In a statement, the Insular Minister of Mobility and President of Titsa, Enrique Arriaga, explained that “the objective is to adjust the supply of services to the demand generated with the beginning of classes in schools and institutes and the return to work” .
“In this way, we adapt the service to the needs of users so that the bus is the first option for citizens compared to the private vehicle,” he said.
With the new schedule, lines 014 and 015, which link Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Laguna, will have more frequencies at peak hours on business days.
In addition, Expeditions are added on different routes in the southern area to attend the entrances and exits of the institutes. Thus, the lines that connect with the IES Galeón (417, 447, 471, 473), IES Los Cristianos (418, 424, 447, 471, 473, 483), IES Adeje (417, 447, 471,473), IES Granadilla (35, 408, 410, 412, 416, 419, 430, 463, 484), IES Guía de Isora (492), IES Las Galletas (470, 486), IES El Médano (411, 470), IES San Miguel (484, 486) and IES Tamaimo (461, 462).
The 050 (La Laguna-Tegueste-Bajamar-Punta del Hidalgo) reduces services and eliminates the last trip on weekdays, but keeps beach reinforcements on weekends through October. These reinforcements also remain until the same month on the 110 (Santa Cruz de Tenerife-Costa Adeje interchange) and 138 (Santa Cruz de Tenerife-Radazul-Tabaiba interchange).
Route 122 (interchange Santa Cruz de Tenerife-Las Caletillas-Candelaria) also changes to winter timetables.
Likewise, the 108, which links the Los Realejos link with the capital’s interchange, adds trips in a few hours in the morning from La Orotava and at noon from Santa Cruz de Tenerife; while reinforcements are maintained until October on the Teno line (369) and the Masca line (355).
Changes in urban services
With the new schedule, in the urban service of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the frequency at peak hours of lines 934 (interchange-Taco-Santa María del Mar-Añaza-interchange) and 905 (north pier-Ofra) is increased.
On the other hand, the frequency of line 910 (interchange-Las Teresitas beach) is reduced on weekdays and weekends.
In the urban service of La Laguna, the 224 (interchange La Laguna-Valle de Guerra-Tejina-Punta del Hidalgo) will return to provide services in the morning on weekends, since in summer it only operates in the afternoon.
Likewise, line 546, which connects Realejo Alto with El Socorro beach, will stop providing service as of next Sunday, September 12.
Finally, facing the start of classes at the University of La Laguna, the transport company plans to recover line 126 and the special service between faculties, 610.
