iCross te dice cuánto vas a tardar en cruzar a Estados Unidos y por cuál puente te conviene irte. ESPERAS DE TODA LA FRONTERA Los tiempos que publica la aduana de Estados Unidos para cada puente y cada carril: autos, SENTRI, Ready Lane y peatones. Cada tarjeta dice si el puente está abierto o cerrado, y a qué hora vuelve a abrir. SMART TIME En los principales puentes de Reynosa, Matamoros y Nuevo Laredo, iCross suma a la espera de la aduana la fila que se forma en la calle, medida con el tráfico de este momento. El letrero oficial solo cuenta la fila de las casetas; SMART TIME cuenta lo que de verdad tardas. EL CRUCE RECOMENDADO Con tu ubicación, iCross te propone el puente cercano por el que cruzas más rápido ahora mismo. PARA PLANEAR Promedio por hora de cada día de la semana, el horario de cada puerto y de sus carriles de autos, y los avisos oficiales de la aduana traducidos al español. LO QUE PASA EN LA FRONTERA Un feed donde quien va cruzando comparte lo que se encuentra, con foto. Puedes comentar, reportar contenido y bloquear usuarios. TAMBIÉN Clima, tipo de cambio del día, noticias de tu zona, un resumen diario y la cartelera de conciertos y eventos cerca de ti. iCross no es una aplicación oficial y no tiene relación con U.S. Customs and Border Protection ni con ningún gobierno. Los tiempos son orientativos.
