ADO Belize Mexico Bus Schedule

Autotransportes De Oriente (ADO) has provided the following bus schedule for their runs between Belize and Mexico. ADO links Belize and Mexico’s southern Yucatan Peninsula with economical first class rapid transit runs.

This service introduced in late 2011 has become popular with travelers who use Cancun as an air hub into and out of Belize to achieve substantial savings over the regular air fares on flights originating in North America.

The bus runs connect to Cancun, Merida and points in between including Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. Merida is not only a major commercial and tourist destination, but also has several tertiary medical care centers used by Belizeans.

UPDATE: A Belizean-American recently wrote an excellent trip report on the ADO Bus To Belize. Check it out to see what to expect on this run.

We have more information on how to buy tickets. At this time ADO does not have a terminal or permanent presence in Belize. This is in the works. A lady who did a recent trip says:

“Here are the details.  The representative arrives each evening at the Belize City bus station from 5 to 7 pm only.  When I arrived at 4.15, another gringo couple was there too.  You can buy tickets up to 7 days in advance at this kiosk during this time period.

“At about 5.15, the rep showed up and about 8 people scurried in front of me on line.  The process is very slow and very manual.  If you are there first, I suggest you line up at the kiosk before 5 pm to make sure you are first to be ticketed.  It takes about 10 minutes for each ticket to be processed and you get an assigned seat.  But 6.15pm, I had my ticket.  You pay BZ $10. at the counter and the rest of your fare (mine was another $69, Tulum and Playa are cheaper) when you cross over the Mexican border.”

You need to be ready to board 15 minutes before you bus leaves.

This Belize Mexico bus schedule will be updated on a regular basis. Belizean and expat travelers using the service are encouraged to post their comments and any updates they may come across. Your input is highly appreciated. Updated 3 October 2012.
