If you want go Baja California from outside of Mexico (example, Europe) by plane, is more cheaper go first to Los Angeles or San Diego than Mexico City. They are more near from Baja California and you can take the bus to get to Tijuana the first city at the border. Is more cheaper than taking a plane from Mexico City.
The unique excepcion is you are coming from South America. Theme: Airplane

Living in Los Angeles we never take a plane to Tijuana but we have found that if we drive to TJ, we can get a cheaper flight to other parts of Mexico.
My sister in law Irma has a big family and they will drive or take a bus to TJ and then get their flight out of there to Durango or Morelia or Leon or whereever they will be traveling to. Sometimes they have been able to save $200-$250 or more per person than if they had flown out of the States.

 SD Trolley Blue Line To
San Ysidro by lmkluque
The time it takes the trolley to travel from it's northern point, the San Diego Mission to the southern end is about an hour. Depending where you board the trolley you can guess how long it will take to get to the border.
If you are not familiar with public transportation in general, the phone number listed here will supply you with the nearest bus stop or trolley station to your lodgings.
It is possible to take the SD Trolley all the way to the boarder, then walk across into Tijuana. However, I suggest that getting off at the Beyer Station and taking the Transportes El Volante bus across the border and into downtown Tijuana to the 7th street area will make the trip much easier and save lots of walking.
UPDATE:
El Volante is no longer offering this service from the Beyer Station. However, at the end of the SD Trolley line at the border, you will have to walk across the bridge and on the north side of the street (at the west end of the bridge) you will see buses offering a shuttle ride into Tijuana.

 Relax and let it Flow by lmkluque
A little known fact--except by the local Mexicans traveling to and from Tijuana--is Transportes El Volante. This bus will by-pass the walk from the border to downtown. Transportes El Volante It will take you all the way into town for $1.75 One Way or $3.00 Round Trip--children under five ride free.
Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. a bus leaves about every 20 minutes. To get on this bus, take the Blue Line Trolley to the Beyer Street Station where you will see the white and red busses lined up. They will take you across the border and have stops on Avenida Madero--one block east of Revolucion--at First Street, Fourth Street and Seventh Street..
The return trip pick-ups are at the same drop-off points.
A decision to take one of these busses should also include the decision to accept what comes along with inexpensive travel Mexican style. Each bus is an old rattling school bus, not comfortable and the clientele is quite an interesting variety. They may not leave on time, but it is IMO, that the walking it saves is well worth the price!
If this seems a solution for you, take the San Diego Trolley Blue Line to San Ysidro and get off at the Beyer Boulevard Station, this is where you'll find the El Volante busses.
Update:
It seems that the Law has caught-up with El Volante?
Well, I don't really know, but they seem not to be running buses from Beyer Station any longer. However, there are buses that will take you into Tijuana, Mexico that can be found near the San Ysidro Trolley Station. As soon as I get the exact info I will share it here. The general idea of how these buses work is basically like that of El Volante so I leave the details in for now. Leave a Comment Theme: BusPhone: In Tijuana 685-81-83

 Traffic Stop on Avenida
Revolucion by lmkluque
I've driven in Tijuana since I was 18 and never had an accident or any other problem. I've been stopped by the police twice, once for a broken tail light and once for running a red light.
Both times the police were respectful and on the "running the red light" situation, it was many years ago when "mordida" was a fact of life in Tijuana. I ended up "Bribing" the cop. I simply asked if I could pay the ticket to him at that time, as I was in a hurry to get home, didn't want to go all the way back to the Police Station to pay it. He gave me the price, I paid and he looked very shocked when I asked for a receipt. That's the moment I realized that I had bribed him. Silly me.
You should know it is against the law to offer bribes to any police officials in Mexico and you could be prosecuted.
Tickets issued in Tijuana can be paid in the U.S. with a check or money order made out to: H. Ayuntamiento de Tijuana, 416 West San Ysidro Blvd. Suite “L”, No. 725, San Ysidro, CA 92143.

This time I parked my car on the US/Mexico border and walked across. Make sure you have your ID! Getting in to Mexico is easy. Getting out takes awhile, so make sure you use the restroom before getting in line! There are only restrooms on the US side of the border at customs.
It's easy to walk around. Just stay on the beaten path and you should be fine. I don't recommend taking a cab. There are many waiting once you cross the border. It's not worth it. They'll take the very long way around. The markets are straight ahead about 2 blocks. Just follow the trail of outside merchants! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 The way to go to downtown
Tijuana by trotador
Another way to arrive to Tijuana from San Diego is by trolley which stops in San Ysidro and then by bus as I said before or walking.
It's better if you go by bus to Revolucion and then waking back to San Ysidro, that's what I do when I go there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The best way to get around Tijuana is to walk. But if you are tired, you can always take a taxi and for approximately $6 (U.S.) you can get just about anywhere you want to go in the city. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
