“We are not even operating at 100 percent,”, declared the General Director of the Mayan Train.
After being questioned about the operation of the Mayan Train on its first day open to the public, its director, General Óscar David Lozano, said that it is logical that failures or irregularities occur at the beginning since it is part of the “normal” in this type of means of transport.
“It is normal, remember that I told you that it is ‘pre-opening’, we are not operating with all the functionalities at one hundred percent, so what it’s about here is living the experience” He declared, during an interview held at the Mérida-Teya station, after the first train with passengers arrived at this point.
Due to the first users’ reporting of failures in electrical or technological issues, the official compared these mishaps with what, in his words, usually happens with airplanes.
“Let’s see, you get on a plane, you press something and it fails and no one says anything. I think it’s a matter of getting used to it” sentenced.
Finally, the General of the Secretary of National Defense assured that this type of transportation does not need seat belts and that it is a matter of time before the “details” are resolved.
