- How is everyone doing? I am finally back in Tijuana after nearly 3 weeks in my hometown. I thought I would put together a little how to guide to get from the airport in San Diego to Tijuana in the most cost-effective manner. I hope this video is helpful and please let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
An Uber from San Diego airport to the border will take probably about 30 minutes but at a cost of a minimum of $50-$60.

I use the pronto app. You can ride 992 all the way to the city college station and hop on the blue line south.
Great video. I did that ride back in 2004.
Thank you 🙏🏽
gotta be one of the most useful videos Ive ever seen, keep up the great work
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I like to cut out the fluff with my videos ha ha!
I am traveling Today. I am waiting for my connecting flight in Salt Lake City. Its good that I watched your video right now. Gonna save 55 bucks. Thanks mate!
You’re welcome 🙏🏽
Great video! Excellent
Thank you very much!
This saves me $30! Thank u for this video 🙏🏽
My pleasure, thank you for watching
great info!
Gracias Tim
Good video. There is a less expensive and more comfortable way without having to deal with city bus & the sketchy downtown Santa Fe station. From SAN, take the free Airport bus (Airport Flyer) to Old Town Transit center. Hop on the San Ysidro trolley with a one-way ticket for $2.50 and get off at the border to walk across. You save half the cost and get to enjoy a more comfortable trip.
Thanks for the tips!
This trip could can also be used to go to the Otay Border crossing. Instead of taking the trolley from Downtown. You take the rapid bus 225 from the Santa Fe Depot bus stop.
Good info 😊
The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner takes you to LA or San Liuis Obispo. The Coast Starlight takes you up the coast all the way to Seattle, but it originates in LA, not San Diego.
The only way to travel to LA!
Thank you very helpfull
My pleasure I am glad you found it helpful
You can also take the rental car shuttle and ask the driver to drop you off at the trolley station. The rental car shuttle itself is free. I believe they drop you off at Middletown Station from where you can get the Blue line to San Ysidro. You can also take a bus from San Diego Santa Fe Depot all the way down to Otay Mesa Transit Center if your part of town is that side. This also works if you want to avoid the $18 fee to cross at CBX if you are going to the airport. You just cross over at Otay Mesa and Uber over to the airport for $5 from Blvd de Bellas Artes.
Thanks for the tip 💪🏽🙏🏽
the queuing back to sd can be quite the pain, nice vid
There are life hacks, maybe I make a video
@@ZorroYT27 would be awesome man :D
How about a video on an inexpensive way to get from the San Diego airport to the CBX crossing to access the Tijuana airport. A couple of years ago, the shuttle between those two points wasn't very reliable.
Done deal ✅
Great video, props👏🏽 I didn’t know there was a bus from SAN to downtown. I usually take the shuttle bus to the car rental building & walk from there to trolley Washington station. If you don’t mind, how much is your rent at NC condos? I’m planning to move there in the next couples month.
I am happy to discuss all of this with you, and I’d love to learn about your plans to move. Will you please send me an email at zach@foxre.com
Good accurate info. I wish there was some sort of express service to the border from downtown but still I use the trolley all the time. Do you have residency in Mexico? I know you don't really need it in TJ.
Thank you 🙏🏽 I would say the express way is Uber… but that’s where the cost comes in. This is the $5 way vs the $50+ way for Uber. I’m sure I can help arrange private drivers for a few hundred plus also if that’s what you’re into.. Private black on black SUV I’m sure would do it too
This is the first video I have seen were this trip was done with the Pronto card. There's another video were this other guy did the same trip. He did it with the Compass card they stopped using.
We keep it modern out here 😆 and I’m new jaja
How do you cross back to SD side when on foot? That normal line is 3 hours long sometimes. I recommend getting a Global Entry card so you can skip it in the Sentri walking lane. Its also good to drive across back into US in the Sentri car lane.
There are life hacks to eliminate the line… maybe I make a video on that…
Chaparral from 9 to 11 is generally a 5 min wait
Global entry & TSA Pre are included when you’re a Sentri member👍🏽
What tips do you recommend crossing back on foot? I plan on renting a car at airport and dropping it back off at airport
Cross late at night there won’t be any traffic on foot
Is the border open early in the morning to get back to San Diego? also does the trolley and bus have a early schedule?
PedEast is open 24 hours and I think the trolley opens at 4:30AM
The start of the video is in the Portland airport and then he walks out of the door at the San Diego airport wearing the same outfit. So I presume he flew Portland to San Diego. Very clever!
I was visiting my mom in Portland
what are the hours of service for the 992 bus and Blue South trolley...???
Im not 100% and don’t want to tell you the wrong thing. I’d check the website
Please post a video of how to get from Tijuana to San Diego airport. Using like a bus not on foot.
Are you talking about the crossing the border on one of those buses that they offer that are a rip off?
I would like to know what option is more practical for a family traveling (i.e. with children and baggage)? Likewise, have you crossed with a rental car?
@@cindeeflores7349 you can cross with your family and a car. I would recommend looking into getting a medical pass. I’m pretty sure you can get one with a simple dental visit. Reach out to them prior.
Would like to hear what you do for healthcare like if u have a job in the US, do u cross and go to the doctor at home? What do you have for car insurance? What schools are there for kids? How do you buy a house can you even get a mortgage? What’s the home insurance situation? Where do you bank? Whats the deal with immigration to live down there? The boomers have broken all this back in SD, young families are hurting here and need a way out.
Thanks for the comment. I’ve only been living here a short period of time, so I wouldn’t be the best to advise on these topics.
you don't stop at the CASA DE CAMBIO next to McDonald's?
No, I personally don’t. Everywhere in Tijuana accepts dollars.
@@ZorroYT27 VERY TRUE !!!!!!
Do a lot of people in Tijuana fly from the San Diego airport?
If you’re flying into the US then yes it is easier to fly domestic from San Diego
How much is rent in your building?
That can vary between what type of unit you have. There are one bedrooms all the way to penthouses. If you’re interested in making a move to, from, or within Tijuana shoot me an email zach@foxre.com
@@ZorroYT27 what’s the cheapest one bedroom?
@@Daygosd619 in NewCity? Under $2k
Did you go to eat some Chinese food 😅
Possibly lol
