Users have shared mixed experiences with the bus service. They appreciated the helpfulness of an attendant who provided updates and guidance when a bus was delayed, ensuring passengers were directed correctly. However, there were concerns about buses not arriving significantly earlier despite paying extra for rescheduling and being dropped off at unintended locations like Faro city instead of the airport.

Driver was clear with communication and patient with customers. Bus left on time and arrived on time too.

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.
