IN LISBON MOST JOURNEYS USE THE SETE RIOS BUS STATION.

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 Portimão bus station stop. I have never met anyone who has actually done this.

ANOTHER COMPANY, FLIXBUS, CURRENTLY OPERATES ABOUT NINE JOURNEYS EVERY DAY BETWEEN PORTIMÃO AND LISBON ORIENTE
