Why a Shared Shuttle Can Be Better Than the ADO Bus
The ADO bus is one of the most popular ways to get from the Cancun Airport to Playa Del Carmen and a few other points in the Riviera Maya. Many take the bus to get to and from the airport to start their vacations, but you might want to consider a shared shuttle for a few reasons.
The ADO bus is about $12-$15 USD (depending on the exchange rate) one way from the Cancun Airport to Playa Del Carmen for example. Once you arrive to the bus station on Juarez Avenue and 5th Avenue you need to figure out how to get to your hotel. Most people use a taxi to finish off the final leg of their trip. Taxis are not metered but at taxi stands there are listed prices. Since you will be getting a taxi from a taxi stand, prices a little hire because the drivers wait for passengers rather than pick up people on the street.
If your hotel is outside of the downtown or even just outside of Playa Del Carmen, you might end up paying $15-$25 USD for a taxi. Not only does this add costs but adds time to your trip from the airport to your hotel.
Overall, the shared shuttles can be a good option to get to and from the Cancun Airport.
