Compare airport shuttle costs.
Airport transfer pricing splits into per-person and per-vehicle models, and the party size decides which wins. A shared shuttle charges each traveller, so its total scales linearly — excellent for a solo traveller, poor for a family of four. A private transfer or taxi is a flat vehicle fare regardless of occupancy, so it gets cheaper per head with every passenger. The crossover is usually at two to three people. Also weigh the time: a shared shuttle typically makes several hotel stops, adding 30 to 60 minutes, which is why the cheapest option is not always the right one for an early flight.
Airport Shuttle Cost
Shared shuttle = passengers x per-person fare x legs; private transfer = flat fare x legs; taxi = metered fare x legs; cheapest = min of the three
Usually at three passengers, and often at two. Divide the flat taxi fare by the per-person shuttle fare to get the crossover directly.
For a solo budget traveller with time to spare, yes. If you have a flight to catch or young children, the 30-60 minutes of hotel stops usually outweighs the saving.
