Usually I take the cab from the border to HK at $5-$6 depending on how willing I am to negotiate the price on that day. If you are referring to shuttle, you don't need VIP card to use their shuttle. Although it will be a day trip for you without sleeping over the night, I think it's still recommended to get a room. I hated it when the cum bois frantically bang my door. When you get a room, you won't have this rather annoying experience cuz they don't time your room. Have fun.

Interesting. Ive never been insisted by cum bois to tip them more than $1. Great review btw. Concise but detailed enough. Thanks!

I got global entry last year and used it on my last visit few months back. It was one of the best decisions ive made in my life. It is more than worth it when you can skip the line that is well above few hours long.

@Greanbeans Yea, absolutely. Probably one of those moments. Going in, I probably already was on the negative vibe. Thanks for the insight :)

@CJKent_band I think you are absolutely right that I probably am projecting. I think people do have different expectations and different experiences. Maybe it was just bad luck this time or my buyer's remorse somehow took the best of me this time. Thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it.

I just crossed the border back into US from TJ on Thursday. There was no Covid check or vaccination card check.

@PutaTester ah okay. Thanks for sharing your experience. This is golden!

@herbtcat I looked up some articles and it seems like it should be fine?

Thank you all for the response. You all gave me some great insights!

Tbh, Zona Norte is kinda going downhill I feel like. I was there like two months ago and the experience wasn't as pleasant as previously. Don't even get me started, but these fucking meseros being more aggressive in pressing you to buy drinks than ever before. Fucking hotel Cascadas giving me shitty ass room even if I reserved the room for overnight and specifically told them I need a hot water. Girls quoting higher than ever before. I'm now not as enticed to go there as before.

I'm sorry this happened to you and I have to agree that these ppl are getting more and more aggressive to try to rip you off. GJ for standing your ground when that mesero at TB tried to rip you off. Unbelievable piece of shit he is, smh.

@wallanon I went two days ago. Yea, it went fine lol. Maybe I was just overtly reacting idk. No trouble at all.

@Papi_Chulo I would say about 30 cars.

@silkypants Right, but some ppl were saying how they were forced to buy that 180 day pass even if they were just making a visit for less than 7 days.

@SanchoRG Ah okay. Thanks for the info. I guess i will just eat up the charge

@SanchoRG Wait, but my intention is to not pay that $30. I put down a 2 day visit so shouldnt i be able to get away with $30 charge?

@SanchoRG Oh dang. Didn't even know this existed. Thank you so much! :)

$10 for a cab ride? Wow. That's new for sure lol

@Jascoi Okay. So I wasn't doing anything wrong to possibly rub him the wrong way. Seems like he was just being greedy. Thanks for sharing.

@SanchoRG, Got it. Thank you!! :D
