How to get from Belize City to Tikal?

I have heard and read many things about how dangerous Belize City is. I want to get to my destination, Tikal, as soon as possible once I land in Belize City. However, the only bus company that I am able to find that takes me to Santa Elena/Flores (nearest bust station to Tikal) is this bus company. According to their website, the only time they go to Santa Elena is at 10 in the morning. However, my flight lands just a few hours after that.

I am very concerned for my safety. Could someone please help me find a bus on this same day with directions on how to get from Belize City Airport to the bus station?
