I love videos like these. It's great to see videos on what to do in a country, but stuff like this is golden because it's so rare to find info on it. And especially if I'm going to be landing somewhere tired and jet-lagged, I want to know ahead of time what process I'm going to face for getting to the hotel so I can be prepared.

Funny story: Took my kids to San Diego Easter weekend this year (never been, and didn't know San Diego was that close to Tijuana. My friend told us about a mall, that we googled and drove too. while driving the signs are starting to count down, that it was 3 more exit till the Mexico Border.. then 2 more exits. My kids and I are freaking out.. and screaming like crazy ppl. the exit for the mall was the very last exit. kmsl.. We laughed so hard!!! it was so funny. I always think of that now.
@IslandHopperTV3 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah I did that before. I just wanted to go to the border and the signs kept saying intl border but we could not find the exit. We actually ended up crossing the border in our car on accident and had to figure out how to get back across. Waiting 3 hours in a line… I know exactly what you are saying.

CBX (Cross Border Xpress) is the service that allows you to cross the border between Tijuana and San Diego more quickly and safely. Important: due to government restrictions, inbound land border crossings from Mexico to the US are limited to essential travel.

Nice and informative video. Thanks for sharing! Didn't you get FMM card when you cross from SD to TJ? They issue tourists FMM cards upon entry to Mexico. I am surprised to learn that you had to fill out FMM card at CBX because I thought you would have already been issued an FMM upon your entry to Mexico. You just need to return that FMM card to Mexican Immigration at CBX when you leave Mexico. I am a little bit confused with the FMM form filling at CBX.

Dude, you don't need a compass card and you only needed to pay $2.50 for one way fair on the trolley. The $6 pass is if you gonna ride all day back and forth. Paying $200 bucks for a hotel room in Tijuana is highway robbery. I'm sure you could have gotten a 4 star hotel room for $60 bucks or so without even trying. I live in San Diego. How much you pay for the Taxi to the airport? you paying tourist prices.
