WARNING! The official railway website was changed
during the week. Many links I have to their information are no
longer working!
I have many changes to make. In the meantime this link will take
you to the English language home page - https://www.cp.pt/en
No recent changes to local timetables. Winter times
on the local buses around Albufeira, Faro, Lagos and Portimão are
now in effect.
On VAMUS regional buses summer times apply until 31st
October.
WARNING!! Contactless card payment is NOT accepted on buses in the
Algarve except on 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 30%.
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.
