Pick the endpoint that fits
Line 103 begins at La Laguna Intercambiador and ends at Puerto de la Cruz station, making it useful when neither airport nor Santa Cruz is your starting point. Line 102 also links the two by the TF-5 motorway between Santa Cruz and Puerto station, but TITSA times it only at those two ends, so it is not on this board; its page lists the departures.
Botánico direction rule
TITSA notes that toward Santa Cruz or La Laguna, Jardín Botánico is not a set-down stop unless the bus is stopping to pick up passengers.
