Timekeeping is affected by traffic congestion in
Faro especially at rush hours. The buses make a circuit of Faro
and they are not allowed sufficient time.
They are also VERY overcrowded on schooldays. You have been
warned!
Loulé has a fun one-way traffic system and the
buses stop at different places inbound and outbound.
Click here for a map of
Loulé centre showing the bus stops and the two market locations.
Will open in a new window.
Loulé indoor market and Praça Republica - click picture to see
