Public Bus
From the Tijuana Tourist Information Center located at Av. Revolución, take the bus towards San Ysidro. Once you reach the San Ysidro border crossing, follow the signs to pedestrian crossing. After crossing the border into the United States, you will find yourself in San Diego. From there, take the San Diego Trolley (Blue Line) from the San Ysidro station towards UC San Diego. Get off at the 'City College' station. Transfer to the Green Line towards Santee Town Center and get off at the 'Little Italy' station. Walk 10 minutes to reach ICA San Diego, located at 1439 El Prado in Balboa Park.
Taxi or Rideshare
From central Tijuana, you can easily book a taxi or rideshare service like Uber. Simply enter 'ICA San Diego, 1439 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101' as your destination. The ride will take you to the San Ysidro border crossing, where you will need to walk across to the U.S. After crossing, your driver can either drop you off at the San Diego address directly or you can request a nearby drop-off point.
