Cancun, Q.R. — The Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SICT) says Cancun’s new road projects will include electric minibuses that will connect the airport with the Maya Train station.
The head of SICT, Jorge Nuño Lara, announced that the new Cancun projects being built by the SICT, the Nichupté Vehicular Bridge, Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard, Airport Distributor and Chac Mool Avenue, will include an electric bus system to connect the four terminals of the Cancun International Airport with the Maya Train station.
He says the electric vehicle will stop at each of the four airport terminals via internal roads that will surround the terminal. He added that the Maya Train station in Cancun and the airport will be connected in a circuit that will take less than 20 minutes via the electric minibus.
The electric minibus, which will have a seating capacity of 24, will travel at an average speed of 30 kms/h with a range of 268 kilometers. He says they anticipate a maximum of 14,400 users per day and that the buses are estimated to be ready in five months.
