There are always collectivos in big airports - like that Transcabo. I didn't want to mention them, because they are not a bus, cost more than a bus and work differently from a bus. It's a van, like a big taxi, and parked (usually) in the same area or next to taxi. You go past pushers that are yelling "taxi, taxi" - or tell them "quizas, un collectivo" and they will leave you alone, because they want to sell you exactly a "taxi", not collectivo.
Collelctivo leaves when it's full, so you might have to wait. Or he will try to jack the price up, because there are fewer passengers, and you - as a group - can negotiate. I would say, in Mexican culture you not "can" but "should", this is normal and expected.
You might consider taking a collectivo to downtown bus station, and then a real "bus" from there. Between these 2 towns there is at least one bus every 60 minutes.
