INFORMATION CHECKED AND UPDATED WHERE NECESSARY
ON 24th SEPTEMBER 2024
For confirmed times and tickets for Rede Expressos
please visit the official website here or use their app
Rede Expressos tickets are currently on sale maximum 1 month in
advance.
For Flixbus tickets go to www.flixbus.pt or use their
app
For options for journeys to or from Spain, please click or tap here.
This page has been created with information taken from on line and printed timetables, the official websites and checked locally whenever possible.
Please read! This page summarises some of the long-distance
services operated by the Rede
Expressos consortium (and some other companies) from Lisbon
and Porto to and from some of the more requested tourist
destinations in Portugal, in particular the Algarve. I have some
of the current timetable leaflets for Rede-Expressos routes to and
from Lisbon, so if there is a place you are looking for that is
not included below, please email
me with your query. Please however read the whole page and
check the websites first, as I do have a real life.The basic point
to point times can be checked by selecting origin and destination
then OK BUT THEN NOT selecting a particular date. The days and
dates of running are shown only in Portuguese, so ensure you
properly understand this information. The expressions in
Portuguese for days of the week are quite unlike anywhere else!
2ª = Monday, 3ª = Tuesday, 4ª = Wednesday 5ª = Thursday and 6ª =
Friday while Sábado and Domingo you will recognise. Até means
'until' while Entre means 'between' and A partir de means ' from
the date...'.
You must always re-check times for the EXACT date you wish to
travel when tickets are available, a maximum 30 days in advance. I
have done my best below to indicate the approximate level of
service. In the absence of a general timetable, it is far too time
consuming to check every date for every destination!
This can be viewed here and will open a
new window or tab. Many small towns may have only one or two
journeys a day, a few not even daily service. CHECK THE
TIMETABLES!!
Seat reservations are required for all Rede Expressos services.
You can normally reserve on-line up to 30 days ahead of travel at
the website, by telephone or at the bus terminals or ticket
agents. Rede-Expressos tickets can be purchased at the website
using credit cards or PayPal. There is only a limited refund
available for tickets purchased on line, but this is never given
after the booked journey has departed. Check the terms and
conditions here.
When in the payment process, you will see a section labelled
INVOICE DATA. If you are not a Portuguese tax payer IGNORE THIS
COMPLETELY!! Please take a look at a screen capture here.
If you are a Portuguese tax payer, you will know what this means.
The Rede-Expressos ticketing systems allow you to book a through
ticket from just about anywhere to anywhere else. Any change of
vehicle required (always in Lisbon if that's on your route) is
clearly indicated. Don't forget that Lisbon is 'LISBOA' in
Portuguese. However sometimes you will need two separate tickets.
Your ticket will show VIATURA (route or vehicle number) which is
on the front of the vehicle and also shown on departure screens at
larger bus stations. If in doubt, ask. On some routes you will
also be assigned a seat number (lugar) which is also shown on your
ticket. However on many services you sit where you like.
Many ticket offices and agents in small towns keep limited hours, especially at weekends and on holidays. Many calls are just a bus stop. If you turn up, with no ticket, at the last moment and the next bus is full, you will be sold a ticket for the first bus on which there is a seat, which might be tomorrow! If you are making a long journey and do not have a ticket, be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your departure time or buy a ticket on line. Tickets purchased via the website can be either self print or sent to a suitable mobile device.
A list of Rede-Expressos ticket offices and sales agents can be
found on their website, then choose the place
you need from the list. In some places the ticekt agenct and
stopping place may be different. The maps will show this. Rede
- Expressos call centre number is 707 22 33 44 available 0800 -
2100 daily.
WIFI is available on all vehicles normally used in service. There
will however be many remote areas with poor or non-existent
connection. At busy times, extra vehicles 'borrowed' and pressed
into service may not have wifi
As a VERY rough indication of the cost, an hour's ride with Rede
Expressos will cost you €7.00, but the longer the journey, the
cheaper it gets. Rede-Expressos is a group of several operators,
so your vehicle may have a different company name on it.
A return (round-trip) ticket is a little cheaper than two one-way
tickets. However you can only buy a return ticket if your trip is
with 30 days of booking, both ways.Discounted tickets, half the
standard price or less, are often available when purchased in
advance via the website or app.
Children under 4 years
who do not occupy a seat travel free. Children aged 4 to 13 years
travel half price. Once they are 14, they pay full fare, unless
holding a local student or youth discount card.
Seniors - those 65 years or older have a small discount on
the normal fare. Photo ID must be carried on the journey as proof.
These are very busy times on all the long distance routes. You
are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance wherever possible!
On many routes there are extra journeys on Fridays and Sundays
during the University and College term time, which is from the
second Monday in September until the 30th June. I cannot show all
these in the time tables below, but they will be available on the
official websites. All long distance routes are subject to
alteration around major holidays eg Christmas, New Year and
Easter. It is impossible for me to include all these variations
here. Intending travellers should especially be aware that :
Low cost international operator FLIXBUS have greatly expanded
within Portugal, in direct competition with Rede Expressos on many
key routes. You must consult their website www.flixbus.com
or use their app to discover where and when they run. During
winter some of their routes do not run every day. Timetables seem
to change frequently. Be aware that Flixbus sometimes do not use a
town's main bus station. Check the stopping place carefully. Flixbus have ticket agents in
some towns, but not necessarily at the stopping place. Consult
their website or app for information. With Flixbus it is
expected that you buy tickets using their app or website. on
boardTheir fares can be ridiculously cheap, but don't expect any
additional customer service.
Most of the REDE EXPRESSOS services on this page run from
and to the LISBON SETE RIOS bus terminal. This is 3 miles
/ 5 km from the city centre, but is well served by city buses (http://carris.pt/
for details), the Metro (Jardim Zoológico station; http://metrolisboa.pt/
for details) and by suburban trains to Sete Rios station (www.cp.pt Urbanos
Lisboa). In all cases allow at least 20 minutes to make your
connection, as it is a bit of a maze around there. If you are
arriving at Sete Rios and need a taxi, there is a taxi rank to the
left of the exit. Sete Rios is about 5.7miles / 9.2 km from the
airport - see below for travel options.
Rede Expressos also use the LISBON GARE ORIENTE terminal,
which is next to the railway and metro stations of the same name.
This is about 5.75 miles / 9.0 km from the city centre but
only 2.9km /1.8 miles the airport, with a direct metro
connection. I have marked where known which journeys use
Oriente rather than Sete Rios. A few trips to and from the Algarve
towns call at both. Some cities and towns in the north of the
country also have service to and from both Sete Rios and Oriente,
so check times to and from both.
Some routes use both Sete Rios and Oriente. It is always worth
checking times at both, especially if you are travelling from or
to Lisbon Airport.
FLIXBUS use the LISBON GARE ORIENTE for all services.
RODOVÍARIO DO TEJO and RODOVIARIAOESTE are regional
operators (websites via this page www.rodotejo.pt)
whose 'rápidas' buses to the popular tourist destination of Óbidos
use LISBON CAMPO GRANDE bus station, which is next to the
Metro station of the same name and about 4.5 miles / 7.3 km from
the city centre. There is allegedly a ticket office near the
metro station entrance but I never saw it. You can buy your
tickets on the bus. The CARRIS METROPOLITANA bus company,
for buses to Mafra and Ericeira among others, also use Campo
Grande but different stops.
A few other companies are mentioned in the timetables below as
required. For a longer list of regional bus operators in Portugal,
click here.
NONE of the long distance companies have departures from Lisbon
Airport. You will need to make your way to the appropriate bus
terminal. Approximate distances from the airport to the bus
terminals - Campo Grande 2.1 miles/3.3km , Oriente 1.8
miles/2.9km; Sete Rios 5.7miles/9.2km. Taxis and Uber are readily
available at the airport should you not wish to use metro
(underground / subway) train or bus.
Metro / subway / underground to Oriente or Sete Rios Railway
and Bus Stations
You can take a bus or the Metro (subway) from the airport across
town to Oriente or Sete Rios. The Metro runs every few minutes
from 6am to 1am daily and will take you to Oriente in about 7
minutes and Jardim Zoológico (for the Sete Rios terminal) in about
25 minutes. Tickets are €2,30 for any journey, which includes 50
cents for the rechargeable ticket card. You can pay by contactless
card at the lower price of €1,80.
City bus to Oriente Railway and Bus Station
Carris city bus 744 will take you to Gare Oriente. Cash
fare on this bus is €2,10. The bus will be going to MOSCAVIDE.
First bus 0650hrs weekdays and Saturdays, 0740hrs Sundays and
Holidays Last bus 2205hrs weekdays, 2150hrs Saturdays, Sundays and
Holidays. Buses run about every 16 minutes on weekdays, every 20 -
30 minutes at weekends. This bus runs less frequently on weekdays
during AUGUST.
Bus to Campo Grande - there isn't one!
There is no practicable route by metro and no direct bus link
between the airport and Campo Grande Norte for the bus terminal
there. Bus 783 from the airport, direction Amoreiras,
stops approx. 850 metres from the Campo Grande terminal. Lisbon
city bus maps and times are at www.http://carris.transporteslisboa.pt/.pt
Click to jump to the information you need. REDE EXPRESSOS is the
Portuguese national long distance bus (coach) operation. FLIXBUS
is their competitor on the more profitable routes. I can only
provide a summary here. CHECK EVERYTHING AT THE OFFICIAL
WEBSITES!!
On most Public Holidays the timetable is the same as
Sundays.Especially at Easter, Christmas and New Year. In addition,
many late evening and 'overnight' services do not run on December
24th and December 31st. Announcements are made about a month
beforehand.
