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.
They are also VERY overcrowded on schooldays. You have been warned!

AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE BETWEEN ALBUFEIRA AND MAR SHOPPING VIA QUARTEIRA

This may be useful to those staying in the Santa Eulália, Balaia and Olhos De Água area as it avoids back tracking into Albufeira.
Separate tickets are needed for each bus unless you have a tourist pass or pre paid pass
BUSES MARKED IN GREEN BOXES RUN ONLY ON WEEKDAYS!!
The 1957 bus from Quarteira is the last bus to Albufeira
