Rede Expressos tickets are currently on sale 1 month in advance.

THESE JOURNEYS OPERATED BY REDE EXPRESSOS AND ITS PARTNERS RUN FROM AND TO THE MAIN BUS STATION AT ALBUFEIRA CALIÇOS
otherwise known as Terminal Rodoviário - location map here
 This is 1.6km / 1 mile from the old town and 'strip' - more information about local buses and taxis here.

MOST JOURNEYS ARE NON STOP EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF CALL AT A MOTORWAY SERVICE STATION EN ROUTE.
IN LISBON MOST JOURNEYS USE THE SETE RIOS BUS STATION

ORIENTE IS MUCH NEARER LISBON AIRPORT.

Rede-Expressos passengers can, they say, use local VAMUS buses free of charge (provided you have a Rede Expressos ticket of course!) to travel to or from the Albufeira bus station stop. I have never met anyone who has actually done this.
