Cancun’s New Maya Train Station  

Cancun has one new Maya Train station that is located on the Cancun Airport property.  This is the only Maya Train station in Cancun.   

Visitors who want to use the Maya Train, whether upon arrival or at a later date during their trip, will have to get to this station.    

The Cancun Maya Train station operates as the train’s headquarters and is the largest station within the project.   

@uhmaymahana Así se verá terminada la estación del #TrenMaya en Cancún será la más grande del proyecto ferroviario que unirá destinos #turísticos y sitios #arqueológicos del sureste de #México, permitiendo la movilización de más de 30millones de pasajeros al año. Aquí confluyen dos trazos: el 4, que conectará a Cancún con Izamal, en el estado de #Yucatán, y el 5, que va de esta ciudad a #PlayadelCarmen, en el estado de #QuintanaRoo. La estación se encontrará conectada al #AeropuertoInternacionaldeCancún, y será la más grande pues contará con 10 andenes, ofreciendo una gran conectividad a los viajeros. También se proyecta la aplicación de 12 programas #ambientales para mitigar el impacto en la zona, considerando tener el primer vivero en #Cancún y posteriormente uno en cada estación, de tal manera que se logre reubicar la flora retirada para la construcción del #tren. En cuanto a la seguridad, de acuerdo con estudios del Centro Nacional de Prevención de Desastres (#Cenapred), los trenes que se utilizarán podrán resistir vientos de un huracán categoría 5, permitiendo trasladar a ciudadanos y visitantes a estaciones cercanas. Según las proyecciones, se prevee concluir a finales de este año. Todo esto incrementa en #MAHANÁUhMay el ROI + Exclusividad 📈 y un diseño en armonía con la #ecología, incluyendo todos los lujos y detalles que el alto diseño arquitectónico exige.

Getting To The Maya Train Station From The Airport 

Thanks to the close proximity of the Maya Train station to Cancun Airport, getting to the station upon arrival is quick, simple, and free.   

Transfers from the airport to the train station will be provided by electric minibuses.   

The trip, which will include stops at each terminal, will take only about 20 minutes.

How To Get To The Maya Train Station From Cancun  

Getting to the Maya Train station from Cancun’s Hotel Zone or the downtown area will be a little bit trickier, but there are a couple of options.   

There’s always the option of taking a taxi, but taxis are expensive in Cancun.   

The better option is taking the ADO bus service, which has been set to operate as a transfer service for the Maya Train station.

Everything You Need To Know About ADO Transfers  

There are two areas in Cancun where you can catch an ADO bus that will take you to the ADO bus station in Cancun Airport.   

From there, you’ll then be able to be transferred to the Maya Train station.   

The location of the transfer stops are downtown Cancun at Plaza Las Americas and at Kabah and Lopez Portillo Avenues in the center of town.   

Tickets for these transfers will cost around $7 and can be purchased at the ADO stations and the Maya Train station.  The service will be offered multiple times every day.

Taking A Taxi To Get To The Cancun Maya Train Station 

A taxi can be a convenient way to get from downtown Cancun or the Hotel Zone to the Maya Train station, but as mentioned before, it’s also not cheap.   

A one-way ride to Cancun Airport by taxi can cost as much as $65.   

This is about what you can expect to pay to get to the Maya Train station too.

Using Private Transportation To Get To The Maya Train Station 

Another option for getting to the Maya Train station is using a private transfer service.   

Private transfers are as much as, if not more, than a taxi but are typically more comfortable and more professional.   

There are many private transfer services available that will pick you up wherever you need to be picked up.

The Future Of The Maya Train Project 

The Maya Train project may not be complete yet, but it won’t be long before it is fully operational.   

Officials say it will be February before all sections and stations are open.   

Only time will tell if this goal is reached, and everyone can really start taking advantage of all the Maya Train offers.
