Chetumal, Q.R. — All seven routes for the 1,554 kilometers of Tren Maya are up and running. On December 15, 2024 President Claudia Sheinbaum inaugurated the remaining two circuits in the state’s capital city of Chetumal.
On Sunday, President Sheinbaum, along with dignitaries including state governor Mara Lezama, inaugurated sections 6 and 7. With the inauguration, all 1,554 kilometers of the circuit is now open.
The Tren Maya project, which was started by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, took four years to complete. The Sunday inauguration took place in front of Chetumal Bay and was attended by the governors through which the Maya Train runs.
“Thus, we can firmly and clearly assure that we continue in a process of profound transformation, which comes with the loading stations of the Maya train, in that political institutional transformation, but also above all in a moral transformation, in a way of governing that I have decided to call the New Agreement for the Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo,” Lezama emphasized during her speech Sunday.
President Sheinbaum reiterated that the Maya Train does social justice and is with and for the communities of the southeastern region of the country.
Sheinbaum announced the construction of the Mexico – Nuevo Laredo and Mexico – Nogales trains. “The Maya Train is a symbol of the Fourth Transformation of public life in Mexico and starting October 1st, we are building the second stage. We will expand it with the cargo train and we will connect it with the interoceanic train.”
“The Maya train tells the world, so it can be heard clearly and far away, that Mexicans come from far away, but we also go far with hope in our hearts and the pride of the cultural greatness that gives us identity that sustains Mexican humanism,” she said.
