Current situation of multimodal transport in Mexico
The current problems of this subsector are:
Lack of adequate infrastructure: Since the terminals
existing do not provide the technological and logistical support that a transportation system
it needs to function as such.
Operational inefficiencies: They are those that were not previously
planned and designed, in most cases are insufficient to carry out
efficient way.
Inefficient institutional relationships: There is no framework
institutional that allows integration and besides the evident lack of coordination
