In the first half of 2026 alone, it recorded losses of 5,130 million pesos, compared to 4,810 million pesos for the entire year of 2025. Daily operational losses have averaged around 27.7 million pesos over the reported period. From its launch until June 2026, the train has accumulated total expenses and losses of 14,104 million pesos, with 11,878 million pesos attributed solely to operations. Revenue from passenger services and other offerings has been minimal, amounting to just 1,600 million pesos, only 7.5% of total expenditures. The project’s overall construction and operational costs have exceeded 558 billion pesos, with each transported passenger costing approximately 209,365 pesos. In response to these losses, the Mexican Defense Secretariat awarded Mextypsa, S.A. de C.V. a contract worth 17.347 million pesos to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and develop a strategic plan for the Tren Maya between 2026 and 2030.
