The buses run until 10 p.m. (Terminal Rodoviário do Campo Grande, Estrada de Telheiras, 1600-616 Lisbon). At other time of day, Rede Expressos from Seté Rios bus station (Rodoviário de Lisboa terminal, Rua Prof. Lima Basto 133 1500-423 Lisbon) is the better choice.
The taxi (8-10 €) is the fastest option to get to one of the two bus terminals. Unless you are in the taxi queue at the exit in front of the arrival terminal, then it would be the slowest option. A better way is to go to the entrance of the departure terminal. That is less than 200m at Lisbon airport. There is no taxi queue and you can jump easy into the cab and go. With little traffic it takes 5 minutes and during rush hour 15 minutes to one of the bus terminals. If you have more time (35 minutes) take the metro to Campo Grande (1.5 €). You have to change once at Alamada into the green line, see metro map. The bus stop is a little bit hidden in front of the NOS office complex at Campo Grande.
