Shared Shuttle from Barcelona Hotel to BCN??

[robin13]

So now instead of having to catch a 7:15am flight from BCN back home I am now on an 11:15am flight.  I was researching shuttles and saw there was a shared ride one that only cost $13.09E.  It does say that the max number of stops is 4 and the travel time could be up to 50 minutes.  Since I'm not in that big of a hurry to get to the airport I was thinking of taking one of these shared shuttles to save some money.  Considering a taxi is estimated around 35E to me it would be worth it.  Does anyone have any experience using a shared shuttle?

The aerobus is only 5.9E.   Is your hotel close to one of it's stops ?  http://www.aerobusbcn.com/en/lines

 

Our hotel is nr Placa Catalunya so we are using the Aerobus.

That shuttle makes little sense.  As Mapleleaves posted, the aerobus is a great option if you are on a strict budget.  Otherwise, forget the shuttle and simply take a taxi  which I think is still about 30€ (the fare might have increased since we did this).  Given that your shuttle will cost you 26 Euros (for two persons) and a taxi should cost 30-35 Euros I think the taxi is a no-brainer.  No stops, no waiting.  Your hotel can get you a taxi in a few minutes or faster

We plan to use a taxi to the airport after our 4 day hotel stay in Barcelona.

So I just got back from my TA that ended in Barcelona and I'm happy to report that the shared shuttle worked out for me.  Since I was traveling solo it only cost me $17 US dollars and they were on time and got me to the airport very quickly.  I would definitely use them again if I was traveling solo.
