The Tren Maya Station in Playa Del Carmen is open, and the trains are running between Playa Del Carmen and the Cancun Airport. In this video we take you on a tour of the Tren Maya Station in Playa Del Carmen, we show you what the train is like between Playa Del Carmen, and we talk about the connection to the Cancun Airport. We will also talk about the general state of the Tren Maya now for March 2024 and details about taking the train.
Our experience in the Riviera Maya has been the past 15 years exploring and getting to know it. So we are able to give you a little more details of the area. We also have been working on other Tren Maya videos. This video is the 3rd in a series of videos about the Tren Maya. Since the train is so new, it is changing almost monthly, so we are updating readers and followers about the updates and new services of the Tren Maya.
For more of the details in this video, such as hours of the train, prices, parking, connections and more, see our article here: everythingplayadelcarmen.com/...

Keep in mind most of the trains are still getting built. The few running ones cannot reach their maximum speed, because the tracks need to settle first. Also, there is still a lot of construction going on and service will improve when everything it’s done. Let’s see this as a practice when everything is ready. Hopefully by the end of the year. Thanks for the info.

@danielcorona7532 3 месяца назад

You're right Sir

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 3 месяца назад

Right now, they only have 5 or 6 trains running and the others (there will be 42) trains are being built. The trains are stretched thin because they are in use all the time and if something goes wrong, there are no replacement. they are also running the diesel trains now because the electrical cables are not ready. So, there are a lot of things in the works still.

This is when it would be good if the Tren Maya had online customer service to give more details about policies. We have been contacting them for the past three months and never received a reply. The official policy is one bag 65cm x 55cm x35 cm and weighing up to 25kg. and one computer bag or purse. The tickets do say that excess baggage can be shipped by an external company. It seems like that would not be too strict on this policy coming from the airport, but as you saw in the video, imagine 24 people with a big bag and a carry-on fitting onto that half of the train car.

@justinskaggs9751 2 месяца назад

@@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom Yeah but not all the riders will have those big bags. I had little problems with big bags in Europe where they had bag storage areas and anyways trains getting crowded was just a part of life there, especially in places like Italy. Better to get somewhere uncomfortably rather than not at all, and better to have people actually ride the train than not at all

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 2 месяца назад

@@justinskaggs9751 We cannot imagine they will enforce too strictly, or they might revise the policy. I know what you mean about trains in Italy. I was on a packed train that has automatic sliding doors between cars, and it was so packed that the doors were held open by people up against them. The doors kept wanting to close. That went on for about an hour before there was enough people getting off. But it is true, when you want to get somewhere, it is better uncomfortable and get there then not sometimes.

The Tren Maya does need to visit their policies, but the main thing right now is the limited three trains a day from the airport to Playa Del Carmen. This will be better in the future, but for now, it is very limited.

Thanks for the video. Bummer on the luggage rule. I was stoked to ride it on the way to the airport next month.

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 2 месяца назад

We do not think it will be enforced very strickly but at any rate, the bigger issue is the limited number of trains per day between the airport and Playa Del Carmen. Currently there are only three trains and that makes it hard to line up a flight arrival with one of three trains. The route south of Playa Del Carmen has been delayed until August, so that means there probably will not be more trains operating on this route for a while.

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 3 месяца назад

Even if the train can get the time down to half an hour, it will be longer than taking the ADO bus. There still is the option with private transfers that are not taxis. This is what we recommend most of the time since it is door to door service and many of the hotels are not near the bus station in Playa.

We have been out riding the rails sort of speaking and we have found some good things and some disappointing things. Our last trip on the train lefts us at the station waiting and then taking a bus back because the train stopped working. They keep saying it is in "pre opening" stage but at some point, everything should work better.

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 3 месяца назад

We use that term for several reasons. One of the types of tickets is nationals, but not those that live in the 5 states where the train passes. If we used Mexicans or citizens, it would not be correct. Also, how Spanish is phased and how it is translated at times, this term comes up. We honestly have never thought anything about it and just use it because it seems to be the best description. We hope you were not offended or thought anything else from the use of that term.

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 2 месяца назад

There are under passes for animals also for farmers that have underpasses for farm animals. Both sides of the tracks have wire fences about 7 feet tall. Some portions, like the one from Cancun Airport to Playa Del Carmen, is mostly built 5 meters above ground on columns with very open space underneath. This is not ideal, but how it is. There is also the 305 Highway from Playa Del Carmen to Nuevo Xcan that was newly built. It also has underpasses and spider monkey bridges. We believe we have also seen spider Monkey bridges on the Tren Maya, but we are not sure. Thesa are the facts. However, we have been consistent with our articles and videos to mention some of the negative things and positive we had concern when the project started and during the time until now. This video is more about how the train works between these two locations and not a full back story to the project and construction.

The designers of the Tren Maya have the collective intelligence of a traffic cone. An express toll highway (Cuota) parallel to 307 and along the coasts would have been a much more efficient solution to relieving congestion and improving tourism to these areas.

@EverythingPlayaDelCarmencom 2 месяца назад

Originally the train was going to follow the 307 Highway. they had even cut trees and were starting site work. Then the plan changed. Part was discrepancies with the construction company. We have seen firsthand many things that prevent the Tren Maya from taking off and being more effective for transportation. We still have some hopes for the Tren Maya but it is even more delayed now for the full route. Our predictions from two years ago are coming true.

To be fair there are bags allowed but there are restrictions. The sizes are basically carryon and a computer bag or purse. We cannot imagine at the airport the Tren Maya being very strict with this, but we also feel that some of the policies of the Tren Maya need to be flushed out. We have been trying to contact the Tren Maya for three months now and never have we gotten a response. There are other questions about policies, but most likely as things move forward will things be fully explained.
