Advantages
PunctualFair priceFastDisadvantages
Little comfortLots going onPoor wifiThe journey takes 2 hours and 45 minutes, which is okay for the route.
What I find quite good: the 4072 bus is punctual and gets you safely to your destination. The price is also fair, especially if you book early.
But there are also a few downsides: The comfort on the 4072 bus is not the best. The seats are okay, but not super comfortable for longer journeys. Sometimes it's also quite crowded, especially in high season.
What else bothers me: The wifi on the 4072 bus doesn't always work reliably, and the air conditioning is sometimes set too cold or too warm.
All in all, the 4072 bus is a viable option for travelling from Lisbon to Albufeira. Not luxurious, but it will get you from A to B. If you don't expect too much, you won't be disappointed with this connection
