Rail transport in Mayotte?

Rail transport in Mayotte? - Underground Train Railway

Google Maps shows "Mayotte Light Rail" and "Mayotte Underground Lte Raiway Station" (sic) near Mamoudzou, in Mayotte.

On the other hand, Wikipedia says there are no railways at all on the island.

Which one is true? If there any railway, can it be used for person transport, with what stations?



Best Answer

First you probably noticed the only review, mentioning it is a desert place.

Also, we can look at OpenStreetMap and see that there is most likely nothing, even though the track that arrives at that point is better shown in Google Maps satellite view (and we cannot see any trace of railway on this view).

A google search gives a unique result that seems to just parse information from Google Maps.

So to summarize, I suppose some wrong information was filled in Google Maps, there is likely no railway (even underground as Google Maps suggests) in this area.
