Is there good bus service in Yucatan: Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Merida, etc.?

Yucatan has a lot of buses. We have a great bus system called the ADO Bus that you could take to any of the cities around here or make an airport run.  They’re big, large air-conditioned buses with movies, comfortable seats, with bathroom that are very inexpensive. The airport run (about a 40 minute ride) will cost you less than $10 and you can take a bus from here in Playa del Carmen to Merida, and from here to all the major cities and all the way to Mexico City.

And then we have city buses, which I don’t go on.  They drive fast, they pack in as many people as they possibly can and it’s just a bundle of confusion.  They’re cheap. It will cost a couple of pesos to go on a city bus, perhaps around 15 to 20 cents.

A good bus service in Yucatán is the combi. Combi’s are public transportation that are really safe, cheap, and can hold up to 12 people. With combi’s, there is a chauffeur to drive you back and forth. From Tulum going to Playa del Carmen, you will only pay 42 pesos ($2).

Combi’s are really safe ways to travel and have designated stops where you can get off. For example, if you take a combi from Tulum to the north, it has a designated stop in Tulum, in Akumal, then in Porta Aventura, in Playa del Carmen, and finally in Cancun. It depends on which place you want to get off.

 

One of the advantages of the combi is it stays on the federal highway, and there’s not a lot of distance generally from the federal highway to where you need to go. It’s a narrow space.
