Cool is called this type of transport - "Guagua". If you do not take into account the tram that runs along the capital of Santa Cruz, then the buses on Tenerife are the most convenient view of public transport. By bus you can get to any major "tourist" place of the island. Transport company "TITSA" Flights to the capital, to the airport, to the Tadeid volcano and all the sights of Tenerife.
At the bus station you can get free map of the island with traffic schedule . The minimum fare is 1.25 Euro . In the information office (referred to by the "I") lettering) issue shock location schemes.

Usually, Over a kilometer take one euro; When landing in a daytime, the day is paid 1.7 Euro, And in dark – 2,1 . I advise you to look at the counter in the cabin cars - It happens that the acting dachshund does not correspond to the one that is indicated on Masha In. Travel at night and for the city is more expensive. The chasters do not always know English, but it is usually not a hindrance for mutual understanding: the main thing is that you call the name of the hotel or another destination, and you will be taken away. Tips can give, or you can not - here this charity is not a mandatory "point" of communication. The car can be found on a special parking for a taxi or call from a hotel or restaurant.
