EVA to take control of most of Algarve’s bus network

Most of the Algarve’s bus network will be operated by regional bus company EVA starting in August 2020.
The news has been revealed by the Algarve’s municipalities association (AMAL) which says that the concession contract is expected to be signed before the end of the year.
Before officials put pen to paper, however, the bus company must carry out a number of improvements to the current network.
EVA must guarantee a bus link to communities with at least 40 people and make space on its buses for the transportation of at least two bicycles on the routes between Vila Real de Santo António and Faro, Faro and Lagos, and Lagos and Sagres.
