The Campeche Light Rail (Spanish: Tren Ligero de Campeche) is an under-construction Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) line which will connect the historic center of San Francisco de Campeche with its airport and its Tren Maya station.[2][3] It was originally planned to be a light rail line, but to save time and costs, it is now being built as an ART guided bus.[4]

The project was expected to be completed by August 2024,[5][6] although Blas Andrés Núñez, the head of the Operations Coordination Center of the Tren Maya (Spanish: Centro Coordinador de Operaciones del Tren Maya), announced that the start of operations of the Light Rail would be April 2025.[7]
