What goes wrong on this line
Line 208 takes about two hours each way because it circles the north-west coast through Capelas, Santo António and João Bom before dropping into the crater [source]. On weekdays its two returns start at Ramal Mosteiros (Merendário) at 17:00 and 17:45 and do not serve the Sete Cidades stops; the weekday link from the village to that junction is the 17:15 line 206 shuttle [source, source]. The Saturday and Sunday returns do start at Sete Cidades (Lagoas): 09:00 and 16:25 on Saturdays, 10:45 and 18:05 on Sundays [source].
