The weekday buses
at 0800, 0900 and at every hour run via Rua Malpique (Cerro Mar
Garden) at 7 minutes past the hour and are slightly later at
the Câmara and beyond.
On winter weekends and holidays, only those at 0800, 1000, 1200,
1400, 1600 and 1800.
These are now the only buses that go down to Rua Alves Correeia
(old town centre) and to Pau da Bandeira (top of the escalators).
Connections with Giro buses to and from most other areas can be
made at the Cãmara Municipal.
All routes to other parts of town stop there except 5, 6 and 8.
