Unlike Fuerteventura, Lanzarote or Gran Canaria, Tenerife excels by welcoming its visitors with a more diverse range of public transport means. Thus, the contribution of bus, taxi and car hire operators is complemented by a further alternative, namely, by tramways.

By bus

The main bus operator in Tenerife is Titsa (Transportes Interurbanos de Tenerife SA). The network of lines made available by Titsa is meant to cover virtually the entire island, thus rendering it accessible to tourists’ exploration. There are several lines dedicated to connecting each of the two airports with the main popular destinations in Tenerife. These lines refer to the following routes: 102, 107, 108, 340 (dedicated to airport transfers from Los Rodeos) and 111, 340 and 343 (establishing connections with Reina Sofia). However, one can only imagine the abundance of lines, amounting to more than 150 routes, is more than able to yield reliable solutions for all tourists who want to explore Tenerife by resorting to this means of transport and with rather insignificant expenses, for that matter. For further details on routes, schedules and rates, use the following information:

By taxi

There are tens of taxi operators in Tenerife, each of them offering services virtually all tourists can resort to, regardless of their physical condition (disabled or not). As a rule, taxis stand out by their white color, which is conventional for this means of transport. They represent a reliable alternative in terms of getting around in Tenerife, though traveling by taxi is not the most economical solution. However, their efficiency overshadows their expensiveness. Taxi companies can be spotted throughout Tenerife, in particular in the most frequented tourist hotspots. The following are but two examples of the entire plethora of companies in Tenerife:

By tramway

The company in charge with the tramway transport is called Metropolitano de Tenerife (MTSA). Their approach and understanding of how this means of transport should operate lies between the enhancement of usefulness and environmental protection. The vehicles are highly modern, with facilities for all types of passengers. They are easy to use (as in getting in, getting out, validating the tickets), but, unfortunately, they only cover a single route, between Santa Cruz and La Laguna, crossing virtually the entire Metropolitan Area, east to west. However, more than 20 stops are ticked of by this line and a tramway trip from one terminal to the other takes about 40 minutes. For details on stops and schedule, on rates and how to validate the ticket, use the following information:

By car

In Tenerife there are tens of car rental companies. Their presence and offers give tourists who want to enjoy their vacation at their own pace the possibility to get around in Tenerife without depending on public transport means.

By boat

There are several sea line companies operating in Tenerife, but they dedicate their activity to transporting passengers from one island to another or, on the other hand, from Tenerife to the mainland Europe. Thus, they are practical in terms of how to get to Tenerife and of island hopping. Trasmediterranea, Naviera Armas and Fred. Olsen must be mentioned in this respect.
