn’t impressed as this is the first time I’ve seen them. There’s only two things I wanted to know price and time, which I found online but instead these people were advertising travel insurance. A cooky bunch….
It is faster and cheaper going by bus. (The bus takes you from city center to city center)
Just checked online. From Merida to Cancun.
Tren maya 3 hours 21 minutes 977 pesos ( plus getting to and from stations)
Ado buses 4 hours 15 minutes 338 - 658 pesos
Prices for international tourists. Buying your bus ticket one week in advance will cost you one third of the train.

And how much faster than the coach bus.

Wondering where Krammer was?
Isn’t it double the price of the ADO bus and takes twice as long? That’s what I heard. Waiting to be proven wrong. Haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary yet.
It's meant to a relaxing tourist train, so not meant to be lightning fast, so don't take it if you're in a hurry I guess....
You’re really against the train, are you neoliberal or something?
For a local person, its cheaper than traveling by ado
Cool video
There are ADO buses from Cancun Train Staition to downtown i believe no more than 200 pesos.
