About

Azores Bus

Features
Read full description

Plan your Azores bus trips before you travel, then browse stored timetables without a connection. Choose your origin and destination by name without requiring GPS. Bus data is available for São Miguel, Terceira, Faial, Pico, Santa Maria and Graciosa. Coverage is not complete across the archipelago; São Jorge, Flores and Corvo are not covered by the bundled bus timetables. Browse routes, stops and scheduled departures, plan journeys and save trips. Core schedules and planning work without an upgrade; an optional pass unlocks the full map experience. The app offers English, Portuguese, German and French. Some times are estimated or provisional. Check important journeys with the operator, especially when a published timetable window has ended. Azores Bus is an independent planner, not an official operator app. It does not sell bus tickets or provide live bus tracking or ferry booking.
