On the bus ticket, they put a different location to where the bus was actually departing. I was stood there waiting for ages, then I saw the bus drive away in the distance. Confused, I walked to the location I saw it depart from, and showed the woman at the counter that it showed a completely different location, and all she did was laugh in my face, shrug, and made me buy another ticket for the next bus. I had honestly never felt so disrespected.

Passengers have praised the bus service for its friendly and skilled drivers, as well as the ease of booking tickets. The journey was generally smooth and comfortable. However, some travelers noted issues with punctuality and a lack of clear boarding information at terminals, which could be challenging for tourists unfamiliar with local languages.
Great experience. Only negative but more of a terminal issue vs byline was the lack of boarding platform information.

I travel very often from Albufeira to Lisbon, return. I always avoid Renex as they are normally crowed and never stick to schedule, and drivers not very worried.
