===Transit=== {{multiple image |total_width=400 | align = right | perrow = 2 | image1 = Amistad SITT BRT Tijuana.jpg | caption1 = Amistad [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT) station | image2 = SITT Bus Leaving Stop.jpg | caption2 = A Tijuana BRT bus }} The city's main [[bus station]] is in its eastern borough. A small terminal downtown serves a few Mexican bus lines, and U.S.-based [[Greyhound Lines]] and [[Crucero USA]]. Another bus station near the border provides frequent service to [[Ensenada, Baja California|Ensenada]], and other major cities—including [[Mazatlán]], [[Culiacán]], [[Hermosillo]], and [[Guadalajara]]. Major [[bus]] lines operating in Tijuana include Azul y Blanco de Magallanes (Blue & White) and Transporte {{Not a typo|Efectivo}} Express de Tijuana – TEEXTI; modernizing system originally intended to phase out the other lines that partially introduced but ceased and merged with Azul y Blanco. A [[bus rapid transit]] system, named SITT, operates one route from Downtown Tijuana and Garita Puerto Mexico near the [[San Ysidro Port of Entry]], southeasterly along the Tijuana River to Terminal Insurgentes in the southeast of the city. It is part of a planned system of main and feeder lines to replace other buses and minibuses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sitt.org.mx/inicio/rutasymapas/|title=SISTEMA INTEGRAL DE TRANSPORTE DE TIJUANA is under construction|website=Sitt.org.mx|access-date=16 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017044910/http://www.sitt.org.mx/inicio/rutasymapas/|archive-date=17 October 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2006, Tijuana underwent a major overhaul of its existing system of ''guayines'', or shared fixed-route station wagons, forcing the replacement of the ''guayines'' with new models of vans, serving as fixed-route taxis. Major transit hubs include Centro (Downtown Tijuana), Otay, Soler, and the ''Cinco'' y ''Diez'' avenues. Taxi lines operating in the city include Free Taxis, those that do not maintain a specific route; Economic Taxis; Diamond Taxis – black or yellow cabs; and regular taxis maintaining a set route. There are as many bus lines and routes as fixed-route taxi ones or ''calafias'', and new routes for buses, taxis or ''calafias'' are frequently created, due to high demand of public transportation. Public transportation service is inexpensive, with bus tickets at maximum, US$0.75. Fixed-route taxis are somewhat more expensive, depending on the taxi route, reaching US$2.00. Bus, taxi and ''calafia'' lines and routes are distinguished from one another by their vehicles colors. However, there is no public record for these routes, set timetables, or fixed bus stops, making Tijuana's public transportation services very unreliable especially for lesser served areas. Locals generally transmit this type of information (routes) by word of mouth. In March 2021, the [[Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (Mexico)]] approved a state contract for the design, construction, and operation of the first phase of a Tijuana-Tecate interurban rail line. The {{Convert|27|km|mi|abbr=on}} segment will connect the San Ysidro-Tijuana land port of entry to Ejido Maclovio Rojas municipality in Tijuana's east and will include seven intermediate stations – Kino, Américas Oriente/Xolos, La 5 y 10, Swap Meet Siglo XX1, García, Terán Terán and El 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BNamericas - Mexico approves construction start-up of Tij... |url=https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/mexico-approves-construction-start-up-of-tijuana-tecate-rail-link |access-date=11 May 2022 |website=BNamericas.com}}</ref>
