You can drive by taxi from Yangon to Bagan. I dont know how much it is. But if you come with large group, its the most cheaper but i think you can't enjoy the public transportation in Burma.
The last choice that i've choosen with my friends is going to Bagan by Bus. You can choose many bus there, but i very recomend you to go with JJ Bus Express. Its not sponsored post, you know. I've try JJ Bus Express and Shwe Mandalar, and the JJ Bus is won any aspect except price.
