Taxi or bus?
Bus vs taxi in Limassol: real costs, real journey times, and the three situations where the bus genuinely wins.
| Situation | The bus | Mao Taxi Express | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limassol seafront hop | €1.50 pp | €30–35 per car | Bus, if you're not in a hurry |
| To Larnaca Airport | €9 pp + 2 connections | €85 per car | Taxi if 2+ people or any luggage |
| Late night (after 21:00) | Almost nothing running | Same price as daytime | Taxi, no contest |
| Troodos or the wine villages | Not realistically served | €75–95 per car | Taxi |
| Four people to the airport | €36 total, 2h+, 2 changes | €85 total, 55 min, direct | Taxi, and it's close |
The verdict, without spin
Take the bus along the seafront in daylight. Take a taxi for the airport, for luggage, for groups, and after about 21:00.
We are a taxi service and we have just told you when not to use a taxi. That is deliberate: a company that pretends it is the right answer to every question is not a company you should trust with a 4am airport run.
Where a taxi is the answer, the argument is not really about price — it is about certainty. The car is there. The fare is known. The flight is tracked. Every one of our fares is published before you ask for it, which is the part that makes the comparison above possible at all.
