Maya Tren megaproject in Mexico is set to begin operation in December 2023. The Mexican Government recently awarded a contract to supply 42 rolling stock for the project to the Alstom consortium. The consortium is delivering the first train for Maya Train in 24 months. The project owner for the fourth section of the Maya Train, Ingenieros Civiles Asociados has also secured funding for the implementation phase.

With an investment value of over US$1.54 billion, the megaproject will have 1,525 kilometers of railway track which will connect southeast Mexico to Yucatan Peninsula. 19 stations are planned along the way with stations in cities such as Mérida, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum.

Idea Studio and Project & Calc are hired by the government to develop designs for the stations along the route from Cancun to Toulom. The design of the station will have an open roof structure with a perforated ceiling erected using steel structures and glass-reinforced concrete panels. The construction of stations is scheduled to begin in January 2022 and expected to be finished by June 2023.
