So then they jump twice as hard on the next person to come out wearing red? That seems nice of you. Why not just keep walking?
Oh come on. That was funny in a twisted sort of way.

Haha easy for some. Not for some of us, but on the last trip - the van filled up with luggage before it packed people like sardines so we left early and not cramped. Loved it.Taxi's have been prohibited from picking up at the airport for a LONG time. This is nothing new. If you want a taxi just walk out to the roundabout and wait for one, it won't take long.
Yeah, it's still $5 minimum. Some will walk the mile, but other have other uses for their time and energy. The union that runs the vans and taxis won't ever allow bicycle rentals I bet.It been over a year since I've been there, but I doubt much has changed. $8 for a shuttle is not much, even if they don't go far. That is my biggest complaint... transportation costs are absurd. Ohh well, in the scheme of things paying $5 to go 1 mile is not going to break the bank... but IMO that is a pricey mile run.
Cute. I just tell them to move or else. I wonder if they remember me now, as they seem to move out of my way faster.When I run the gauntlet. I tell the time share gents that my wife has all of the money, is wearing a red blouse, is right behind me, and she was talking about buying some property on the way down...
My wife does not even own any red clothing.
The shuttle van costs $8. Yes, you could get a taxi for $5 if not going further south than say...Hotel Coz maybe...but that $3 isn't going to cause me any real grief. Sure, you are in a van full of people instead of a taxi by yourself, but I have met some of the coolest people in those vans...and the ride is a few minutes so I don't really mind it. When you walk through the doors after the red light/green light turn right and go 30 feet to the last booth on the left. Says shuttle or van or some such thing on it. Typically two friendly girls behind the counter and they sell the van tickets. Ignore the time share guys. Coz is a foreign land and things are different here than in the states. Celebrate the differences, even if they are cheezy...there are plenty of tourism ripoffs in the states, especially in my home town...Orlando, where you are. You know this to be true. If you travel in a family pack of five, the math certainly works differently but then you could just walk out to the circle and wait for a cab, in the sun....
Now...off to find some chicken tacos!

Sure, it's funny to talk about, but actually doing it would not be funny at all for the red clothes person.
The Cozumel airport shuttles have been an institution for many years, and I don't have a problem with them. The infrastructure at the airport would not handle the load well if all those people had to be ferried away in cabs; the mob scene would be much worse than it is now. The shuttle is a bit more expensive than a cab would be if you are traveling with a group (if you are alone it's about the same), but the difference isn't that much, comparatively speaking.
If you knew about the timeshare folks, how come you didn't know about the shuttles? Just about any thread about coming into CZM by air mentions them both.
