The line/La linea

With over 150,000 crossing the border between Tijuana & San Ysidro/San Diego daily, it is the busiest land crossing in the world.

Mas que 150.000 por dia hacen la garita entre Tijuana y San Ysidro/San Diego la mas concurrida del mundo.


In the late morning with an "orange alert" it takes 2 to 3 hours to get across going north. A short time ago it was 1 to 2 hours. Last Sunday at 4am it took 30 minutes. (To go south takes less than a second.)
