### Long Wait Times Observed at US Border Following Labor Day
Tijuana – The day after Labor Day celebrations in the United States has resulted in extremely long wait times for those attempting to cross the border back into the US. As work and school resume, both vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the San Ysidro port of entry in Tijuana saw significant delays.
According to the latest reports from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the average wait time for vehicles was approximately 3.5 hours. This increased influx of cars also caused slow traffic throughout the morning, particularly along the eastern rapid transit route. Pedestrian lines were not exempt from these delays, with reported waits of up to 90 minutes.
Compounding the issue, 14 traffic inspectors were recently removed from their posts for allowing drivers to cut in line, further straining the flow of traffic.
