Mexico’s Maya train: Rail project completed ahead of schedule

One of the biggest and most controversial infrastructure projects in Mexico's recent history has been completed ahead of schedule.

The first passengers boarded the Maya Train, a $20 million megaproject championed by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Getting the project to this point has been challenging.

Al Jazeera’s Julia Galiano reports from Mexico City.

Congratulations Mexio. You deserve the right to developing your country. ❤

Congratulations to Mexico from South Africa. The US can learn from their neighbour in the South, the value of modernizing a country's infrastructure...and perhaps help the US with their nuclear infrastructure projects that are behind schedule 😜

Despite the protests of civic organizations paid by the United States, Mexico achieved a great feat by finishing this great work of communication.

Very strange that I don't hear environmentalists talk about the destruction that the Vulcan calica company did in the Mayan jungle

[MarcinMoka]

Bravo Mexico! If only the United States could follow your lead. As per the environment, yet it required some clearing of jungle, but the reduction in polluting car & bus usage will be worth it alone.

[Karlaitzell]

Most of Mexicans 75% approve the government of AMLO because has brought development to our country, we all Mexicans deserve it and we won’t let the neoliberalism came back ever again. We won’t take a step back. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤

Eso de la contaminacion y daños es mentira las vias del tren ya estaban alli antes de que privatizaran los trenes de México a dos compañias americanas y destrozaron todo como lo saben hacere😢

[tomascastillo]

This is the most complex project in the world today. +1550 kms and +28 billion dollars. Will conect the maya riviera with the local towns and +70 archaelogical sites. Beautiful project.

¡Me es emocionante! Dejando a lado lo politizado que está el tren maya, me gustaría subirme y disfrutar la experiencia (soy de México, no pretendo ofender a nadie). 🇲🇽❣️

80% of mexicans are very happy and proud of our president! We support all the great projects he's doing, of course it's not finished yet, but very soon we'll be enjoying this exciting travel!
