Some bus operators increased fares on 1st January,
including VAMUS. But as of today their fares have not been updated
on the website..
I have updated bus fares as best I can from other information.
Apologies for any errors.
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.
