It was an awful experience. When I arrived at the TJ airport I found the bus station, but no one knew about Executive Lines! This was because I bought the ticket online. I did not know about the transfer bus to the border and after immigration I did not know where to go!! I walked around asking for Executive Lines and no one knew where it was. Finally I found it and met with your staff who was helpful. I was lost from the time my plane landed to when I finally found your office who printed me a ticket!
