Bono Residente Titsa 10-point Bonobus guide

Why the Bono Residente Canarias may be an immense saving

Bono Residente Canario which includes expats is reduced in price again by Titsa Tenerife Transport by buses in April 2019, as depicted

It's not just for interurban Guaguas and Tranvia. It also allows you to travel long distances and as often as you wish during day or night.
Hence for example, it would be a huge saving if you wanted to use the bus just twice a day to go from Puerto de la Cruz to Los Gigantes for work or pleasure.

Also, you save time, as there's no need to apply for Bono Residente cards for different Canary Islands.
Unfortunately, it's not suited for the normal tourist. But there's the option of the Tenmás card now. (info by clicking on the photo)

Is the latest discount better for the elderly than the Bono Residente?

In case you have missed the link above, this is possible since February 01, 2019 on all Islands. This new reduced bus fare option is indeed best for pensioners. Discover the new price for unlimited travel with  Tenerife buses for residents that are older than 65 years.

What is the purpose of such highly subsidized cards?

Both Cabildos of Gran Canaria as well as of Tenerife who take four yearly turns of government for all Canary Islands decided it's very important to reduce the land traffic, hence the congestion by vehicles on the archipelago. The so called Bono for Canary residents is only one of several measures that were taken. Of course, healthy environments in all Canary Islands are vital for both locals and tourists.
