Randy M.
We bought the correct tickets to the Cancun Airport - Terminal 3, however, the e-tickets just said “Cancun” so the driver would not allow us on the bus. The line up was ridiculous to have the ticket corrected - so we had to take a taxi to the Cancun Airport.

The Centro bus was never called so it was not known to me where the bus was loading. I was informed that it left and I had to buy another ticket. Another couple had the same experience. As it was a small bus and parked beyond the big buses, I had no idea it was there. It wasn't on the board or called out by the lead bus man
