Local Transport

Madeira’s bus network — 3 operators, 84 routes, one unified ticket.

Since July 2024 every route is unified under the SIGA network — one ticket works across all 3 operators.

Routes drawn use OpenStreetMap road data; timetables and stop changes are always authoritative on each operator’s site. Tickets work across all 3 operators under the SIGA system.

Quick dial — Emergency services

In any emergency, dial 112. This single number connects you to the Police (PSP), Ambulance (INEM) and Fire Brigade (Bombeiros) anywhere on Madeira and Porto Santo. Operators speak Portuguese and English. Stay calm, state your location, and describe what’s happening.

At the coast? Beach lifeguards (nadadores-salvadores) patrol most swimming areas in summer — always follow their flags (green = safe, yellow = caution, red = no swimming). For boating, cliff incidents or anything at sea, call the Polícia Marítima on 291 208 600 or 112 — they coordinate with sea rescue.
