What initially appeared to be a “surreal” scene in downtown Santa Cruz de Tenerife, captured in a video that went viral on TikTok, now has an official explanation. The footage, shared by user @soniasoneji, showed an individual preventing a Titsa bus from moving forward, demanding to board the vehicle.

This Monday, Canarian Television revealed the technical reasons that justified the driver's refusal to yield to the pedestrian's pressure. The main reason was not a lack of willingness or an oversight on the driver's part, but a circumstance beyond their control.

Many social media users wondered why the driver kept the doors closed despite the blockade. The answer, according to the information released, is that the bus stop in question was disabled due to a risk of landslides, which prevented the bus from stopping and passengers from boarding at that specific point.
