I may well have been wrong about the new shelters .. I have seen a couple more of the `new` ones that look much like old ones ..

Paint! The only decorations will be those made by the local schoolchildren. And perhaps the council's men might backfill the holes made for the legs of said shelters.

Anyway, good to know our taxpayers money is being well spent.

Give us a shout if they paint them and I'll pop round to watch them dry............]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:12:54 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/bus-shelters-and-stops-disappearing_topic10749_post106957.html#106957 <![CDATA[Bus shelters and stops disappearing! : cubsur wrote:At last a truck...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/bus-shelters-and-stops-disappearing_topic10749_post106956.html#106956 Author: Algarveaddick

What a waste of time and money. As you say, Tom, barely different to the old ones - sloping roof rather than flat (useful in a country where sunshine is mostly the thing you want to shelter from rather than rain), and a deeper but shorter bench to sit on inside.  Big deal.

And I can confirm excavations are taking place at the Dolphins, but still mighty confusing  at those places where they have completely removed the old shelter and stop!

Timetables! It's only been 8 years of asking. But then they would have to keep to them rather than go three or four minutes 'early' which has been the case recently.

No need ... they are putting in new shelters, with more advertising space ... already up in Ferreiras, Vale Paraiso, Camping (main road) with the name of the stop painted large in the route colour (presumably), since they are orange. New ones currently going up at Town Hall, Worms and Boavista ..

We assumed that they are going to put in bus shelters that are more practical for a very hot country. I.E. Ones that actually shelter you from the sun, rather than magnify it's heat?

We live in (usually forlorn) hope...

I am spotting from this bus that some bus shelters and stops have vanished. Eg at the Dolphins and at the Camara. The buses still stop as they always have but most confusing for passengers. I shall try to find out why.]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2018 09:34:15 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/bus-shelters-and-stops-disappearing_topic10749_post106701.html#106701
