News as of 13th July 2025

Personal circumstances mean that, for a few weeks, I may not be able to check regularly for changes to bus times.
They are unusual in summer, but can be announced with as little as two days notice. Apologies in advance if I miss anything! 
Summer times on the local buses around Albufeira, Faro, Lagos and Portimão are effect until 31st August.
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 33%.
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.
