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 Jazeeras Julia Galiano reports from Mexico City.
On December 15th, 2023, the brand new intercity railway in Mexicos Yucatán Peninsula opened. First announced by President Lopez Obrador in 2018, this new railway is now partially open - but it has been anything but smooth. Tren Maya is a source of much controversy, because it neglects and even destroys ancient burial grounds, archaeological sites, the rainforest, and important water sources. Find out what it is like to ride this new train, why some people are happy with it, and why some are not.
