Tijuana.- With a new binational corridor of the Tijuana Integral Transportation System (SITT), from Plaza Las Américas, in San Diego, to the terminal on Avenida Revolución in this city, the municipality intends to transport 360,000 users per year .
This Thursday the flag was given to this program that aims to “potentiate the offer of mass transportation and help people leave their vehicle at home,” said Obed Silva, head of the Mobility Secretariat.
He mentioned that the Mexicoach company, which will form part of the corridor to cross the border, has provided the service to tourists for 30 years and this guarantees its efficiency.
The company has an agreement with the Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP) for the pre-registration of its passengers, so they automatically know who is going to cross to expedite the process, he said.
Obed Silva explained that the travelers will arrive at a preferential inspection area in the San Ysidro checkpoint, where they will get off the unit to review documents and belongings, and then re-board the unit.
The price for the service will be $10, and in the terminal on the Mexican side there will be QR codes to access the CBP platform and fill out the manifest of intent to cross the border.

He estimated that the transfer will take around 30 minutes, an attractive time for those who travel by private vehicle and wait hours in line.
The director of the SITT, Alejandro Mungaray, explained that the binational corridor will be interconnected with other transportation lines in terminals on both sides of the border to facilitate mobility in mass transportation.
In the United States, the terminal will be at the bus station in the Las Américas shopping plaza, where travelers will be able to transfer to various parts of San Diego, he explained.
On the Mexican side, the Avenida Revolución terminal, in the North Zone, will connect with the SITT route to the Insurgentes Boulevard terminal, but it is intended to expand to the east of the city, in Villas del Campo, added Alejandro Mungaray.
In addition, this terminal will serve as a circuit closure for the new truck route that will run through Aguacaliente, where the state government seeks to replace the Red and Black Taxis.
