Bus lines serving Candelária

From the current AzoresBus line PDFs (edition effective 1 September 2026). 8 stops printed under "Candelária"; the day-type columns listed are the ones on which at least one of those stops has a printed time.

AzoresBus publishes no stop coordinates, and no printed stop name here matched an OpenStreetMap node exactly on the read date, so no coordinates are shown rather than guessed.
