Not to it, but by it. Not close enough to walk, however.
Get off the Trolley at America Plaza, downtown San Diego. Ask around about a shuttle to the airport.
Amtrak is across the street and it's all there. You'll find a ride.

Less than 2 miles from the airport terminal to the nearest trolley station in Little Italy.

Wow lots of feedback for this post! Ok, we fly to San Diego airport, take the trolley to the border, walk over into Tijuana. We need to do the
reverse on the way back.
About the Greycoach bus, what's the scoop on checking passports etc? How can the bus just drive over without stopping to be checked?
The flight home from SD to Buffalo, then Toronto, only goes at night, one about 9:30 and one about 10:30. Either is fine with us. We had thought of
crossing into the US in the afternoon so we can have a look around and lunch/supper before flying home. We dont want to wait til supper time to make
our way back in case of delays.
Thanks for all of the info!

I believe the passengers get off and walk through a special lane, then get back aboard.

When crossing the border on motos, my buddy and I were directed to cut the line close to the inspection site.....turned out there were four of us
together.....I didn't feel comfortable at the time but several car drivers told us this was acceptable....
Time now to ask ....... true or faux pas....... Don't want to be under the assumption it's OK and get shot at............
BTW, this was crossing into the Yuma, AZ area.....

I had to catch a flight in San Diego and took the bus up a few weeks ago and the walking line was very long. As I was walking past people no one said
a thing as I passed them until I got to the front where a woman blocked my way and told me to get to the back of the line. I rolled the wheels of my
suitcase over her exposed toes and went on my way. The TJ cops also asked me why I was moving to the front and all I said was Sentri and they let me
pass.
Probably saved 2 hours from standing in the sun.... |
i still find it disconcerting that the US government sells fast service and let's poor make do with slow service.
we all pay taxes for government services, why should we have to pay extra to get better or quicker service from our government.

It more about the military industrial complex. It's about politics and creating the false sense that the elected officials were doing something to
protect the citizens of the US.
We, who have been regular border crossers have had to endure a tremendous hassle. For what?
I dare anyone to show me where this ridiculous increase in border security has actually yielded any significant "gotchas". What it has done is have an
enormous negative effect on tourism to Baja.
Anyone really believe that Osama intended to cross the border while hiding in the trunk of an old, rusty Mitsubishi?

Should we decide to get the Greycoach bus to go from Tijuana into California, where do we get this bus? If this is such a quicker/better way to cross
the border, why isnt it more popular or common? Or is it popular and I just dont know it? 
How far does this bus go? Our destination is the San Diego airport.
Thanks.

Geez, Goat, you are really an inconsistent thinker. Equal services even though the poor usually do not pay any taxes at all, and then to top it off,
you probably totally support taxing the rich more than the base rate.
