I didn’t enjoy the fact that at no stage was a stop at Albufeira mentioned whilst booking and we went there. Also the seats lean too far back both passengers in front of me decided to lower the seat to its maximum and I felt very uncomfortable.

Bus stopped for 10mins we were told. I went to the toilet and bought water. Went back to bus and bus had left with my bags but left me behind. Dont know what I would have done if I did not have my phone on me. What a nightmare!

The bus terminal at Portimao was a disaster. No one could tell us from which parking lot the bus would leave. And when the bus was suppose to leave we were all freaking out because we thought we were at the wrong place because there was no bus!
15 minutes later the bus finally came...
But seriously - no time tables or way to see if the nus is late is really bad!!
Users have reported that the bus journey was generally satisfactory, with punctual departures and comfortable seating. The driver received positive feedback for their professionalism, although there were minor delays due to extended comfort breaks taken by some passengers. Additionally, a few travelers noted that the air conditioning could be slightly overwhelming at times.

The journey was OK, the bus was on time, the seats were comfortable. The air conditional was a little bit too much.
Users have shared positive experiences with the bus service, highlighting punctuality and helpful drivers. The buses are generally comfortable and convenient for travel, even including airport stops as a bonus feature. However, some reviews mention discomfort due to seating arrangements or chilly temperatures at the back of the bus. Overall satisfaction remains high among travelers.
Unfortunately the driver was not allowed to make a pitch stop so the passengers could use the toilet in a motorway service. The toilet on the bus was flooding the bus smacked of a latrine.

I'm 5' 10" and the seats are way too cramped and uncomfortable for my height. Especially for the long 3hr+ drive. The seats should not be allowed to recline as that makes it more cramped. And there should be more buses travelling from Lisbon to Portimao. Maybe 1 every hour instead of 1hr 30mins.

The bus driver and passenger in front row did NOT stop talking loudly to each other almost entire trip. I booked extra ticket as was unable to select a seat on your app when booking so went direct to Rede Express and bought additional ticket to secure front seat No 2 as I have cancer and get nauseas.
The driver and passenger made it so unpleasant woth all their house the vid driver also slammed brakes so many times as drove too close to car in front. NO wifi on board as promised either. Much prefer Flux Bus if honest and booking directly
According to 28 reviews, Rede Expressos received a 4.1-star rating for this journey. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the seats, but some complained about the power outlets. Rede Expressos ticket prices on this trip start at SEK 86
