Public transport in Tenerife should prepare for disruptions to bus services due to the national transport sector strike scheduled for today and tomorrow, November 28th and 29th, which will include reduced service on Tenerife’s buses operated by Transportes Interurbanos de Tenerife (TITSA).
To ensure basic mobility for users, authorities have mandated the following minimum service levels:
Certain lines in Santa Cruz, serving areas without alternative public transport options like taxis, will maintain full operation (100%). These include lines 909, 916, 917, 940, 944, 945, 946, 947, 971, and 975.
TITSA advises passengers to check for real-time updates on its official website (titsa.com) or through its usual communication channels.
Future Strike Actions
Unions have announced additional strike dates for December 5th and 9th, as well as an indefinite strike starting December 23rd if an agreement is not reached before that date.
The strike is backed by the FSC-CCOO union, while UGT has withdrawn its support after reaching an agreement with the Confebus employers’ association on November 23rd.
The FSC-CCOO has rejected this agreement, citing the lack of a concrete timeline for presenting requests for "reducing coefficients", a key measure in their demands.
According to FSC-CCOO, the agreement leaves the approval of this measure at the discretion of the government, which they deem inadequate. The union also points to the legal requirement under Article 206 of the General Social Security Law, which mandates that such requests be jointly submitted by both unions and employers. The union argues that this excludes unilateral agreements like the one reached by UGT.
