    Bathrooms up on the hill hey are not clean.
    Joel C.

    From the many stations that is located up from the South and the many areas that are in between the San Ysidro border there are many answers that have come across is the San Ysidro area very safe and yet to see the many place that are located at the San Ysidro border. The border can be described as the flea market and the place where the many scammers come to get people money and the Illegal Registration of documents that are in the Mc Donalds shopping center. There is no bathrooms that you can go to there are ones that are filthy and very smelly that you have to walk up the hill to get to or to pay inside the Mc Donalds Center which the food is very is not very well cooked. For the transit center there at the border is not one that is very safe yet with very few securities and the non-presence of the border patrol or the Homeland security the transit center is United States soil. To find that many of the bus stops that do not have security to have a presence at the transit center there is minimal security yet for the San Dag wants to start a late evening bus that would leave from the transit center the matter for the bus center is the security and the managers to oversee the hours. The areas of the transit center is the safety for the drivers and the passengers when you have busses leave late at the many areas from the many areas there is trouble that is very high at the border. As a customer and shopper yet you may find that the border area has many things the many things to watch for is the drivers posing as taxicab drivers and the ones that take you through the border. As a reviewer there are many things that you can see over at the border is the historical marker that separates the countries that has the correct historical land act that the United States had enacted in the year 1835. For the San Ysidro crossing you can see many of the art displays and historical remodel.

    BEWARE!!! The shuttle service here sucks!!t NO HELP WHEN YOU CALL THE NUMBER YOU CALLED FOR PICK UP!!!+16194280011 DO NOT TAKE THIS Service

    crossing immigration US side. We paid $17 Round Trip. Round trip leaves you stranded in San Ysidro! They do not return you to the location where you boarded! Round Trip is ONLY TO US BOARDER. You are abandoned with no transportation to your vehicle at the 24 hr parking lot! There are about 10 such parking lots within blocks of each other. We could get NO HELP WHEN YOU CALL THE NUMBER YOU CALLED FOR PICK UP!!!+16194280011 DO NOT TAKE THIS SHUTTLE. They abandon you and hang up on you if you call more than once, twice, for help. If you do not SPEAK SPANISH, YOU ARE TOTALLY SCREWED. We ended up having to pay$30 for a rip off coyote So** to drive up 1 mile to our vehicle. Thankful for ride to parking lot, but we paid for return service we DID NOT GET. WAITED 1 HOUR FOR SHUTTLE, 3 SHUTTLES TO Mexico 2 SHUTTLES TO US BOARDER. 3HOURS WASTED. $17 ROUND TRIP - NOT ROUND TRIP. PAID $10 MORE EACH! 3 HOURS IN TRANSIT. NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE. Go to El Mercadito in East LA INSTEAD!!

    This transit center is literally at the foot of the international border. The trolley tracks are backed up against the port where one exists customs and enters the U.S. With that being said. This is a VERY busy station full of people traveling to and from Mexico. The transit station itself is relatively dirty, most likely due to the sheer number of people who cross over. There are three sets of machines where you can buy your trolley tickets, however, the sun is always facing them making them nearly impossible to operate unless you shade the screen with your hands or an object. These machines are far from perfect. On top of not being able to see the screen, the credit card readers are extremely finicky so you often have to try to purchase your ticket multiple times. On busy days, there are MTS employees there to help you use the machines, but even they have trouble sometimes. I personally feel that this station is among the most neglected station in San Diego. Considering it extremely high use, it warrants more service and at least some shade for customers buying tickets.

    I live in San Ysidro and cross the bridge everyday. This is the view of the station.

    Heads up: There's currently a lot of construction going on around this train station, so if you're…read moreubering here I would give yourself extra time as your car may need to circle back around or drop you off at a further point with a bit if a walk. The station itself is older but that gives it some charm. If you're coming here thinking you're going to have a whole bunch of food options, think again. There's one little kiosk with a guy selling a few sandwiches and coffee. Honestly though the kiosk guy was great, really friendly even early in the morning. I wasn't exactly sure how this whole thing worked since I'm not from here, but the attendant was nice and explained that my train would have a line up starting 20 minutes before boarding, then we'd all board together. If you're taking a train out of here I'd give yourself extra time and bring your own food (but stop by the kiosk guy for a coffee, he's a delight).

    The staff here are rude; lacking basic customer service etiquette and accountability…read more I had a nasty fall on a large puddle of unattended water (no hazard sign). My phone screen is shattered and I have large, colorful bruises all along my knees and left thigh which appeared immediately. I was even bleeding a bit through my clothes. The janitor cleaned the water but was otherwise dismissive and lacking empathy even after seeing the damages. So, I asked him to apologize repeatedly for neglecting his duty . He adamantly refused, stating that "HE (personally) didn't spill the water" and "can't be everywhere at once" lol. The manager had the sense to apologize but was condescending. Talking over me the entire time, loudly defending the janitor within earshot of him. Mansplaining excuses that are NOT the customer's burden to understand such as: "we can't hire janitors 24/7" and "you said the spill looked like it was there for a while? Well, he ONLY clocked in 1hr ago and cleans the restrooms first". How is that my business lol? Any assigned duty during his shift is his responsibility. It's just common sense to apologize. Your internal staffing issues are also not a customer concern; you simply need more janitors or at least for them to prioritize tasks more efficiently. I've worked as a server and can't count the number of times I've had to fix and take accountability for a previous shift's mistake, btw. Annoying to listen to the manager trying to refute and twist all of my legitimate points in the janitor's defense. Yet, fully admitting that he needs to be admonished. Stop being your employee's boy. Teach basic respect. He even countered that this person is a "third party" hire when I pointed out that he still works for and therefore, represents Amtrak. Ridiculous LMFAO. Even ChatGPT finds them rude lol. No professionalism.

For the H Street you can fibd the many business that gave been here since the early years the business center of the Chula Vista Center known as the Chula Vista Mall. The H St station is one of the many ststions that with the many buses thet came through the city for the Hst station became one of the lransit stansit stations. With the large parking lot you could park and go to the connecting busses to the colleges and the marina. For the Chula Virta Cen4er is one of the conbection centers for the buses you could catch comming from the Transit Center and you could catch the 701 and the 709 vack to the Hst transit Center to connect with the Blue Line to the International Border. For the morning hours you could go across the street you can have breakfast at the Carls Jr one of the best in breakfasts and the burger combos the best prices. For the Hst street Transit station that you can take any of the buses up the buses to the Chula Vista Hospital and the buses you can connect to the Chula Vista Down Town area. The H.St station is one of the busiest for the many buses that come through the station with the many students that board the San Diego Trolley when tgey come to the station and che bus to school. Being a Yelp Elite Reviewer the Chula Vista Transit Hst Transit Center is obw you coyld go to the local suites hotel and the strip ma you can find the Dollar Storw Tgat is near by. The Hst Transit station is one station you can park and xatch the Blue Line going North and South.
