News as of 27th September 2025

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.
