SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Mexican officials are proposing a special pathway to eliminate traditionally long northbound border waits for pedestrians at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
The plan is modeled after the Cross Border Xpress, which quickly delivers air travelers from the U.S. side, via a bridge, into the Tijuana International Airport for a fee.
Figures show that on average, 20,000 people walk into the U.S. on a daily basis through the San Ysidro Port of Entry, where most mornings require two-hour waits.
This plan calls for a special pathway to be built on the Mexican side of the port of entry.
