I have taken the bus. IMO, the best thing you can say about it is that you don't have to make any changes. It is not a particularly pretty route, and it stops at a not particularly great highway rest stop. It is a long day, but maybe you are more tolerant of staying seated for all those hours than I am.
Depending on how much time you have, you might want to take the train, and spend a couple of days in Vigo (I have wanted to get to the Cies Islands for a long time, that might be a nice post-Camino "decompression" stop). Then move on to Lisbon.
And just one addition to Whari's train information. The train to and from Porto will stop at Oriente as he notes (a few kms north of town, a big modern station), but it will also continue into the old central station at Santa Apolonia. That may be more convenient for you, depending on where you will be spending the night.
We took the train, stopped in Porto for a day, then trained down to Lisbon. It was great.Any advice for best way to making our way from Santiago to Lisbon after we finish our Camino? Thank you! Pam
