News as of 19th October 2025

The official railway website was changed recently.
I had many changes to make, which are now, I hope, all correct. The new English language home page - https://www.cp.pt/en

No recent changes to local timetables.
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.
