A newly approved intermunicipal transit route connecting Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito is expected to improve daily mobility while making it easier for local residents to visit the coastal city for short getaways.

The Institute of Sustainable Mobility authorized the Santa Fe–Rosarito route, which will provide a more direct connection between the two municipalities, particularly benefiting residents of Santa Fe and surrounding neighborhoods.

The route will begin in La Gloria and pass through Santa Fe, Pórticos, and Lomas de San Antonio before entering Playas de Rosarito, offering a more efficient option for hundreds of commuters traveling between the cities each day.

Once in Rosarito, the route will continue along Benito Juárez Boulevard—one of the city’s main thoroughfares—before heading toward the Mazatlán neighborhood and ending on Ermita Street in the Morelos area.

Service will be operated by white-and-yellow route taxis, with fares set at 15 pesos for trips within Rosarito and 17.50 pesos for intermunicipal travel, providing an affordable option for both commuters and day visitors.

Beyond its role in daily transportation, the route is expected to encourage local tourism by making it easier for residents of Tijuana—especially from the growing Santa Fe area—to access Rosarito’s beaches, restaurants, and entertainment without the need for a car.

The improved connectivity could benefit small businesses, beachfront dining spots, and tourism service providers, particularly during weekends and holiday periods when short visits are more common.

State officials said the route strengthens links between Rosarito and one of Tijuana’s fastest-growing residential areas, helping position the coastal city as an accessible destination for nearby communities.

With this addition, Rosarito continues to expand its transportation network while reinforcing its appeal as a convenient and attractive option for local tourism.
