There is a transfer bus organized by some of the hotels. Ithink there is only one time of day each way (and only at weekends). No doubt someone will be along soon with more details.
Otherwise public transport complicated and badly co-ordinated (long waits between trains and buses).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Have a look at the Dolomitistars transfer bus service - normally runs twice daily from Marco Polo, picks up at Treviso as well.
However I do not think it goes to San Cassiano directly, but it certainly gets you close.
See here we used it last year on the snowHeads birthday bash.
EDIT - have now remembered that this service is only available if you have booked in one of the associated hotels.
You could try asking Mountainsun people (see here) if they have any suggestions as they operate in San Cassiano?

We might be able to help - we have transfers going to San Cassiano from Venice (and can pick up Treviso) every Sunday. It would be probably a shared transfer though. If you've had a quote for £650 for a group of 8 on private transfer that amounts to just over £40 per person each way - which isn't bad! If you contact Jude at mail@mountainsunltd.com she'll be able to advice if we can help and how much we can do it for. Hope you find something suitable.

Don't know whether you've come across this organisation, flyskishuttle. Just came across the link and maybe they offer what you want. The price is €30 return, but I have no idea how good or reliable the service is (though, as it seems to be supported by the local tourist authorities - if you can trust the web site, hopefully there is substance in it).

snowball, I think Arabba is in the Livinallongo valley - but I don't think any of those shuttles go to Arabba.
Not too far from the Val Di Fassa (by ski  ).
But more seriously, and a bit of a faff, you could get to the top of Val Di Fassa by the shuttle and then take a taxi-bus to Arabba.
Presumably you've looked at the Arabba website here and then contacted the tourist office (see email link at foot of page) to see what they suggest?

I think SteveM is right. Looking at the map at the top of the flyskishuttle web site I think Arabba is in the "hole" in the middle that the buses don't go to (and I'm not sure how easy it is to drive from the Val di Fassa to Arabba in winter; I suspect you would have to go through Corvara). I guess the bus + taxi route would end up quite expensive. As Steve says Arabba is in the Livinallongo valley, called Fodom in the local Ladin language.
Edit: Not trusting my geography, I investigated a little further and discovered, to my surprise, that the Passo Pordoi between the Val di Fassa and Arabba, with its 60 hairpins, is open (generally) in winter, so the direct route to Arabba is possible.

quadwould, I was out in San Cassiano with my family and another family last February. The Cortina Express definitley does a service from San Cassiano to Marco Polo and then into Venice itself. I think it starts in Corvara or La Villa, then comes to San Cassiano before heading to Venice via Cortina. For our return journey to the airport, we caught the bus about 10 am in the morning and the journey is about 3 hrs. I think it runs twice a day. jimmybog, has already listed the website but I see they only have the Cortina timetable until December. I think after December the route extends to include San Cassiano.

If you contact cortinaexpress then they will send you the timetable by email. It may not yet be available for this winter but I don't think it will be too long before it is

You know it makes sense.

quadwould, don't know about Italian prices but you'd expect to pay at least £80 return for a transfer of that length in France. To our place from Geneva is quite a lot shorter and the last transfer I organised for friends was around £90 each in a minibus, 7 of them.
