Tenerife Buses - TITSA - Transport

Most Tenerife buses (called guaguas pronounced 'wah wahs' by the locals) on Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain are run by TITSA. These Tenerife buses are very cheap, more comfy than many UK public buses.The Tenerife buses run frequently over the island's main roads. The bus service can be infrequent off the main roads.

Bus routes are called Lineas in Spanish.Buying a pre paid Bono Bus ticket approximately €12 euro for several trips saves between 30 to 50% of the fare, a great money saver.

A Tenerife bus route map and timetable is available. Check at the bus station near to the San Marino apartment complex in Los Cristianos see Map

Maps and timetables discount details are available on the website. Files can be downloaded.

• Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americana, San Eugenio (use for Puerto Colon), Torviscas, Playa del Duque

Tenerife Information - Tenerife buses Tips on the bus routes

• Each bus route (Lineas) has a number such as 473. The same number is used for Tenerife buses running in both directions on the route.
• Because of one way streets or the layout of the bus routes, you can find that buses for both directions may use the same bus stops, or you may have bus stops several metres appart but on the same side of the road. Can be confusing so double check the bus destination on the front of the bus.
• The route number and route is displayed on the front of the bus. The route includes where the bus came from and the destination. The lower name is the destination and on some Tenerife buses the lettering is larger for the destination. If you get on the wrong bus the driver will tell you.
• The English of some drivers is not very good. Spanish pronunciations of destination names can be very different from English ones. Tip write down the destination name before hand and show to driver.
