Every 30–60 minutes, TITSA 104 links TFN with Santa Cruz
TITSA Line 104 runs from Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport (TFN, Terminal T) to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto de la Cruz, giving you a direct public bus option instead of a €25–€30 taxi. Buses use the stop just outside the arrivals area, so you walk less than 200–300 meters from baggage claim to the stand.
Daytime frequency usually sits around every 30–60 minutes, with service stretching from early morning into the evening; late at night the gaps grow longer, so check the exact timetable before landing. The ride from TFN to Santa Cruz Intercambiador takes roughly 20–30 minutes, while TFN to Puerto de la Cruz often lands in the 30–45 minute range depending on traffic on the TF-5.
Tickets on TITSA 104 cost only a handful of euros per person, often under €5 for the airport to Santa Cruz segment, paid directly to the driver or via contactless card or travel card where accepted. Compared to a taxi at €25+ for the same distance, two people can save more than €40 on a round trip just by using this bus both ways.
The bus stop at TFN sits on the terminal forecourt, signed with the green TITSA branding and the route number 104, so you are not hunting around different levels. Digital displays usually show the next departure time in minutes, and the front of the bus itself shows the destination as “Santa Cruz” or “Puerto de la Cruz,” making it easy to confirm you are on Line 104 and not a local La Laguna line.
Buses on Line 104 have standard 2+2 seating, overhead luggage racks, and space by the front door for bigger bags, but in busy afternoon peaks you might stand for part of the 20–30 minute run to Santa Cruz. Drivers sell single tickets on board, and change is possible but slower, so bringing smaller notes under €20 speeds things up and keeps the boarding line moving.
One practical tip: if you are landing after 21:00, pull up the official TITSA timetable while still on airport Wi‑Fi in Terminal T so you know if the next Line 104 is 10 minutes away or 55 minutes away before you walk past the taxi rank.
