QUEUEING IN TENERIFE |  New initiatives to reduce queues in Tenerife: impact on education and healthcare sectors

On an island with as many good traditions as Tenerife, there also has to be some bad ones. One of them is, undoubtedly, the queues on the main routes of transportation. The Cabildo continues to work to make this less common and become an unusual sight.

After a first set of actions, which incentivized public transport, launched two shuttle buses from the North to ULL, or reinforced nine Titsa lines, a new plan is being prepared to tackle the queues.

Following an interview on Radio Club Tenerife, Mobility councillor Eulalia García outlined the two upcoming courses of action:

  • Short-term: works on interchanges, although they may take longer than desired due to “going through their administrative procedure”.
  • Complementary measures: improving public transport remains a priority for the current administration, as “we have to strengthen it if we want people to make more use of it”.

The educational and healthcare sector, a priority

There is no need for a study to know that many of the vehicles traveling during rush hour are students, teachers, workers in the education sector, healthcare professionals, or patients.

In the case of the University of La Laguna, efforts have been made to stagger entry and exit times. This is aimed at ensuring that the more than 25,000 students, as well as faculty and other educational staff, do not all hit the roads at the same time, significantly reducing traffic density.

Furthermore, the Education Department is also considering increasing school transport. According to Eulalia García, “it needs to be reorganized. We all know that it’s quite burdensome for many parents”.

Not only the education sector will be affected by the proposed changes. One of the goals also focuses on healthcare infrastructure. Improving the operation of the healthcare service in the North and South would result in fewer journeys to the University Hospital of the Canaries for tests, analytics, or specialist appointments.

The councillor remains firm in favour of the shuttle buses and aims to expand this type of transportation in the North and also introduce this public service in the South: “I hope to reinforce. Right now, we only have them in the North, but what we need is more vehicles and drivers”.
