Transportation
Getting to the Border
Trolley
Catch the trolley from several locations in San Diego - downtown,
Old Town, La Mesa and Santee. Take the trolley that goes to San
Ysidro. The East line of the trolley connects with the south-bound
trolley (blue line) going to San Ysidro at 12th and Market Streets
in downtown San Diego, requires a transfer. Travel time is about
an hour to ride the trolley to San Ysidro from Old Town. Trolleys
run 7 days a week. Weekdays beginning at 5 a.m., the last trolley
leaves San Ysidro to San Diego at 1 a.m. Saturdays, last trolley
leaves San Ysidro at 3 a.m. Weekdays, the trolley runs every 15
mins, weekends they run from every hour to every 15 mins., depending
on the day and time. The complete schedule and map are located
on the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System website. More information
on the trolley, HERE.
In Mexico
Taxis As you enter Mexico from the passageway
immediately after going through the turnstiles, taxi drivers are
not at all shy about soliciting your business. They're open to
negotiation. There's lots of competition so always establish the
fare BEFORE getting into the cab. A reasonable fare from the border
to, say Chicago Club (Zona Rosa), is a total of $5. (U.S.), quite
a bargain if split between a few people. Taxi drivers will permit
you to load as many as 10 people into a taxi.
Walking
Walking in Tijuana during the day is as safe as walking in a
large US city. After dark your better off taking a taxi or walking
in the street. Stay alert and watch where you're going. Sidewalks
are full of cracks, curbs are non-standard height and it is
not uncommon to find deep holes in the sidewalk. Your best off
not wandering off in areas that are less populated.
Driving into Mexico has it's benefits and disadvantages,
Info
Car
Rentals are available in Tijuana from Avis, Hertz, Alamo
etc. Cars can be rented and delivered at the airport, or at
any of their other offices. Daily and weekly rates are available.
Rates are higher then in the US, try using a travelocity.com
in advance for the best rate. There is a rental company in San
Diego that rents cars with insurance that may be driven into
Mexico. More Driving Info

that are interested in

Insurance.
If you drive across the border most American car insurance policies
are not valid in Mexico. It is recommended buying Mexican auto
insurance from one of the vendors on the U.S. side. Policies are
available per day for about $10. (liability only) or you can buy
a booklet for multiple trips which can lower the cost to $6 with
a 15-day policy. Fill out a coupon each time you enter Mexico
and deposit the coupon in the vendor's handy ATM slot.
Visit Auto
insurance on-line where you print out the policy on your printer.

| Water
Mexican water is not safe to drink. Restaurants serve bottled
water. If you feel unsure, ask for bottled or mineral water. Most
fresh salads and drinks with ice cubes are not a problem as the
water used has been treated. |
|
|
| Drugs
People often visit Mexico to buy drugs that require prescriptions
in the U.S. Many of the drugs require prescriptions in Mexico
as well, although it's easy to find a pharmacy that will sell
the drugs without prescription. Take care when bringing these
drugs back to the US. |

| Tipping
is customary in Tijuana. It's expected in restaurants and hotels,
the usual amount is 15% of the bill. At hotels, the tip to the
bellboy is in proportion to the number of pieces of luggage. In
other cases, it's at the discretion of the guest. It's not customary
to tip taxi drivers, unless they are giving you a tour or providing
some special service. |

Telephones
in Tijuana
suck and are primitive compared to the US. Public telephones accept
accept Mexican coins as well as U.S. quarters. Prepaid long distance
calling cards work best and are available and can be purchased
at the airport and at many commercial establishments. When calling
from the US to Tijuana, dial 011-52-66, followed by the six digit
local Tijuana phone number. Calling from Tijuana to any part of
the world can be made from any telephone which can access "lada"
or the country telephone code. For example:
U.S.A. 001 area code then 7 digit number
Calling other parts of Mexico dial a 01 then the city code and
the number
Dial 001 for all other countries outside of Mexico |

History of
Tijuana goes back to the days when Tia Juana (Aunt Juana's Ranch).
During the Mexican American war Mexico lost Upper California
as a result a new border came into effect, making Tijuana an
international border city. Since the early nineteen hundreds
visitors from California came for shopping, horse races, boxing
matches and thermal baths. The "Prohibition" of the
twenties in the US, brought even more visitors to Tijuana looking
for what was no longer available in the the US. Gambling casino
were operating in Tijuana, including the famous Casino de Agua
Caliente. Tijuana's population tripled from 21,977 inhabitants
in 1940 to 65,364 in 1950. Since then, growth has exploded,
with an estimated population of 1,800,000 inhabitants, placing
it among the nation's four largest cities. Tijuana leads Mexico
in economic growth and employment as the fact that Tijuana is
the leading Television manufacturing country in the world. Besides
the cheapest paid sex south of Los Angeles or any other city
in North America.
