Frequently asked questions about travelling by coach from Los Angeles to Tijuana

Single tickets to Union Station cost $9.75 and the trip lasts about 30 minutes. From Union Station, you can expect to pay around $30 for a Greyhound ticket to Tijuana, which will take about 5 hours.
A day-trip from Los Angeles to Tijuana is not worth it. Coaches and trains along this route take 4–5 hours each way. Driving yourself is faster, taking only 2 hours 30 minutes each way, but that doesn’t account for time spent queuing at the border crossing. Either way, an overnight trip from LA to Tijuana will be more worth your while.
No, you cannot go to Mexico from the U.S. without a passport or passport card, which is required of all U.S. citizens, unless you’re staying within the Mexican border zone (within 20–30 kilometres of the border). Other WHTI-compliant documents are accepted when U.S. citizens are returning from Mexico by land. For U.S. citizens age 15 and younger, an original or copy of a birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate also work for land travel. Because passports or passport cards are required for entering Mexico, however, you might as well use the same document in both directions. If you’re planning on travelling to Mexico with children, you may also need to bring proof of custody. If you’re travelling with children for whom you don’t have full legal custody, you should carry a notarized affidavit of consent from the child’s parents.
There are 54 scheduled coaches that travel from Los Angeles to Tijuana every day, so you have a decent number of options to choose from. This includes 20 direct coaches, where you can stay on the same coach without having to transfer to a connecting coach at any point during your trip.
