The journey

What the journey actually looks like

Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

Direct or connecting
89% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 11% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 224 km against 217 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Praia. The gap between arriving and leaving is 75 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 13 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Both legs are sold on one booking, so a missed connection is ours to fix and you are rebooked at no charge.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Espargos at 06:05 and the last at 18:44, across 9 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.
