In the same way that Mexico City, Campeche will have its own Light Train, which will circulate within its homonymous capital. The new electric transport system is part of the mobility strategy that will complement the Mayan Train.
Although there is still no date for its inauguration, it is known that it will have an investment of 5 billion pesos. For its construction, new tracks will not be enabled, since it will run along the old train tracks of San Francisco in Campeche.
In this regard, the governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores, announced that the wagons will be hybrid, which will allow the Light Train to also run with tires and magnets. The transport will be similar to the IE-TRAM of Yucatan, which stands out for its technology.
Although the route has not been revealed, the president also reported in her weekly program “El martes del jaguar” that the Campeche Light Train will mobilize people from the Mayan Train station, since it was not possible to build the terminal closer to the capital. Likewise, the transport will pass through several neighborhoods, the Historic Center area and will also arrive at the airport.
Regarding the characteristics, Sansores mentioned that the Light Train will have air conditioning and state-of-the-art technology. Its financing will be carried out with funds from the federal government.
