Passenger train alone not profitable: Authorities say cargo service will be fundamental to Tren Maya success - Riviera Maya News
Riviera Maya, Q.R. -- Cargo will be a fundamental component in the financial success of the Maya Train says the company's’ director.riviera-maya-news.com
Well, not now but it was originally about people until they realized passenger rail isn't profitable.
"Last month, President Claudia Sheinbaum launched construction of the freight infrastructure for the Maya Train which will allow this rail system to transport passengers and goods with the goal of strengthening the development of southeastern Mexico."
"Brigadier General Alejandro Gómez Vargas, head of the Maya Train’s Coordination, Delivery and Reception Center, said that the cargo service will begin in 2026".
This statement also illustrates that the projects are separate.
"We’re interested in boosting the cargo coming through the Trans-Isthmian corridor, and if we can join forces with the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railway, we’ll surely generate business for the rest of the companies,” he said.
