The Algarve region of Portugal - information on bus and train services

This is an unofficial website compiled by a resident of the Algarve. It has come about as a result of many enquiries in various forums. No responsibility can be accepted for any problems caused by errors or omissions.

This site is not connected with, nor endorsed by, any official operator or organisation. I welcome any feedback, comments and suggestions.

In all cases I strongly recommend that you check times locally at the bus terminal etc as timetable changes are usually made without prior warning!

All timetable pages carry the date on which I was last able to verify the times as being correct. I have used almost all the buses and trains myself.

NEWS and updates - latest - 8th March 2010


BUS MAP REVISED

I have updated the bus map to reflect the new and revised local bus routes around Portimão. Three new routes have been introduced around Portimão as part of the 'Vai e Vem' network. These routes improve the bus service considerably at places like Figueira, Mexilhoeira Grande, Montes da Cima, Porte de Lagos and Rasmalho. Details including timetables here. One route goes to the roundabout outside the Autodromo!

LONG DISTANCE SERVICES PAGE CHECKED

I have been able to check the summary page about long distance buses (coaches) and so far as I can tell there areno changes to report.

BUS OPERATORS ELSEWHERE IN PORTUGAL

I have separated the information about bus operators in other parts of Portugal to a new page.

THANK YOU

This site is being visted about 500 times a month. May I thank you for the positive comments and feedback I am receiving.

Contents - summary

For list of all the timetables on the site click here – BUT YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THE GUIDANCE NOTES first as, at first sight, the operations here can seem a bit complicated.

An alphabetical list of all the places in the Algarve served by bus and train is here. The list below shows the most frequently consulted pages in the site.

Why the site exists

I have built this site of local bus, train and ferry information here in the Algarve in response to many queries raised through various forums.

The main idea is to allow visitors and potential visitors to plan ahead by getting an understanding of the local public transport operations and the places they serve – and don’t! I recommend that wherever possible you check times locally.
Updates are continuous. Whenever I go somewhere, I check the information. Each timetable bears the date on which I was last able to verify it as being correct. Schedule changes are not very frequent, but do happen and usually without advance warning. Neither the website nor the bus station posts are used for this type of information and changes do happen without my being aware.

I live in the Algarve and use these buses and trains as I do not drive. Not all routes and services are included – I have left out those unlikely to be of use to visitors, for example some short schooldays only runs.

So far as I am aware I have on the site the timetable of every inter-urban bus route in the Algarve. I have not included full details of some of the local 'city' bus type operations. In some cases eg Lagos they have an excellent website to which I can redirect. In other cases eg Faro and Portimão the published information ranges from the poor to non-existent. You can make enquiries at teh local bus station if required.

As much as possible has been checked on the ground eg by using the buses concerned and/or obtaining the printed timetables, which are NOT published on the bus company’s websites.

The official website of the major local operator, EVA, can be found at www.eva-bus.com ; the other, smaller, company Frota Azul also a website. Both have limited timetable information, on buses to and from main destinations only, plus fares between major points.There are often differences between the information on the websites and the timetables at the bus stations etc. I use the printed information.

Some of the city and town councils operate local 'mini-bus' type routes around town and include information on their websites. I have included details and/or links in various pages as required. Please note that tickets are NOT interchangeable between these and other buses.

I would be pleased to receive any printed timetables. If you can scan or photo them please email them to me. I can then include the data in these pages.
