The information has been obtained from printed timetables and other local sources (like taking the bus) and is given in good faith.

Timetable from 1st June 2023 to 31st October 2023 subject to alteration etc etc!

Operated by VAMUS

THIS TIMETABLE SHOWS ALL BUSES BETWEEN LAGOS, PORTIMÃO, ALBUFEIRA AND FARO ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT ROUTES.
FOR A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE BUSES BETWEEN MAIN TOWNS ONLY, PLEASE CLICK HERE.
For a diagram of these bus routes click or tap here
A LIST OF THE OTHER BUSES BETWEEN VARIOUS PLACES IS AT THE END OF THIS TIMETABLE

57 - Lagos - Faro 'TRANSRÁPIDO' bus. Stops only at the places shown in the timetable plus some other locations in the city of Faro and
Portimâo Hospital about 5 minutes before Portimão itself.
51 - 'Linha Litoral' Lagos - Albufeira fast bus. Stops only at the places shown in the timetable plus Portimão Hospital
56 - 'Aerobus' Lagos - Faro via the airport.  Stops only at the places shown in the timetable. HIGHER FARES ARE CHARGED.

MOST BUSES ON ROUTE 56 RUN ONLY UNTIL 31st OCTOBER!
 9(D) and 66(D) - DIRECTA bus between Albufeira and Faro. Misses out some stops in Albufeira and Vilamoura. Details here.

TICKETS - IF BOARDING AT A BUS TERMINAL YOU MUST BUY YOUR TICKET AT THE TICKET WINDOW BEFORE GETTING ON THE BUS.
ALLOW A FEW MINUTES FOR THIS ESPECIALLY AT FARO. OTHERWISE BUY YOUR TICKET FROM THE DRIVER AS USUAL

CONNECTIONS - In my experience, I would not trust any connection of less than 15 minutes. Buses usually DO NOT WAIT for another late running service.
