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
