this is when you pay the 70 pesos to the van for a ride to the front of the line:light::light:

Where do you board this van???

No wonder people swim the river. That line is ridiculous.

I've stood in that line, 2.15 hrs., never could figure
out the Van thing, when I saw it, didn't seem as if
you were gaining enough to take it. I believe the
Mexicoach Red Bus leaves from Revo Ave. across
to the US side, I remember $8?

I saw the line too! It is a real "buzz killer"(lol)
Thank god for SENTRI . It took me about 3 minutes to get around the masses and get in and back across!

when you hit the end of the line there are "people" waiting to assist you :O

you just ask...they take you to the van

the van drives up the side lane then drops you at the crossing door...you are in front:light:

you just wallk across after inspection

van or bikes (no longer allowed) or bus to front - all worth every penny paid.

The line was longer at 10:45AM on Monday.

SENTI line wait: 0

Cars were just rolling through. We went right up to the card reader and then to the agent who just waved us through. However, it took us 15 minutes to get through the military check-point just before BLVD. 2000 entrance. The check-point repaving is finished and they now have 4 lanes but they are searching more cars than we have seen in the past.

That beats scouring the Segundas for a Walker or Crutches.
Women can stuff their sun dress with a pillow and claim, "I think my water just broke." That'll get you up front as well. :lol:
