Mestre has an excellent bus system, and a modern ticketing system that is very intelligent (except it malfunctions when you try to use group tickets). You can buy the electronic tickets at most Tabac shops, and they cost about one euro and last about 60-75 minutes. Just buy as many tickets as you need, they all go on the same card, then flash the card over the yellow validation machine on the bus when you get on.
The most useful bus numbers are 2 and 7, which both go to Venice S.C. train station, and I think 15 takes you to the airport.
A more comfortable and quicker way to get to the airports, and one that only costs a couple of euros more, is the ACTV bus. These are direct, and usually less crowded than the public buses. You can find the ACTV stop near the train station. Just take a right as you exit the station, and keep walking. The stop is opposite a kebab shop. You can buy tickets there after all the Tabac shops are shut.
Just be careful to get onto the right bus. They aren't always labeled correctly. The bus that took me to San Marco airport had "Lido" written on the front. One guy going to Treviso airport got on by mistake and had a long walk back after he realised.

Since it is always good to know for cheap flights, I suppose this might be a very useful tip. Actually, I saw this only by chance when strolling around Mestre and have took the picture.

Mestre proved to be the right choice for our trip to the Venice area. It was a location that lent well to good transportation connections (bus train car).
