This Gas Penínsular truck delivers natural gas in Izamal. Although this town has 40,000 people, there are few motor vehicles.

Instead, the local residents use calesas (horse- or bike-drawn carriages), walk, or ride a bike to get around town.

Almost everyone has access to metered electricity in Izamal.
