Local Tips
- The border with Ciudad Juárez, Mexico is visible from parts of El Paso.
- Cross-border rides to Ciudad Juárez require pre-arranged transport — most Uber drivers won't cross the border.
- Sun Metro Brio bus 50 connects ELP to downtown El Paso.
- Summer heat (100°F+) makes outdoor wait at the rideshare zone uncomfortable — wait inside until your driver is 1 minute out.
- ELP rideshare wait jumps when several flights land at once — give it 5-10 minutes after landing for the surge to ease before requesting.
