SAN DIEGO – Uber is launching cross-border service between Mexico and the United States.
It’s a new program called Uber-Passport. The service will allow riders to travel one-way from San Diego, California to Tijuana, Mexico. Uber officials say they chose the two cities because they are sister communities that are already closely linked.
