</tbody></table>
The EVA bus departures are usually faster, taking +-3hrs45mins <b>BUT</b> there is no stop between Lisbon and Lagoa in the Algarve.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Rede-Expressos buses take longer but there are usually stops en route.<br />
<br />
There are upwards 12 daily services between the two locations. Additional Services operate at peak periods and high-season.<br />
<br />
Timetables & online booking for both services can be found here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rede-expressos.pt/">http://www.rede-expressos.pt/</a><br />
<br />
Ticket prices vary dependent upon the service used but at the time of writing begin at €20.00 single one way.<br />
<br />
b) <a href="http://renex.pt/">renex.pt</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://renex.pt/">RENEX.pt</a> also operate bus services from Lisbon Gare Oriente Bus Station (Metro Gare Oriente - Linha vermelho - two stops from the airport) to Lagos. In Lagos, the buses leave from and arrive at the Renex office by the Repsol Service Station on the Avenida by the Muncipal Market. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Renex Bus at Lisbon Gare Oriente</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
However, these services take longer. Transit times are between 03hrs 45mins and 04hrs30mins. Buses stop once en route for refreshments. It may be necessary to change buses at the Renex Vale Paraiso bus station near Albufeira.<br />
<br />
There are 7 daily services. Timetables can be downloaded here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://renex.pt/Files/Horarios_SUL.pdf">http://renex.pt/Files/Horarios_SUL.pdf</a><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it is not possible to to book this service online. Tickets can be purchased at the Renex Booking Offices in Lagos and at Gare Oriente.<br />
<br />
Ticket prices vary dependent upon the service used but at the time of writing begin at €19.50 single one way.<br />
<br />
In the writer's opinion, with over 19 buse services daily between Lisbon & Lagos, bus offers the best option for return day trips between the two centres.<br />
<br />
If arriving at Lisbon Airport and travelling to Lagos for for a stay, the train or bus from Gare Oriente to/from Lagos is the most convenient as there Metro runs directly between the two. (Three stops) <br />
<br />
It should also be born in mind that, often, there are no taxis at either Lagos Station or Lagos Bus Station. There are usually taxis available near by the stop for Renex.pt buses in Lagos.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.sulinformacao.pt/2016/05/en125-entre-maritenda-e-fontainhas-vai-ficar-cortada-ate-15-de-julho/">http://www.sulinformacao.pt/2016/05/en125-entre-maritenda-e-fontainhas-vai-ficar-cortada-ate-15-de-julho/</a><br />
<br />
While the replacement of the road bridge over the rail line is no doubt needed, the complete lack of respect for locals and visitors shown by both the responsible authorities, Infraestruturas de Portugal and the contractors is breathtaking.<br />
<br />
Neither Agency is issuing public warnings when works are to start, or be completed, and the local press appear to be dependent upon "leaks" for information.<br />
<br />
At a minimum, there is need for the national Parliament(A Assembléia Nacional) to pass legislation requiring Infraestruturas de Portugal (a state agency), to fully divulge via the Press and Media, proposed works programmes, at least, 8 weeks in advance of project starts, (obviously with the exception of emergency works. )<br />
<br />
There will be a diversion in place as detailed in the above article.<br />
<br />
However, if anyone is planning on using the EN125 to get from Faro to Boliqueime and beyond in the next 2 months, be aware and perhaps be prepared to pay tolls and use the A22 Via de Infante Motorway.
So be warned!.barlaventoexperthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02848785702499752555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417456235415327237.post-88666231138828636422016-05-04T16:07:00.000+00:002016-05-04T16:07:23.880+00:00Coaches between Porto Airport, Portugal & Ponte de Lima, Viana de Castelo,Ponte de Barca,Arcos de Valdevez <div style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14.004px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">

The restaurant is located on the top floor of the old Cascais Market, where as a kid I used to see live poultry and wabbits being sold. The market is now a type of "Space" and there are other restaurants around there that look good as well. If I am correct we came out at about 13,00€ per head including drinks.</div>

<br />
Here's some tips on how to get to Lagos by public transport from both Lisbon, Portugal and Seville, Spain.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><i>Travel to/from Lisbon, Portugal</i></b></h3>
There are both long distance buses and trains connecting Lisbon to Lagos.<br />
<br />
Depending on time of year, there are approximately 18 services a day.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Train :</h4>
One takes either a <a href="http://www.cp.pt/" target="_blank">cp.pt </a>Alfa-Pendular or Intercidades train with destination Faro, from one of two Lisbon main stations, Gare Oriente or Entrecampos. One changes at Tunes, a village in the interior of the Algarve countryside to a local train to Lagos. This takes about an hour.<br />

<br />
Cascais, situated at the terminus of the "Linha da Cascais", the suburban rail line that runs from Lisbon's Cais de Sodre station, has long been a destination for the upmarket tourist segment.<br />
<br />
However, these figures confirm qualitative data over the past two years from online sources such as <a href="http://tripadvisor.com/">Tripadvisor.com</a>, that increasingly tourists in general are looking at Cascais, and Estoril which lies in the Cascais Council area, as desirable destinations.<br />
<br />
The bulk of visitors originated from <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23.2px;">the UK, Germany, Holland, Sweden and France. Visitors from Spain also favor the area, it being an easy drive from the Madrid region.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In part the development of low-cost flights into Lisbon Airport by airlines such as <a href="http://ryanair.com/">ryanair.com</a>, <a href="http://easyjet.com/">easyjet.com</a>, <a href="http://transavia.com/">transavia.com</a>, <a href="http://vueling.com/">vueling.com</a> are contributory factors. However, the write also believes that the fact that the Cascais region offers a range of tourist products, apart from beaches, makes it increasingly desirable. The proximity of the region to both Sintra and Lisbon also adds to the region's desirability.<br />
<br />
However, there are a couple of issues that, in the writer's opinion, may restrict substantial future development of visitor numbers:<br />
<ol>
<li>Lack of direct reasonably priced public transport services such as direct buses/scheduled limo services to Lisbon Airport. A direct hourly bus service from Cascais Station via Estoril Station to Lisbon Airport via the A5 motorway /CRIL would be a great improvement, especially with more airlines such as <a href="http://monarch.co.uk/">monarch.co.uk</a> starting direct services to Lisbon Airport in 2016.. </li>
<li>Insufficient tourist accommodation, particularly in the budget/independent traveler end and apartment/villa rental sectors of the market. </li>
</ol>

<br />
The service from Lagos calls at Praia da Rocha, Portimão, Lagoa and then proceeds <b><i>DIRECT NON-STOP</i></b> to Lisboa Sete Rios Rodoviarío (bus station).<br />
<br />

<b>IT DOES NOT PASS GO! IT DOES NOT COLLECT €200!!</b><br />
<br />
Transit time from Lagos is 3hr45mins.<br />
<br />
There is NO STOP between Lagoa and Sete Rios! This takes about 2hrs45mins<br />
<br />
There is an on-board toilet and occasionally, a cafe service.<br />
<br />
If the bus is full it can be fun!!.<br />

<a href="http://rede-expressos.pt/" target="_blank">Rede-Expressos</a> and <a href="http://renex.pt/" target="_blank">RENEX</a> buses from Lagos to Lisbon do stop en-route, usually at the Aljustrel Service Area on the A2 Lisbon - Algarve Motorway. Transit Time is longer (up to 4hrs30mins) but, at least, one has 15 minutes to stretch one's legs. If one, takes the overnight RENEX service, and there are no clouds, one has the opportunity to marvel for 15 minutes at the beautiful night sky over the Alentejo!<br />
<br />
Between the three bus services, there are, at least, 16 daily services between Lagos and Lisbon. In Summer frequencies increase.<br />
