San Ysidro Transit Center is a San Diego Trolley station in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, California. The station is the southern terminus of the Blue Line and is located on a short rail spur off the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway main line which hosts the Blue Line to downtown San Diego.

Located just north of the San Ysidro Port of Entry at the Mexico–United States border, San Ysidro serves primarily as a way to provide transportation for the thousands of international commuters and tourists who travel between San Diego County and Tijuana, Mexico.

It also provides access to the large shopping areas, including Las Americas Premium Outlets, which are connected to the stop via a pedestrian walkway. An intercity bus station is located adjacent to the station.[2][3] It is the second busiest station in the San Diego Trolley, with nearly 18,000 passengers using the station each day.[4]

History

San Ysidro opened as part of the initial Script error: No such module "convert". "South Line" of the San Diego Trolley system on July 26, 1981, operating from San Ysidro north to downtown San Diego.[1]

This station was scheduled to undergo renovation starting December 2014,[5] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[6] though actual renovation construction did not begin until January 2015.[7] Renovation construction at the station continued through December 2015[8] before completion.

Future

There are future plans for the station. A proposed Purple Line is to start its route at San Ysidro.[9] Moreover, SANDAG has proposed to turn the San Ysidro Transit Center into the San Ysidro Mobility Hub, including by adding a third trolley track to increase Blue Line frequencies, adding a bus lane on East San Ysidro Boulevard, increasing the amount of bus routes, and in the long-term, possibly even adding connections to the Coaster and Amtrak.[10]

Furthermore, future plans for the Blue Line to continue into Tijuana are awaiting approval. If it is to be made, the Blue Line would be extended 1 mile[11] or 1.5 miles[12] on an elevated trackage[13] into a new Tijuana station.[14] This proposal for a "Cross-Border Trolley", supported by SANDAG[15] and officials in Baja California,[16] could take 8 years to complete.[17]
