Train fares went up an average of 2.25% on 1st
January. Some information may be out of date while I make
corrections.
Some bus operators also increased fares, including VAMUS. But as
of today their fares have not been updated on the website..
I have updated bus fares as best I can. VAMUS fares will have
increased also by an average 2.25%.
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.
