bus station

Now Rick, before you start yelling at me to use the search function.....I did. I am also computer illiterate:....so how's about ya help me out here?
My question is.....is there any way I can get dropped off at the new station on 20th avenue, between 12th y 14th?? I will most likely be getting in after dark on sunday...and I have never been to the apartment I rented before. It's on 26th y 10th so it would be much easier to get to from the new station. I don't know who exactly uses it because we've never stopped there on the way to the airport or coming to Playa. Is it just for decorative purposes???
Thank you....

Penny, I don't believe that bus will stop there . I think it has to come from Cancun Centro . I could be wrong.

ADO (airport to Playa) bus only lets off passengers at Juarez Ave. bus station. Best bet is to that a cab from there to rental apartment. The bus station on Av 20 between 12th and 14th streets has different bus lines from GL to 2nd class that travel to many different cities in Mexico therefore it is not for decoration.

Oye, chica! That station gets plenty of use, but I don't know if they get any airport action. If you are getting in late, take a cab. No point in hoofing it with bags in tow. Save your energy for other things.

Speaking of the bus; does anyone know if they run from the airport after 9pm? We're scheduled to land at 9:10 so hoping to run out those doors before 10! I think I read somewhere the last one leaves the airport at 8:45... Has anyone ever used gray line for transfers??

more bus questions

Our flight arrives very early in the morning on a Saturday. I understand the first bus leaving the airport is at 10:30am. Don't want to wait around that long and don't want to pay for an expensive transfer. Do buses run from the airport into downtown Cancun and then catch a bus to Playa from there? Is this difficult to do? Where would the buses be parked at the airport for going into downtown Cancun? Is it ADO or Rivera or a different bus company? Hope someone can help with suggestions or know some answers. Thanks.
