About CBP Border Wait Times

Knowing land border wait times at the various ports of entry into the United States from both Canada and Mexico can aid the traveler in making an informed decision on when and where to cross the border. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Border Wait Times (BWT) app provides estimated wait times and open lane status 24/7 at ports of entry that process commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and pedestrians. The BWT app breaks down wait times at each crossing by lane type (Standard, Sentri, FAST, Ready Lane, Nexus, etc.) The BWT app is a free service provided by the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

To keep so many human beings waiting 1.5 to 3 hours for more than a decade at the San Diego-Tijuana border.. is it not inhumane? (normal, ready-lane and pedestrian; even if their website/app claim 10-60 minutes). By looking at google maps real time traffic, real time cameras, and listening to anyone's testimonial, one can see their lack of condescendence for human life.

This could be a great app, but its lack of accuracy is the problem. App says things like a 40 minute wait for ready lane, yet real wait was just under 2 1/2 hours.

X70%
by X####:

San Diego and Otay Ready Lane predictions always off by 30 to 60+ minutes. I know it is hard to be accurate but as a government app they have the means to be better. Also refreshing should be done every 30 minutes at least. Trying another app that uses data from traffic cams for their predictions.

wonderful app, a must have for us that either live in the border or just cross regularly; yes I am aware that the wait times they post there are not 100% accurate, but those are machine estimates that can become way longer due to the nature of the inspections and the officers doing them, the only thing is that it would be better if they refreshed the info more frequently and not in just 1 hour intervals

M70%
by M####:

Waiting times can be off as much as one hour do not rely on this app for crossing the border.

W70%
by W####:

Times are not accurate but it's better than nothing. Waze is probably better.

T70%
by T####:

App said 60 minutes. Its been 2 hours 45 minutes and we are about 30 cars away but have not moved for about 45 minutes. Now app says time pending for the past 35 minutes. We are in regular lanes. Its 12:45 am. Don't understand why the app would be so off. Its a waist of space on phone and very disappointing.

Quit b*tching about how long you have to wait in line. You chose to go to Mexico. Get a passport.

R70%

This app is great for anyone who crosses the border. It gives you a good idea of how long it will take to return to the US.

You get the time to cross the bridge you need to factor the time to get there

K70%
by K####:

Says 10 min delay no matter what. This never shows real time delays.

Y70%
by Y####:

Thought this app was trustable, what a mistake and deception. Information from a government agency SHOULD BE REAL! Don't trust information posted in this app.

D70%

I have never used a more useless app ever. I have been standing in line for 140minutes. This app informed me there was less than 10 minutes.

I went to cross the border at San Ysidro in Mexico to the USA this week it said 15 min in the ready lane. It took me an hour and 20 minutes.

What happened with this app. Used to work very well.. Doesn't come up! What happened?? : (

S70%
by S####:

Wish it reflected accurate operating hours for commercial traffic. Otherwise very convenient for a general idea of delays. CBP/DHS has spent our $$ on worse things.

S70%
by S####:

As stated does not work

S70%
by S####:

Times are mostly delayed by 20 minutes.

S70%
by S####:

I have tested this app ten times at random times and ports of entry and it is always wrong. I had to wait at least an hour more every single time. Gov't wasting my taxes, could not give it ZERO stars. Uninstalling since I cross everyday and it is just crap.
