Getting To Pisté By Bus. Hours can vary slightly by season

How do I Check for bus service to/from Pisté and Chichen Itza?
Go to the www.ado.com.mx website to check for first class service. Depending on where you want to go, you will need to use either "Piste" or "Chichen Itza" in the flip down menu. For example Cancun buses dont go to Piste they go to Chichen Itza and Merida buses go to both Piste and Chichen Itza. In other words, if you end up with no bus service in your search for the schedule try a different name location! There are buses in and out of Piste and Chichen Itza EVERYDAY of the year from every major location on the entire Peninsula.

Bus service from Pisté and Chichen Itza to Mérida
From Pisté you can get 2nd class Oriente buses every hour to Merida (1.5 hours away) or to Valladolid (50 mins). The first bus toward Merida is 6am, the last one is 1pm. The first bus toward Cancun is 7am and the last one is about 3am. There are two First class ADO buses from Piste/Chichen to Merida. One is at about 2:15pm the othe at 5:15. These are for tourists leaving Chichen for Merida, but you can board the bus in Piste at either bus station (downtown or by Hotel Piramide Inn). Buy your ticket early because the tourists will not buy them until the last minute.

Bus service from Pisté and Chichen Itza to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum
From Pisté to Cancun there are 2 direct 1st class buses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
