21st April - Warning! - contactless payment is NOT
accepted on buses in the Algarve except for the 'Proximo' buses in
Faro city. A pre paid pass for regional buses is obtainable at bus
stations, or downloading the VAMUS app and setting up an account
on your phone, can reduce fares on their buses by around 40%.
WARNING - Thursday 25th April is a public holiday - Liberation
Day, as is Wednesday 1st May, Labour Day. Trains and buses will
run to Sunday times. Summer timetables on some VAMUS routes may
come into effect on 1st May as they did last year. I cannot though
confirm until even on the day itself. The bus company makes no
advance announcements.
