Las Palmas boasts a bus system, provided by the company ''Guaguas Municipales''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.guaguas.com/ |title=Inicio |publisher=Guaguas.com |access-date=11 March 2011 |archive-date=11 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110311192626/http://www.guaguas.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Municipal Bus Lines offers 40 urban transport routes. The main lines are the 1 (Teatro – Puerto), 2 (Alameda de Colón – Puerto), 17 (Teatro – El Rincón), 25 (Campus Universitario – El Rincón), 12 (Puerto – Hoya de la Plata) and 30 (Alameda de Colón – Santa Catalina, via Rehoyas). In addition, two circular lines (A: Santa Catalina – Santa Catalina, via Alcaraveneras) and B (Santa Catalina – Santa Catalina, via Ciudad Alta).

The most important bus lines have frequencies of between 3{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}} and 15 minutes during the day and between 10 and 40 minutes at night; some lines have service throughout the night. The bright yellow buses are known simply as 'guaguas'.

The 10-ride ticket ('bono de diez') was once a disposable paper card ticket with magnetic stripe at one time widely available in city shops. This is now replaced by a reusable plastic card issued by the company which may be re-charged in multiples of 10 at bus stations and at machines situated at various sites such as public libraries. The Tarjeta Insular (Island Card) which offered a 20% discount on both municipal buses and Global buses was discontinued on 1 January 2011.

A separate bus company ''Global'' with distinctive blue color, inter-hire company, has 119 lines, many to or from the capital. This company was formed 17 March 2000, resulting from the merger of the previous Salcai and interurban lines Utinsa.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Company: Global|url=https://www.guaguasglobal.com/en/empresa/|access-date=2021-05-16|website=Global SU|language=en-US|archive-date=16 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210516222502/https://www.guaguasglobal.com/en/empresa/|url-status=live}}</ref>

There is also the ''Guagua Turística'', which covers the most interesting sites of the city with a guide in several languages.
