It appears that there could be a new TITSA service from the airport to La Caleta (Adeje).

According to Canarias24Horas, taxi driver representatives from Arona, Granadilla, Adeje, San Miguel and Guia de Isora met yesterday in Arona Council offices to express their concern about TITSA's intention of establishing such a new service in a route currently serviced by taxi only.

Both Council and Taxi sources say that they recognize the need for TITSA connections between the airport and tourist areas, but argue that it would be better to maintain and strengthen existing services to the motorway interchanges at Los Cristianos and Las Americas.

The taxi representatives also requested that TITSA buses don't enter any tourist areas, a proposal which they will raise at a Tenerife Cabildo meeting next week.

The taxistas position is supported by Arona's Transport Councillor, Antonio Miguel García Marichal, and his counterpart in Granadilla, Juan José González Donate. Señor García Marichal says that TITSA hasn't actually requested formal authorisation to put up bus stop signs inside tourist areas, nor has it said anything to the Council about setting up this new line. In any case, he says, although the service is currently provided by the taxi sector it will be provided in the near future by the "urban transport" which the Council is currently setting up itself.

Sounds to me like the taxi drivers are fighting a doomed rearguard action one way or another, and that whether there really will be a TITSA service to La Caleta, there will in any case be other alternatives to being forced to use the taxi monopoly .....

Unbelievable!
The Cabildo has apparently folded under pressure from the Taxi driver lobby in a meeting held yesterday (Tuesday) and the new airport bus route is now reduced to only 7 stops when originally TITSA planned for 48 stops all the way along the coast!!
Another nail in the coffin?

I've copied GM's post to a new thread HERE for discussion on the taxi lobby.

Default Airport bus route

Thank you Janet, I think I know PLA quite well but most of these names mean nothing to me. I suppose none of them are near any tourist centres?

The Estación de Costa Adeje must be the main bus station just up from the Comisaria. The Palacio de Congresos is, I think, the hotel (or hotel complex) where all the archers are opposite the Safari Centre.

Avenida Chayofita is the dual carriageway where the Los Cristianos public swimming pool is ... don't know where they mean along there, but it goes all the way from the Apollo Centre roundabout to Andorra Apartments near the Green Hospital.

"Gómez Cuesta" must mean Avda Arquitecto Gómez Cuesta, which is where the Columbus Aparthotel is, and Oro Blanco/Negro. Intercambiador de Las Américas ... motorway junction. (not that you won't know, but just to fill it out for others).
