Going somewhere specific?
"The center" is not one place, and the answer changes
Every bus leaves from the bays outside departures on floor 1, one level up from arrivals. The 60 and 91 to Las Palmas use the bay signed "Aeropuerto LP Expres"; the 66, 90 and 91 to the southern resorts use "Aeropuerto Sur Expres" next to it.
Tickets
Pay the driver as you board, after naming your stop: cash with change as exact as you can (notes up to EUR 20), or a contactless bank card or phone at the same price. Keep the ticket or the card you paid with until you get off; there is no machine at the stop.
The taxi rank
The rank is outside the terminal on floor 0, arrivals. Take a taxi only from the signed rank, ignore anyone offering a ride elsewhere, and ask for the receipt if you need to complain. The meter starts at EUR 3.85 by day or 4.25 at night, plus a EUR 2.10 airport supplement.
At night
After the 23:15 line 60 there is no timetabled bus to Las Palmas until 06:15. Line 1 from Puerto de Mogán to San Telmo passes the "Aeropuerto LP" bay through the night, leaving Puerto de Mogán at 00:30 or 00:40, 01:40 and 02:40, an hour and more away; its airport times are not published, so check the stop display or take the taxi rank on floor 0.
Luggage
A bag bigger than 40 × 40 × 20 cm goes in the hold under the bus; tell the driver before you open it, and watch it at the stops. Smaller bags stay with you, under the seat or on your lap. No charge for luggage.

Worth knowing
Global's line 60 is the only public transport into Las Palmas: EUR 2.30 to the San Telmo station by the old town, EUR 2.95 to Santa Catalina by the port and Las Canteras beach. Every 30 minutes from 06:15, then 21:15, 22:15 and a last bus at 23:15, every day.
Tell the driver where you are getting off before you pay: the fare is by distance, and the driver needs the stop to charge it. Pay in cash with change as exact as you can (notes up to EUR 20) or tap a contactless bank card or phone at the same price.
After the 23:15 line 60, line 1 from Puerto de Mogán to San Telmo still calls at the airport through the night, but its times are published only for Puerto de Mogán (00:30 or 00:40, 01:40, 02:40, then 05:25), an hour and more up the road. Check the next bus on the stop display before you count on it.
