Supply/demand hasn't hit that price point yet, I guess.
Getting to border: if no car you have 2 options - train/trolley is cheaper but slower (hour-ish), Uber/Lyft is faster but more expensive, probably $25-$30.
Oddly is cheaper to get to border in Uber than it is to airport, likely due to the dynamic fares for high-demand locations.
You can also do the combo, Uber to downtown, and Blue Line to la linea. It's about 45 minute ride, though it *can* get crowded at times. And they DO check for valid tickets on the train at times.
