Which buses run on Gran Canaria on 11 November?

The AUTGC (Autoridad Única del Transporte de Gran Canaria, the island's single transport authority) has set minimum services for Wednesday 11 November. They apply from 00:00 to 24:00, so they cover early shifts, late journeys home and trips at dawn.

Guaguas Municipales has published special timetables for 42 lines, and Global for 12. A listed line does not automatically keep all its usual trips, and the gaps between buses vary through the day.

The 12 Global lines are numbers 12, 30, 50, 60, 80, 91, 100, 103, 210, 216, 301 and 303. The material available does not say which of them serve the southern resorts.

Global line 1 between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Puerto de Mogán, the busiest line in 2025, is not on the published list of 12. Whether and how it runs on 11 November is not documented, so anyone living or holidaying in the south should ask the operator beforehand.

How do I get to the airport on 11 November?

Under the minimum-service timetable, Global line 60 runs from Santa Catalina from 05:15 until 22:15. The last departure from the airport is at 23:15.

For early flights, the first departure at 05:15 is what counts. The material available shows no bus alternative for anyone who must be at the airport earlier.

All times refer to departure from the starting point, not to stops along the way. Add the journey time and any change yourself, especially if you have a flight.

What applies to the city buses in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?

Line 1 between Teatro and Puerto starts at both ends at 05:30. The last departures are at 22:05 from Teatro and 22:25 from Puerto.

On line 12 between Puerto and Hoya de la Plata, the first bus leaves Puerto at 06:40 and the last at 22:20. From Hoya de la Plata the times are 06:00 and 22:30, but these end times do not show what runs in between.

Express line 10 serves the Hospital Universitario de Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín from Teatro between 06:15 and 21:15. Return trips run between 06:40 and 20:40, and lines 9, 11, 21 and 24 also serve the hospital.

Line 26 runs to the Campus Universitario de Tafira from Santa Catalina between 06:40 and 22:27. Buses back from the campus leave between 06:35 and 21:49.

Line 91 links Teatro and Tamaraceite, running from Teatro between 06:25 and 22:30 and from Tamaraceite between 06:23 and 21:05. Full tables with every departure exist only for lines 10, 26 and 91.

Do the app and Bono top-ups work on the strike day?

The Guaguas Municipales app will not be updated on the strike day. Buses on minimum service show this on their destination board.

Bono top-up points work on 11 November, except in Ciudad Alta and at the Obelisco. Nothing was found on prices, refunds or changed Bono rules for the strike day.

Global carried 49,844,960 passengers in 2025 according to published figures, its fourth record in a row. Line 1 was the busiest, with more than 5.6 million passengers.

The operators' websites the official website and the official website, and the authority's the official website, are the first places to check. No separate advice from the authorities for 11 November is known.

Why is there a strike on 11 November?

The general strike lasts 24 hours and is backed by CCOO and UGT together with CGT, CNT and other organisations. It is the first general strike in the Canary Islands in 14 years.

The main cause is the housing crisis, with rising rents and purchase prices, plus low wages and a high cost of living. The unions cite the eviction of “Maricarmen” as the case that focused the discontent.

Ignacio Hernández of CCOO says: “Housing is a right, not a business.” Around the strike call, a figure of 211,000 empty homes is quoted, but who compiled it remains unclear.

Employers' associations criticise the strike and some call it illegal, while the government says it respects the right to strike. The Canarian general secretaries of CCOO and UGT, Vanesa Frahija and Manuel Navarro, deny that it is a political strike but admit a political element.

What is still open, and what comes next?

The AUTGC has not published what percentage of trips it requires for 11 November. Strike turnout and the times and places of rallies on Gran Canaria are also open.

For the general strike of 15 October 2025, an AUTGC decision of 14 October demanded 75% of services. That is a comparison, not a requirement for 11 November.

In the inter-city bus strike of September 2025, 75% applied on Gran Canaria according to reports at the time. On 18 September, 88 buses stayed in the depot and passengers crowded at the stops.

For the transport strike on 28 and 29 November 2024, services were meant to run as on a public holiday. Guaguas Municipales then announced at least 184 of 368 regular drivers, which is half.

Daniel Casal of the Federación Sindical Canaria (FSC) said a regional general strike could follow later, depending on turnout. General elections are on 29 November.
