My only issue was the price of the ticket was high

I was disappointed that I paid extra to have the tickets moved up to a earlier time. The bus ended up being late and we didn't arrive that much earlier then if we would have stayed on the later bus. An attendant did come out and update us on the bus being late and directed us to the correct bus when it arrived which was helpful.

By far the worst company. The ticket was very misleading. I saw a ticket from Lisbon to faro. Why will I now be told there is a connection after I have paid. And to make matters worse, the drivers in Albufeira were all rude and unprofessional. And the driver was 30 minutes late.

Comprei viagem direta de Lisboa a Faro e sinto-me enganada. Depois de chegar ao Algarve parou em todas as cidades e chegou muito mais tarde a Faro o que foi muito cansativo.
O motorista não teve nenhum tempo de descansar antes de começar a viagem para Faro
