News as of 13th April 2025. No timetable changes to report but remember that here these can happen with almost no warning!
Fridays 18th and 25th April, also Thursday 1st May are public holidays.Trains and buses run to Sunday times on these days.
SUMMER timetables on some coastal routes may come into effect on 1st May. I cannot confirm that this will be so!
Contactless card payment is NOT accepted on buses in the Algarve except for the 'Proximo' buses in Faro city. A pre paid pass for VAMUS regional buses is obtainable at bus stations which reduces fares on their buses by around 33%. There is also an 'app' based account for VAMUS regional buses which can be used to the same effect. Local buses around the big towns have their own tickets and passes.
