ETRA submitted a request to Autoridad Única del Transporte (AUT) to terminate the contract for managing the bus ticket system on Gran Canaria. The contract was signed on 20 February 2024 with a six-month implementation period. It is currently stalled.

ETRA states the situation is serious and prevents further action. The company cites lack of cooperation from operators including Global and Guaguas Municipales. There are delays and contradictory instructions. ETRA faces penalties for delays it does not cause. ETRA has spent over 10 million euros from a 26 million euro budget. It has received almost no payments.

ETRA claims further contract execution is technically, economically, and legally impossible. The current contract is the fourth extension. It ends on 30 September.
