Tenerife general strike: TITSA runs 75%, tram 70%

What changes for visitors on 11 November?

On Wednesday 11 November, TITSA runs 75% of its usual trips on Tenerife. That applies to the island's city and intercity routes.

The other 25% may be cancelled or run differently, TITSA says. Routes in the wider area, the north and the south are affected, and so is the airport link.

If you are heading to the airport from a southern resort, allow extra time. None of the available reports names the route numbers that will not run.

Residents and commuters should expect cancellations and waits. Trips that are not on the TITSA list belong to the guaranteed minimum service, so passengers can count on them.

How will the tram run on Tenerife?

The Metrotenerife tram runs a 70% minimum service on lines 1 and 2 on 11 November. According to the reports, the normal weekday timetable applies, from 06:00 to 24:00.

One source mentions a lower frequency but gives no figure. How many minutes will separate the trams therefore remains open.

Metrotenerife says it respects the right to strike and the right of its staff to work. The company regrets any inconvenience to customers.

Current notices appear on the displays at the stops. Tranvía de Tenerife also posts updates on Facebook, Instagram and X.

How do I check whether my trip is running?

TITSA publishes a list of affected trips, routes and timetables on its official website. The company advises checking timetables and affected trips there beforehand.

The list is a PDF, and we could not assess its contents for this article. If you have a flight on Wednesday, it is best to look on Tuesday evening.

The sources say nothing about fares, refunds or replacement transport. Nor is it known whether extra buses or special taxi rules will apply.

Why is there a strike, and who decides the minimum services?

According to the reports, the general strike on 11 November hits road transport and the tram on Tenerife. They give housing, wages and workers' rights as the reasons.

There is no evidence of a separate strike by TITSA's own staff. The minimum services belong to the general strike, not to a pay dispute inside the company.

The Cabildo de Tenerife (the island government) decided to secure public transport as a minimum service, which is where the 75% comes from. No official Cabildo document on this was available during our research.

TITSA is the Cabildo's public bus company, and its president is Rosa Dávila. Island councillor Eulalia García is responsible for mobility.

The confirmed reports do not name the unions calling the strike. They also give no confirmed period for the strike.

How did the last transport strike go at TITSA?

During the Spain-wide road passenger transport strike on 28 and 29 November 2024, TITSA ran 75% on its intercity routes. City services in La Laguna also ran at 75%, and those in Santa Cruz at 80%.

Several Santa Cruz routes ran at 100% back then because there is no alternative, including the 909, 916 and 917. That pattern cannot be applied to 2026.

TITSA carried more than 87 million passengers in 2025, a record, the Cabildo says. That is around 5 million more than the year before.

Frequent intercity users have travelled free since January 2023. According to Diario de Avisos, the Cabildo confirmed on 10 December 2025 that the scheme continues, and it pays 60% of the cost.

What is still unclear?

The sources name no route numbers that will not run on 11 November. They also give no details of the rules on the other islands.

According to details not yet cross-checked, the general strike lasts 24 hours, from 00:00 to 24:00. The sources set no restriction for anyone travelling on Thursday.

Binding information comes only from TITSA and Tranvía de Tenerife. Both point to their own channels.
