Crime, Safety, and the Police

Frank the American Cocksucker who owns Border Station Parking has now shortened your $9 weekday rate from 12 hrs to 10 hrs. That means all you guys willing to cough up $36 for basically an overnighter have to light a match to $45 or so in your wallet. Meanwhile the lot sits basically empty on weekdays.

The bankrupt Kmart has a big parking lot just sitting there. You'd think the owner would have the sense to turn that into a pay lot and undercut BSP.

I was there last week with my chicka, arrived at 6 ish on, then I noticed the time had changed, anyways I was staying over the night with her and seeing that it was a 10 hour interval, I owed 9 dollars just those initial hours, then as soon as Friday hit I owed $18 totaling up to $27. At 2 am Friday my time ended for that first interval, so that means by 12 pm I had to move my car or else I would owe $45 for that little time, that's ridiculous. I made the mistake by not parking my car in Otay which would have been $25 for two days even if it was Friday.

Yes correct. Things just got more expensive depending on how you roll.

For me an increase of $9 per day. Those extra 2 hours mean a lot because they do not complete a full 24 hrs. Multiplied by 3 days plus taxi to border and back = Too Much and much more than I was spending or am willing to spend. If you think $45 for 1 day plus 17 hrs is more than fair that's on you. I see it as a waste product of our economic system. A sewage run off of what's wrong with America. It's called IN YOUR FACE capitalism.

In Mexico cops will reach into your pocket and take your shit. In America Frank Cocksucker's will nudge the hours or someone will come up with new rules or regulations to jack you the fuck up. If I get jacked at least I want to be strong armed and robbed face to face no pussy footing around like we do in America.

3rd world shitholes don't do this to their people. Why the fuck can't I park for a reasonable rate in an EMPTY parking lot? Because COCKSUCKER FRANK is a pig.

The majority of our ills are MAN MADE. Don't hate the universe HATE the men that built it.

No disrespect to those that work or have worked for Govt. especially law enforcement and military. Thank You for your service.

End of rant.

I'm a bit fuzzy on something. OK. The rate was $9/12 hours and now it's $9/10 hours. Or, put another way, the hourly rate increased from $0. 75 to $0. 90. Is that correct?

Now if that's correct, then $9 x5=$45, your example. That's 5 10-hour instances, or 50 hours of parking. Just over 2 entire days, or 48 hours plus a bit of slack in case you're late. That's an awfully long overnighter. Essentially you can park on, say, Tuesday at 10 am and pick up the car at noon on Thursday. So, I'm fuzzy on the assertion that a guy wanting an overnighter spends $45.

When I did "walk across" overnighters, they were a lot closer to 24 hours. So, if I understand, the price used to be $18. Now, assuming at these low prices they don't do fractional days, the price for 24 hours is $27. A $9 increase, but you have a bit of extra slop in the schedule now because you have 30 hours instead of 24.

Now, it's not my money but it seems that demanding Bernie Sanders start dictating fair prices over a $9 increase seems a bit drastic, no? In either scenario, the increase is the same - $9. While I'm a notorious cheapskate myself, or so my GFs tell me, this increase is irritating but hardly drastic. I don't mean this to be snarky; if $9 is a serious impediment, maybe this is the wrong pastime?

I get asked if I am scared to go into Mexico. NO MY DEAR I get scared to return to the USA.

I hate America more and more everyday. I totally feel you Bernie Sanders crowd. I don't blame you at all. Imagine giving some cockuscker $45 to park in an empty lot when I used to pay $7.

You are right, actually, there still is a spot where it's $10 you just reminded me at Otay, I think I will schedule it, this weekend will be fun no doubt.

$15 a day on the weekend is a sweet deal in this climate. I can't think of anything cheaper besides risking an extended stay at a trolley stop. Myself I am out of the parking arena. Either I buy a cheap car or move closer to Tijuana. Things will get even worse. I think Otay Parking was $10 last year.

[Artisttyp]

I am planning to head out this weekend to be with a chicka, where do you recommend parking that won't bust my balls. I'm planning Otay for 15 per day but I'm just wondering if anywhere free,. Beyer is limited now but which rail station is best?

When the second bus arrives. Definitely time to depart.

So you're saying that if there's only one passenger on the first bus, it will immediately depart upon arrive of a second bus? Couldn't be more wrong here. The first bus will stay until it gets full. If you know anything about Tijuana, you would know that bus (including taxi de ruta) drivers aren't paid hourly or salary like USA Bus drivers. Mexican bus drivers lease their vehicle and route. They keep all their fares. That is why you always see those red taxi de rutas drive all crazy, always in a hurry. Because the faster they drive, the more passengers they pick up, the more money in their pocket.

[Sound7]

It was under construction is it active now. I guess our exit is documented on video for sure now. Gave a wave to continue with the USA exit to Tijuana, Mexico.

They don't run in any set intervals and I highly doubt there is any set schedule. When a bus gets full, it departs. Except for late at night, there is almost always a bus or two there waiting to load passengers.

[ClamSlammer]

how frequently do these come by?

They run in 15 min interval during daylight. They have a schedule to keep but wait for certain period.

[Sound7]

They run in 15 min interval during daylight. I select one that is full and stand for the quick ride.

They have a schedule to keep but wait for certain period. Driver accepts dollar bill and change in peso. Exchange rate? Few pesos involved.

I believe this is what I was referring to initially. As I mentioned, how frequently do these come by? I went once and it was decent, for 10 pesos, I'll take it.

After you cross at PedEast and walk to where the taxi's wait, just to the left there are usually a couple shuttles waiting to load up on passengers to head to Centro. Fare is $10 mn or $.75 usd. It will drop you off at the Dax on 3 ra and Constitucion. The Zona is exactly 3 blocks north. The buses are pretty crappy, usually retired school buses or hotel-style shuttles that were probably used in the 80's.

[LovesToSploog]

Thank you and Clamslammer for the information.

Fare varies from 10 to 15 pesos to Centro. Some time standing only space. Confirm the Centro direction.
