The emblematic work of the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Maya Train, presents a failure on average once every three days; This has been the case during its first two months of operation, according to the company that operates the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).
From December 16, the day the first public tour took place, to February 19, 2024, 22 anomalies have been registered in the provision of the Mayan Train service, which means one failure every three days.
According to a report from Latinus, this information was obtained through a request on the National Transparency Portal.
From the first day the railway was inaugurated (even though the work was incomplete), there are dozens of social networks testimonies from those affected, in addition to the derailment on Monday, March 25, in the middle of the Semana Santa holiday season.

Siguen las fallas del Tren Maya.
De acuerdo a una investigación de Loret de Mola en Latinus, el tren tiene una falla cada 3 días.
Son datos oficiales del mismo gobierno, aunque no quisieron especificar el tipo de falla.

Otro FRACASO más de la 4T.. pic.twitter.com/FOMbXjxfFo
The report that the Maya Train fails every three days, according to Sedena documents, does not seem to cause news, as users have recorded several videos as evidence of various anomalies that they have experienced.
The most frequent failures are interruptions and delays in service, lack of air conditioning, or deficiencies in internet service during tours; in addition to operational problems when purchasing tickets on the official website.
But of course, the most serious of all is the derailment of a car on March 25.
Although the route from Palenque to Playa del Carmen is currently in operation, the infrastructure work is not finished, so construction works continue in all the stations at a forced pace.
Added to the list of frequent inconveniences is the litigation in Section 5 South where a judge ordered the suspension of the work due to environmental damage; However, the judge’s order has not been complied with.
