Second-hand bus, one careful owner
Times is hard, very hard. While searching for something at the TITSA (Transportes interurbanos de Tenerife, the only public bus company in Tenerife) website, I couldn't help noticing an animated advert in the sidebar for "Sale of used vehicles."
It was well known that TITSA's finances were not in the best of health, which is why they were taken over by the Island Corporation in 2007, but one has to imagine that things have gotten worse. Well, it's either that, or they have lots of new buses to take their place, but that doesn't quite fit in with crisis.
They really do provide a brilliant service. Tenerife natives don't appreciate this, but TITSA services are MUCH more frequent, clean, friendly, on-time and very, very cheap compared to British buses. Use them: keep them afloat, 'coz you know what they say, you never know what you got 'til it's gone.
Meanwhile, can we interest you in this nice Scania, for only 3,600 euros?
yup, u'r right about cleanness and cheapness and on-time coming TITSA buses - tho i haven't much to compare with, i loved using those buses while on Tenerife in last october. And they go almost everywhere, even to Teide National park, as i understand.
Much more pleasant than here, in Russia (sad, but this is the situation w public transport here hehehe))
