I am waiting on my SENTRI renewal card and had to use the regular lanes yesterday to cross north at San Ysidro. I got to the border at 6:30 and was
across in 50 minutes! All lanes had the double stacked staffing and it was flowing really good.

Expect shorter waits at San Ysidro this weekend
You can EXPECT it but you will have to ACCEPT it for what it is.

Well....maybe there is something to all this. Since first mentioned here, I've noticed [radio reports] shorter wait times at hours when one would
expect heavy congestion, such as this AM, 5:30, they were reporting one hour, 30 min, when normally it would have been at least an hour
longer....Monday AM and all.
We can hope. Just don't rely on it quite yet.

Wow, lucky you. We spent THREE AND ONE HALF #%*$!ng hours at Otay yesterday (1230-1600), I was peeED. Longest wait of my life. Absolutely no reason
for that crap.

OUCH....That hurts. The original post was about San Ysidro, but I assumed they were practicing efficiency at all the gates.
Obviously not.

Oh wow Sunman....that is brutal. At 6PM I called the San Ysidro border wait hotline and it said the wait was 90 minutes. I expected 2+ hours and was
shocked when it was 50 minutes. Apparently the double stacked staffing is going to be a big help.
The San Ysidro border wait hotline number is 619-690-8999 and they usually update it every few hours.

I monitored SY last weekend to see what was up. They had 22 lanes open, 6 more than usual. Wait time was sometimes 10 minutes in the ready lane. Also
was checking the new app (border wait) and user wait reports were shorter than times posted by the official website.
When I crossed Tecate on Friday, the official time was 30 minutes, but the real time was 60 minutes. Once I crossed, I found att reception and
reported my time on the app.. I encourage everyone who can to get the app. and send in reports!!
