Timekeeping is
affected by traffic congestion in Faro especially at rush hours.
The buses make a circuit of Faro and they are not allowed
sufficient time.
The 1600 and 1715 buses from Faro to Albufeira are
notorious in this respect (from personal experience) and are
usually 15 - 20 minutes late by the time they get to
Loulé.
They are also VERY overcrowded on schooldays - you will
literally have to fight your way on board at Loulé. You have
been warned!
Loulé has a fun one-way traffic system and the
buses stop at different places inbound and outbound.
Click here
for a map of Loulé centre showing the bus stops and the two market
locations. Will open in a new window.
Loulé indoor market and Praça Republica - click
