Where To Find BUS SCHEDULES PRICES
What site do you recommend to find bus schedules, and fares for the peninsula?
I know Greydog hauls from the Tijuana central camionera to centro San Diego, but I am wondering if they have service just to US Customs (where
everyone has to "debark" anyway?) The last taxista said "Twenty Dollars or Walk". I walked.
From there (US CUSTOMS) I'll hoof it. I understand they now have an area with seats for the disabled.
Are the autobuses still maintained at 59F summer and winter? Don't need earplugs, I'm near deaf. Just wonder if I'll need my winter coat.

$20 from the central camionera to the border?! That's ridiculous. It shouldn't cost more than $10 ($12 at night) to anywhere in the city from anywhere
else in the city. I've had taxistas try that and I just roll my eyes and say, "No me bajaron del cerro a tamborazos, güey, nomás vale [fill in price I
want to pay here]."
Once you're across you can take the trolley to downtown San Diego. The trolley stop is twenty steps outside the exit of the customs building.

I took the greyhound from there to the border 2 weeks ago. They charge $13 now.

Colectivos (Mini-Buses)
How do you negotiate price from point-to-point with the drivers and know what is a fair price? (Trying to avoid the gringo effect on pricing.)
For example, they are all parked together in a spot, ready to go out. How do you find out what the fair price is for point-to-point on their regular
route.
Or say you flag one down and tell him you want to go three kilometers farther down the road in the direction he is heading?

the cab ride to the border from the station is 180 pesos...
you pay at a small hut out front
you do not pay the drive
the driver takes you to the place where you get in line and walk across
piece of cake
take some change...the bathrooms at the bus station a 3 pesos

ABC, Autotransportes de Baja Ca,Bus Co, does/did have a site, don't know it's current status,
you could ballpark a $, I believe it is $135 dlls or so,
TJ/La Paz one way, back in my bus travelling days, I
would take a TJ City bus from the border to the TJ
Central Station, some 4 mi. east of the border, 70 cents
or so, some would be the larger busess, some old school
busess,, the smaller busess would not be too comfortable,
they are/were at the so. end of the Central Station

ABC is supposed to offer half-fare to seniors over 60. But like many Mexican websites when you get there it is pure Alice in Wonderland. You'll read
about movies, air conditioning, exactly where the centro de camionera is in Tijuana, how many Kg is allowable as baggage, but the main site covers the
capes to Guerrero. And not a single price or salida ni llegada.

Prices vary based on distance, bus type, your age young or old, and they change over time, so it may hard to provide all that on a website that is not
often updated. I would not worry about the cost, it tends to be low. For more info go to an office or call.

Don't hold your breath!!
Every time I showed the old age card at the ticket counter, they looked at me like I was crazy and never heard of any discount.
