Playa del Carmen is a railway station in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. The station allows transport and tourism to Playa del Carmen with other parts of the Yucatán Peninsula. On 29 February 2024, the station was officially opened. However, the line it is on did not enter service until two weeks later, so the first passengers to the station arrived on 15 March 2024.[3][4][2]

Currently the station does not have public transport routes, but there is the option of taking a taxi from the center of Playa del Carmen that charges about 100 Mexican pesos.[5] There is a planned shuttle bus service, called the Conexión Intermodal Tren Maya, that will connect to the bus terminal and tourist sites of Playa del Carmen.[6]
