Tren Maya is a railway serving southeastern Mexico across Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán. It connects cities and tourism destinations through a network that also includes airport stations. The railway is operated by Tren Maya, S.A. de C.V., a state-majority company assigned to the defence sector.
The operator's passenger website lists stations and provides access to ticket Booking. Its institutional programme treats passenger transport and freight development as distinct parts of the railway's role. Passenger services provide an additional means of travelling between destinations across the region, while plans for freight concern a separate operating activity. The physical railway and the company responsible for operating it have related but different identities.
