Excerpt from ZihuaMart post--->

"I'm traveling alone and light, and not that excited to take a taxi for one from the airport to Zihua.

I have read some posts and understand there are cheaper options (some of these may be referring to the same thing) such as:
- local bus
- Autobus
- small collectivo
- combi"[/quote]

Hola ZihuaMart

It looks like the others who responded did not mention the last option on your note, which was the "combi".
THAT is local terminology, for the "Urvan".
The "Combi" was a van made by VW. I owned one back in 1971.
They made them paneled, and with windows.
They have been replaced by the NISSAN "Urvan" here these days, although possibly there may be a couple of the VW "Kombi" still alive & in service, on their last stand...... lol

Back to your question, this CHEAPSKATE (me) has on several occasions simply walked out of the airport parking area, backpack on and one hand carried item, to board the URVAN (maroon striped) back to town, for around 15 pesos, (or LESS).
Once you are out of the gate, walk maybe one or two minutes, and wait there on the side, IF there is not an URVAN already there waiting for passengers.
I may add, to return to the Airport, do the reverse.
Saves big pesos ☺
Happy URVAN-ing.
