After reading some of the reviews I was a little skeptical to use FlixBus for my Brussels to Amsterdam trip, but took a chance since it was such a short ride and so much cheaper than some other alternatives. I was pleasantly surprised! They were right where they said they'd be to do the pickup early in the morning. I booked online in advance and just showed the driver my Apple Wallet QR code on my phone, and we were off! They have a baggage hold under the bus for your actual suitcase/luggage so you are able to free up space on board and just bring your purse or backpack/snacks to your seat. They have WiFi on board, which got a little spotty in areas, but did work most of the time. There is also a USB port above each seat, so I was able to get my phone charged up and ready to go for the rest of the day once we reached Amsterdam! There is also a screen at the front of the bus showing what is in front of you, so you can watch the route you are on. One thing I really appreciated: they had little feet pedals at each seat so your feet have somewhere to rest. I have short legs so often times they are just swinging uncomfortably on these types of bus seats, so I loved that feature! And the seats are pretty comfy too, from my experience. The staff was very nice on the trip from Brussels to Amsterdam. My friend felt a little queasy as we boarded, so the driver said she should sit up front in the "jump seat" next to him so that she could get a little more fresh air than at the back of the bus and also have the less "bumpy" seat that is more centered over the front wheel. Overall for this short route (2.5 hours) it was definitely manageable and comfortable, and a lot more inexpensive than some alternatives

Was traveling from Seattle,WA out to Montana. My trip got cancelled halfway through due to a Winter storm. They have left me Stranded in Spokane,WA for 2 days now. I just now got a hold of someone and was told, they cannot reissue me a new ticket to get home. I have to buy a new one, they will not cover my hotel cost as well. They are just a Money Sucking Company that does care about you. read more

I purchased my ticket with Flixbus on March 1st, 2020 from Paris to Amiens France. . This was my first time riding with them. I showed up at the destination only to find out that my departure destination and time had been changed only 10 hours before. I received no email, phone call or text informing me of this change. I stood in line for almost an hour to talk to a friendly Customer Service Agent named Karen who assured me that her company would reimburse me for my bus ticket and the hotel cost since there were no other buses departing that day to Amiens. I immediately emailed FlixBus informing them of the situation. FlixBus replied apologizing for the inconvenience they had caused on me and my trip and assured me that as long as I attach the proper documentation of my payments to FlixBus and the Hotel that they would reimburse me for their mistake. After I emailed them my receipts they told me that they could not reimburse me because they did not see my mode of transportation from Paris to Amiens. I told them that their bus was how I was planning to get to Amiens and that is why I am requesting a refund - because I was unable to go. They told me that this did not make sense, and that I had to prove my mode of transportation. I tried to explain to them my situation and that their customer service agent had promised me a refund for this mistake, but I was ignored. I SENT 8 EMAILS TO 3 DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES OVER THE COURSE OF 2 MONTHS AND NOT ONE REPLIED. I saved all of the emails I sent and continued to follow up every week. Finally Alketa, one of the 3 representatives, got back to me only to inform me that this would be their LAST correspondence with me and that they are not required to issue me a refund. She also told me that my FlixBus ticket had been refunded - which I have yet to receive after almost 3 months now. I asked to speak to someone in charge and to have my case escalated due to the heavy price and lengthy duration of it, to which I received no reply. If I have any advice for anyone reading this, please do not purchase anything from this company. I have never dealt with a worse customer service team than FlixBus. If you want to see just how helpful and responsive they are feel free to take a look at the 'conversations' I had with their team below. Florina, Alketa and Arlina are the representatives I tried to get in touch with for months. read more

The only positive things I can say about this line is that 1.) we (eventually) arrived at our destination and 2.) we were not involved in a catastrophic accident resulting in injury. The seats are cramped and uncomfortable, the bus deviated from South Station to ALEWIFE STATION (the opposite direction!) on a trip to NYC. There was NO INFORMATION about this deviation to the schedule when I made my booking or on my ticket- I would not have booked if it were included. The arrival time was totally off- by over an hour and a half! This was an ordeal- it should not take nearly 7 hours to get to NYC from Boston. Totally unacceptable. read more

horrible the driver was very hostile & aggressive and even put his hands on a passenger. during the drive from New York to Boston it was pouring rain so on top of it airway being very cold, the driver had the AC blasted the whole trip. and when passengers kindly asked for him to adjust the, the driver just ignored as if no one was talking to him, or he became hostile and was yelling no . worst bus experience ever there was also plumbing issues with the toilet the whole bus stank. never ever riding again. this bus company is terrible and their customer service/feedback survey is not helpful at all. read more

Absolute worst service ever. Won't ever use it again. I got to the airport at 11:30 and decided I would save some money getting to my destination by taking this bus at 1:00, and it is a decision I will never make again. First of all, no one at the airport seemed to have heard of this bus before and did not know where to send me. After walking around for a while I finally found a nice man who helped me. Once I finally got to the stop that the website told me to go to, I waited from 12-1:45 and no bus showed up. I looked on the website to track it as it said I could do and there was no tracking. I called customer service and they were no help. They told me that according to their system the bus did show up, but as I mentioned: I waited at the stop for 2 hours and no bus. They refused to refund my ticket. I asked if they would pay for a ride share because their bus didn't show up and they would not admit it. Will never use this service again. Only gave them a star because I had to. read more
Horrible bus company. I took the bus to nyc and back to dc during the June 30th weekend. They advertise free wifi and outlets on the buses but youll be missing one of those. The bus to NYC didnt have outlets so if your phone is dying, well good luck. The bus to dc wifi didnt even work and it was a 7 hour bus ride. Beyond ridiculous, might as well spend a but more money and take Peter Pan read more

This is another terrible review about the cancellation policy - and the fact you can't get a refund, only a voucher. We are about a 13 hours away from the closes FlixBus (east coast of Canada) and cancelled a reservation for 4 tickets about 10 minutes after we made it when our trip plans were no longer necessary. We will have no reasonto use a bus in the next year while the "voucher" we received is still good. This policy is buried in the terms and conditions you check off but this is very shady and should be more transparent. read more

This bus is dangerous . The driver is a maniac . He speeds , cuts trucks off , doesn't signal , yells at people , and doesn't respect timing . It's been truly traumatic couldn't even rest my eyes in 5 hours for fear of my life . Went to restroom and another passenger had to help me safely sit . It's also sauna hot . I'm actually concerned for whomever takes this bus ! Do they have An actual Operating license. Stay safe read more

My Flixbus trip was cancelled from Ithaca on October 25,2023. I did not receive any notification. I waited in the bus stop for an hour and chatted with the customer service at 8:45 am. The agent said the only option is to take the 7:15 pm bus which has a significant wait time in New York at 1:30am, I was told that I will be reimbursed for the hotel cost. Upon taking the trip back the next day, I contacted Flixbus to reimburse me the $91.38. They are asking me for my bank details. They do not want to send me a check or give me a refund to my credit card. I asked them the original amount I paid which is $77.97 less than the $80 they want to send me the bank transfer Because of the bus cancellation, I missed a day of work, had to walk for 6 hrs in Ithaca before I can checkin to the hotel, pay for hotel, dinner and lunch. I am only asking Flixbus to return money to my credit card which is the original form of payment to them and they are refusing to do so. They are also refusing to issue a check. Please help resolve this matter. They can either give me $77.97 to my credit card or $80 check sent to my address. read more

Travelled from San Diego to Los Angeles and driver was on his phone probably 40% of the time. I was sitting in the first row and could not believe it was happening. Not only is it illegal, it was jeopardizing the safety of the bus and others traveling on the freeway. (Cannot upload the video, but the picture shows what was happening.) read more

It should be possible to give ZERO! This is unfaire to people that we have to give 1 start to something that is not even worth that much! Anyway that been said I just wanna say that this was by far the worst experience I ever have in all my travel experiences. From the beginning to the end. Very unconfortable buses, discusting, durty, smelly, not even gonna mention the toilet I dont have the curage to talk about it... Buses drivers are super rude and not helpfull at all, they stop countless time in between official stops to get food or smoke. Super late to a point where I missed my connection and had to wait 10 hours to get back home. As for the customer service... My gosh it is even worst ! Don't even try they are just as rude and not helpfull as the rest of it.. Don't even try to get a refund for something they just brush you off like the don't give a s... about you. Well actually they just don't! Your case is never good enough for them to give you back even half of the money you spent on them.. Shame on me for ever chosing them! Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT chose them! Your mental health is a lot more important then the couple bucks you save by chosing them. Thehy are not worth you spending a single dollar... I would prefere walking than ever having to deal with that discurting company! read more

Overall service is bad. Customer Service agents are argumentative and rude. The buses are never on time. Bus drives are mediocre at best. Considering this is one of few options for mobile transportation they will continue to operate poorly. read more

Scheduled bus trip to take our daughter back to college. Showed up early, sat and waited 20 minutes. Only after checking their booking site did we learn that the bus was "canceled"!!!! No warning at all....luckily we waited with her. However, other students were not so lucky left sitting there to wait for the next bus - 2 hours later!!! When I tried to log a complaint(which could only be done through Chat Bot) I was told sorry but it was a short notice cancel so they didn't have time to notify. Are you kidding me! Text or email alerts are super simple and should be a normal course of business with a large company like this. Transportation is a business most subjected to possible delay with traffic conditions such as accidents, weather etc. This was the first and probably the last time we use this service. Amtrak for example will text and call you with notifications of delay's in arrival or departure times. They will also offer to schedule you on different trains if available...for free! read more

FLIX BUS cancelled 10 minutes before departure. I was left stranded in Toronto Union Bus Terminal. The excuse was due to unforeseen circumstances and that there was nothing they could do to help me. BTW, any other bus headed to my destination was booked due to it being a holiday weekend. I will never use them again. I guess I should have went on Google reviews first. They are a horrible company. 0/10 from me. read more

I liked them in Europe, but Europe has very aggressive consumer protection laws. They have the worst customer service I have seen. They will cancel buses on short notice, frequently run late, and then do nothing about it. If they tried that in Europe they wouldn't be allowed to operate, and they know that, so they don't do it in Europe. God forbid you try to cancel a trip. Once they have your money they will not only refuse to let go, but will try and wring even more out of you. They will refuse to give you real money back and only give you a voucher, and will also charge a fee on top of that. So they'll refund you in monopoly money, and then take a portion of the monopoly money they give you. What a joke. read more

Part of this is my fault. I did not do my research on what FlixBus was before I booked. But not all of it. I'll detail my experiences and let you be the judge. I booked passage from Eau Claire, WI to Madison, WI. My bus was supposed to arrive at 10:40 AM. I used the feature to book a specific seat (12C) for $1.95 and employed their feature of booking an extra seat next to me for an extra $6.95. The bus arrived over a half hour late at 11:12. I boarded the bus to find that not only was the seating layout not the same as the website told me it would be, but that seats were not assigned and that it was "first come, first served." So there was my $1.95 wasted. The bus was also significantly more booked than suggested by the website. Now that's probably just people booking after me. BUT- there was only one row left with two seats. It's in the back, next to the bathroom (smelly), and not where I booked. If I get to the next stop and someone needs the seat next to me, there's $6.95 wasted. Can I complain too much? Maybe. I'm kinda upset that the bus isn't being run as described. But bottom line, it's a newer bus, has outlets, and aside from epic left lane cruising, the driver is doing a good job. It's not Greyhound level service, but it also was cheaper than Greyhound. If you need cheap transportation and don't care about punctuality, this bus is for you. I would not bother with booking any of the extras though, they obviously are just a money grab, and that's leaving me feeling a little ripped off. But it'll get me to my destination and I guess I can't complain about the condition of the bus. read more

You get what you pay for. We needed transportation from Porto to Cascais, in the middle of the day. Bought three tickets with reserved seats. The earlier bus to Lisbon was more than an hour late, so our bus was flooded with riders. Toilet broken, very tight seats, seat belt really tight and across a smaller person's throat. Virtually no overhead storage. You load your bags into the hold yourself, and the hold is left open, so I recommend you bring any expensive items on the bus. Two ladies 5 rows away babbled at the top of their lungs most of the trip. I'd look at other options before taking FlixBus. We got there in relatively timely fashion but it was not comfy. read more

Trash company who refuse to refund your money despite the driver specifically telling me it was not my bus (hint: it was, but I only found this out AFTER the bus had departed), forcing me to miss my bus and purchase an additional (and somewhat expensive for a Peter Pan bus ride) ticket with Peter Pan. This resulted in a huge schedule-related inconvenience as I had two appointments that day that now needed to be scheduled. I'm not surprised this company has such terrible reviews. Because you were cheap about 37 lousy dollars, you've now lost a customer for life because I will NEVER spend a dime on a Flixbus ever again - and I'll make sure to tell everyone I know to stay away too. Oh, and I disputed the transaction with my bank - hope they hit your ass with a chargeback. read more

Waste of time. Tried for 3 days to simply book a ticket and did all the uploading and clearing and down loading just to get them to accept my very valid credit cards but nothing worked for me. I give up. Ok experiences with flix in the USA and Europe, but in Canada it's useless. Just pay the extra money and travel by train. read more

Incredibly poor service on almost every front. I took their buses once and the bus was filthy and old, the plugs didn't work, and the driver could not have cared less about assigned seating. Today, as I was walking up to the bus, trying to give it a second chance, they drove away three minutes early. They are now giving me the runaround as I request a refund. Awful, awful company. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but when you show up 45 minutes early to the location your ticket says you need to go and the bus just doesn't show up with many passengers waiting and the bus customer service blames you for missing your bus. Then your bus service deserves a 1 star. The stole my money. Don't use them if you can help it. Luckily I got a bus with Amtak and they saved my trip. Amtrak rocks! read more

Complete JUNK! The bus left well before the scheduled time leaving me outside in the wee hours of the morning in the icy wind with nothing else open within a 20+ minute walk. I missed my connection, and no other Flix bus was running that route that day. It's been almost two months and I STILL have not received the refund that I've been after them for and they said I would get it within two weeks. Don't trust these thieves! read more

I found Flixbus to be sleazy and a garbage service. Flixbus cancelled my bus trip then included only the option on the web site to get a voucher refund rather than cash refund, which should be illegal in my opinion. I tried calling customer service to get a refund but was kept on hold with no estimate of how long I would continue to be on hold and no callback option. It feels like they deliberately make refunds difficult to keep more money. read more

There is a serious problem with staff (drivers) of these buses. I've traveled a few times with Flixbus, and the drivers refuse to communicate with English, or at all with the passengers, and they're often rude and ignoring when asked for something. I recently had an incident while I was travelling from Paris to Amsterdam. Someone illegally sneaked to the bus from the rear door and sat behind me, without the drivers noticing. I was robbed during this trip when I fell asleep, then woke up to find both the person behind me, and my stuff gone. I assume it happened when the bus stopped somewhere before my destination, and that person was gone. The drivers were unable to control who gets in and out of the bus, and that makes me feel unsafe, especially when the staff just refuse to answer the simplest queries. read more

If I could give it a negative number, I definitely would. Just do yourself a favor and don't travel with these buses. I got a notification of the cancelation of my trip 3hrs before the actual trip! I'm potentially missing the following flight after this, which would cause a damage, and I have to get a last minute trip. The whole thing caused me a damage six times more than the actual flixbus ticket. The customer service line is unimaginably long and irresponsible. They should have emailed about ghe cancelation much earlier and if they had to cancel last minute, they have to be respectful, responsible, and have a backup plan. read more

This is the worst bus company ever. If I could I would give them 0 stars. They cancelled my trip, then when I was supposed to change the time of the trip, their website didn't specify if my choices were during AM or PM time, so I ended up selecting the wrong time. Customer Service told me there is nothing they could do, just charge me for a return I couldn't make. Be aware and avoid their services. read more

This has got to be the worst experience my bus was cancelled twice I have contacted them through the website as well as phone call and the will not refund my money they are trying to say it doesn't show on their end that my trip was canceled. I was at union Station at 9pm set to board the bus at 945pm and it was canceled 15mins before. This is absolutely disgusting customer service. The people you call put you in hold for so long. Very terrible experience. After a few phone calls with no manager or supervisors apparently they don't have them. And online service that can't help they just keep saying to go online and request a refund then the online say call the number I can't help any further it's a big circle of disaster and still no refund for me. Very disappointed read more

Just to let everyone know. If your bus is over 2 hours late which mine was THEY WILL NOT REFUND IT. if you board the bus you void your refund. Absolutely pathetic customer service too they sound like bots. At least if a train is late another comes in under half an hour. 2 and a half hours we all waited!!!!! read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. The bus from London to Lille was delayed by 12 hours. We were give a meager 10€ to spend on food and drinks, while we had to spend the night in the port terminal at Dover. We were given nothing else. People missed connections, had to book alternative transportation, and all we were given was 10€. Terrible. Refunds for the hotel I had to book (since I was left stranded due to the delay) hasn't been processed yet, 3 months after I initially contacted customer services. Every new email I receive from them (which takes about 2-3 weeks) is from a different agent, and as they don't seem to bother reading the whole conversation, start the refund process from the beginning. Worst customer service ever. I will never use their services again. Please avoid. read more

Horrible customer service. I booked a roundtrip and when I changed the departure time of one of the legs, my ticket completely disappeared. I spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to get it resolved. Long story short, they refunded one leg, but not the entire trip. Refund takes 14 business days, they couldn't get my on another bus, and they didn't honor the original price I paid. read more

FlixBus is the worst experience with transportation I've ever had. My return trip bus left ~2 hours early without proper notification. I was originally scheduled to depart at 3:20PM but the bus had left at 1:30PM without informing me adequately. I had to book another ticket and sprint to another station to catch a bus back home. I requested a refund, which FlixBus refused. The agent told me that they emailed me 3 weeks before indicating the advanced departure time, but I have no record of receiving this comminication. This is entirely unprofessional and unacceptable - a refund is not out of the question for this egregious lack of communication and unprofessional behavior. I will never be using this service again and strongly urge anyone considering booking a ride with FlixBus to reconsider. read more

Took them from NYC to Boston. For some reason, they make a stop in Brookline, only a few miles from the final stop. For some other reason, when they go from Brookline to Boston, they drive backwards and make the trip unnecessarily long. For some other reason, when they drop you off in Boston it's in some weird parking lot under a freeway. I've taken a bunch of the other services (BoltBus, MegaBus, Chinatown buses before those) and they were all basically the same. And I figured FlixBux was basically the same as well: Nope. First time taking them. Last time taking them. read more

Customer service is not helpful at all! Agents don't know what they are talking about! I wanted to get reimbursed for a bus ride I missed due to incorrect reading of the address on the website. It was really unfortunate and I had to take a couple of Ubers to get in time to the other stations, I missed the bus, begged for a compensation and they say no. Really weird customer service for America. Zero I have used them many times in the past, with rude drivers, dirty buses I will never recommend them or even take a ticket with them again. REDCOACHUSA is a company so much better, cleaner, no comparison. read more

The travel itself is fine. However, they are using different buslines (ie Greyline), but failed to note that on the ticket. When two buses were at the bus stop, I naturally went to the Flixbus. By the time the bus driver realized that I was getting on the wrong bus, the other one had left. I was able to buy another ticket for later the same day, but Flixbus would not reimburse me for any of the cost for the first ticket, stating that the bus was not late. They took no responsibility for failing to provide the bus information on the ticket. I will continue to use Flixbus, as they are convenient, but their customer service is terrible. read more

My booking was changed by Flixbus at the last minute to a completely different location and time against my will, making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to even get there and when I tried to change it to earlier but could not get ahold of ANYONE in Flixbus customer service it caused a huge interruption for my travels. I tried the chat, I tried calling, NOTHING worked and changing the ride to a completely impossible time and then refusing to answer to help me get an earlier time is horrible customer service. They also refused to refund the charges for their own mistake. Run, do not walk away from Flixbus, they will take your money, change your ride against your will, charge you more and not refund you! read more

Took a Flixbus from Perth ON to Peterborough ON. I frequentLu take this bus route but this ride on October 22nd was just about the worst experience I have ever had on Flixbus. First off he was 15 minutes late. We carry on our way but about 45 mintues into the trip we get PULLED OVER. Only to find out that it was because the bus driver was doing 60 km/h on hwy.7 (which is a very busy highway) where the normal speed limit is 80 km/h. Anyways it was a "mechanical issue" but after 30 minutes it's fixed. so again we start our trip and the cop is following us to make sure that we are in fact going at least 80 and the bus driver does so, until the cop leaves us and he then again drive the ENTIRE WAY TO PETERBOROUGH between 68-74 km/h. so my 2 1/2 hour trip has now turned into 3 1/2 hour. my conclusion is that the driver was scared of the dark. read more

Cautionary Tale: I rode with Flixbus and had my life ruined On Sep 25, 20:30, I boarded on the Flixbus at the Berlin Central Bus Station bound for Zurich Central Bus station. In addition to my checked-in luggage, I had one small waistbag/fannypack that I wore on my body during the journey, which holds all the valuables including passport, wallet with 130 euros in cash, all credit cards etc. When the bus arrived at the destination, I got off to retrieve my suitcase but left my waist bag on my seat. On arriving at the terminal stop Zurich, I walked away from the bus to take the tram nearby. About 500 meters away, I realized I'd left my waist bag on my seat. I returned immediately, the bag was gone. The bus was already loading new passengers for a new trip since it arrived 2 hours late according to the schedule. I asked the new driver, he didn't speak English and simply did not care. The 2 drivers from Berlin were off duty and went to sleep, he told me. Since this bus arrived in Zurich late, it was already filling up with passengers for the next planned trip to Stuttgart. There were a few passengers on board and I asked them if they saw anything, they told me no. Since my seat was at the mid-bus entrance by the partition board, it's directly under the surveillance camera. I believe by reviewing the footage we can find out what happened. To this day, my legitimate request has not been answered. I called the service center of Flixbus in Germany right away and told them the whole incident, believing that in this mostly timely manner the bag can be found easily found without too much trouble. How wrong I was! The simple, automated line designed to pawn off passengers which the guy on the line, in his most indifferent tone, must have repeated a thousand times before goes, and I quote: submit the loss&found form! My 5 day trip to Zurich was naturally ruined. I made an official police report in Zurich with which I later returned to Germany as a kind of explanation for not having an ID when passing the border control. I specially mentioned the surveillance camera which could be used to discover the whereabouts of my bag. 5 days later I embarked on my return trip with Flixbus. It was a red-eye ride and I had to change midway for a train in Heidelberg. Due to the enormous stress and emotional fatigue endured thanks to the ruined trip, I left my suitcase uncollected when I got off at my stop. I soon realized the mistake minutes after the bus drove off and immediately called Flixbus help center, the only advice they provided was 'to ask someone you know to pick it up for you along the stops the bus will make on this trip'. I do not know anyone in those cities, to which he suggested to submit a loss and found form via their website and wait for the news, cause that's the best they can do, naturally. I came back to Berlin totally devastated. I'd submitted loss and found requests for both of my lost properties to Flixbus not only once, but three times in total, and each time they came back with the automated message: we're sorry, but we could not find your belonging. I'd paid a personal visit to their company, and the staff there, clearly underpaid and overworked, said there's nothing they could do. Nothing, not even a word of apology. The course of my life in Germany flipped 180 after the unfortunate ride with Flixbus. 2 months later, I had to leave the country for good since some documents I had was irreplaceable. I blame myself for the thrift, for having wanted to save 60 euros and made the poor choice, for not having done my homework properly beforehand. The ill reputation of Flixbus as an irresponsible, bloodthirsty company can be revealed a simple google search away, enough to discourage any penny pinchers to think twice before travelling the perilous road with them. read more

I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable treatment I experienced during my journey on FlixBus 095 from Munich Central Bus Station to Klausen (Chiusa) on 8 March 2026. Details of the incident: During the scheduled stop at Innsbruck Südbahnstraße, Austria, the bus paused at a service station. The driver announced the break and explicitly allowed me to use the restroom for 5 minutes after I asked him in German, which other passengers can confirm. The driver was aware that I was going to the restroom without luggage and would return within the 5‑minute period. I bought a bottle of water at the station at 15:02 (transaction receipt available) and returned to the bus within the permitted 5 minutes, only to find that the bus had departed without me. Additionally, the bus left the Innsbruck stop earlier than indicated in the app (15:10). As a result, I was left stranded without my backpack, which contained my passport, wallet, and all my personal belongings. This caused not only stress and inconvenience but also restricted my freedom to travel, as I was denied access to my identification and financial means. This put me in a personally threatening and unsafe situation. I had no option but to follow the bus by taking a taxi. Another important point: FlixBus didn't mentioned in the ticket-related information that my action was prohibited. I did not expect this outcome. In addition, I called FlixBus customer service multiple times, but they could not provide any meaningful assistance. Instead, the lack of support only increased my frustration. Imagine racing a taxi after a FlixBus from Austria to Italy. I had to convince the taxi driver that I was not attempting to deceive him, with no money or ID on me, while speaking with the highly unhelpful FlixBus customer service. I had no option but to follow the bus by taking a taxi. Despite the fact that the bus departed minutes ahead of schedule, the driver's negligence forced me to arrange an emergency taxi from Innsbruck to Klausen, Italy, which cost me significantly. When we finaly intersected with the driver this was reluctant to give me access to my belongings. This situation has caused significant distress and financial burden, and I expect FlixBus to take full responsibility. read more

I have been travelling through Europe a lot in the past few years and I'm really glad that it's finally possible to travel within Germany by bus now. A fellow traveller highly recommended Flixbus to me and I found their connections perfect for a little trip through Germany so I planned an entire trip with Flixbus for me and my boyfriend. We stayed about 2 nights in each city, mostly in hostels and we also did some couchsurfing, so the entire trip was extremely cheap and one of the best travel experiences I ever had in Europe! Our experience with FlixBus was very positive. Everything worked out well and the tickets were so cheap :-) For my first booking I called the Flixbus Hotline for some help as their website is not available in English yet. Their staff was very friendly, helpful and could speak perfect English. + Very cheap tickets, snacks and drinks! + Our busses were all on time + Everything was extremely clean (I think they only have very new busses) + The drivers were great, very friendly and helpful + Free wifi + The transportation of our big backpacks was free + Service Hotline staff is great - Website is not available in English yet Here are the routes we travelled and the fares for one person: For the first part of our trip, I booked the tickets a few weeks in advance, so I managed to get the really cheap early birds fare Frankfurt Airport Cologne (5EUR) Cologne Bremen (13EUR) Bremen Hamburg (1EUR, yes! They had a special promotion or something and I got two 1EUR tickets, sweet!) Hamburg Berlin (8EUR) For the second part of our trip I booked the tickets only a few days in advance, so the cheapest tickets were mostly gone, but the full prices were still awesome (From Berlin to Dresden we took the train) Dresden Nuremberg (23EUR) Nuremberg Munich (15EUR) Munich Regensburg (11EUR) Regensburg Prag (23EUR) Prag Munich (33EUR) Munich Stuttgart (16EUR) Stuttgart Nuremberg (9EUR) Nuremberg Wurzburg (5EUR) Wurzburg Frankfurt (6EUR) I can highly recommend FlixBus and the whole route we took. Germany is a great country and it's now possible to easily travel from city to city on a budget :-) read more

I must express my profound disappointment with the recent experience I had with FLIXBUS. On the 8th of July, 2023, I, along with two other passengers, eagerly awaited the departure of the bus in České Budějovice. We arrived at the designated platform well in advance, but little did we know that this would be the start of a frustrating and unprofessional encounter. Fifteen minutes past the scheduled departure time, there was still no sign of the bus. To add to the frustration, the mobile application failed to provide any updates or notifications about a possible platform change or any other adjustments. As a result, we were left clueless and stranded, eventually causing me to miss a significant tournament I had planned for so diligently. The lack of communication and disorganization exhibited by FLIXBUS is unacceptable. As a traveler who relies on timely and accurate information, this experience left me not only inconvenienced but also with a considerable financial loss. I am genuinely concerned about the professionalism of FLIXBUS. The utter disregard for its passengers' time and schedules is deeply troubling. When customers make a commitment to travel with a company, they expect the same level of commitment in return. I am now seeking an immediate resolution to this issue. It is only fair that FLIXBUS compensates me fully for the trip that never happened, booked under reservation number 3090140303. Furthermore, I believe it is essential for FLIXBUS to take responsibility for its lack of communication and ensure that proper measures are implemented to avoid such situations in the future. In conclusion, I strongly advise fellow travelers to think twice before choosing FLIXBUS. This experience has left me with a bitter taste and has shattered any trust I had in the company's services. I hope this review serves as a warning to others, and I implore FLIXBUS to address this matter promptly and professionally. read more

On April 28, 2024, I traveled from Paris (Bercy Seine) to London (Victoria Coach Station) via a FlixBus service, with a departure time of 10:15 (Paris time) and an arrival time of 18:55 (London time). My booking reference number for this particular trip is 315 443 4163, route 700. Unfortunately, upon my arrival in London, I realized that I had inadvertently left my suitcase in the luggage compartment of the bus. The suitcase in question is a medium-sized black one with four wheels, displaying some minor scratches, and branded "Newcom." Immediately upon recognizing my mistake, I hastened back to the station within a mere 10 minutes, only to find that the bus had already left. Despite my swift actions to retrieve the suitcase, which included visiting the station on the evening of April 28 and again on April 29, as well as lodging a report with FlixBus's lost and found department (report reference number: 37302145), there have been no updates or leads regarding its whereabouts. It has now been more than two weeks since my first contact with the lost and found service. The inability to find my suitcase, which was left in the luggage compartment of your bus, for such an extended period is unacceptable. This lack of professionalism on your part is simply unacceptable. I vividly remember the driver who operated the route and have provided all relevant details. Despite suggesting the possibility of contacting the bus driver, FlixBus declined to do so, citing privacy concerns. While I acknowledge my own error in leaving the suitcase behind, I am profoundly dissatisfied with FlixBus's approach to resolving this matter. I believe the company's actions--or lack thereof--could be construed as negligence. Consequently, I am considering taking legal action to address this situation. read more

Ich studiere in München und besuche an den meisten Wochenenden meinen Freund in Nürnberg. Vor allem auf dieser Strecke, aber auch auf ein paar anderen habe ich den Flixbus jetzt schon einige Wochen lang ausgiebig getestet und bin total begeistert! Endlich gibt es eine tolle, günstige Alternative zur Bahn. Und auch Mitfahrgelegenheiten muss ich jetzt nicht mehr nutzen. Da hatte ich in letzter Zeit auch nicht mehr so Lust drauf irgendwie. Meistens steht der Bus in Nürnberg oder München schon lange vor der Abfahrt bereit. Bis jetzt habe ich nur ein mal eine Verspätung von ca 25min erlebt. Da kam dann kurz vor der geplanten Abfahrt eine Benachrichtigungs-SMS, dass der Bus verkehrsbedingt 20min Verspätung hat. Das geht für mich absolut in Ordnung und der Service mit der Benachrichtigung ist klasse. Das gratis Wlan auf der Fahrt nutze ich sehr ausgiebig mit dem Laptop zum Surfen und Arbeiten. Ab und zu ist auf der Autobahn mal kurz das Signal weg. Läuft aber sonst ziemlich schnell und war bis jetzt in jedem Bus verfügbar. Die Busfahrer waren bis jetzt immer sehr freundlich und an der Fahrweise hatte ich noch nie irgendetwas zu beanstanden. Die Busse waren alle sauber und neu. Solche komfortablen Sitze mit so viel Beinfreiheit hatte ich bis jetzt im Bus vorher noch nie. Die Ankunft in München war immer pünktlich, meistens waren wir sogar ein paar Minuten vor der geplanten Ankunftszeit am Ziel. Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit dem Fernbus Service von Flixbus und auch viele Freunde und Bekannte von mir haben immer nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich hoffe das Netz wird ganz schnell weiter ausgebaut, dann kann ich bald komplett auf die Bahn verzichten. read more

Freitag war meine erste Fahrt mit Flixbus fahren. Gebuchte Strecke Berlin - Leipzig. Keine Frage: der Preis ist erschreckend günstig. Ich nutze sonst die Konkurrenz und zahle mehr. Das werde ich wohl auch in Zukunft wieder machen, denn für die Fahrt mit Flixbus brauch man Nerven. Der Buchungsprozess war nicht ganz einfach. Telefonisch reservieren geht ja wohl nicht. :-( Der Bus war pünktlich. Das Gepäck wurde einfach nur in den Kofferraum gepackt. Es hätte sich unterwegs an jeder Haltestelle also jeder bedienen können. Die Dame vom Check-in war freundlich, sah aber aus, als sei sie einem Manga entsprungen. Ein Bisschen dezenter wäre schon ok... Im Bus waren alle drei Reihen etwa Müllsäcke an die Armlehnen gehängt worden. Zur Erinnerung: letzten Freitag waren gut 25 Grad und der Bus kam wohl aus Rostock. Mit anderen Worten: es müffelte. Alles nicht so schlimm, dachte ich. Bis die Busfahrerin im breitesten Bayrisch ansagte, dass man sich anschnallen sollte und wenn nicht ist das unser Problem. Sie zahlt das nicht. Ein Einfaches: "Bitte schnallen Sie sich an." hätte gereicht. Was dem Fass aber den Boden ausschlug war, dass im Klo bewusst kein Toilettenpapier mehr ausgelegt wird. Die Leute werfen es immer in die Toilette, die verstopft dann und deshalb hat die Firmenzentrale gesagt das machen wir nicht mehr. (Ist das nicht eigentlich Nötigung in einem abendländischen Land???) Wlan - Fehlanzeige. Getränke, Snacks - gab es nicht. Dafür eine Pause von 30 Minuten am Rasthof Fläming. Insgesamt dauerte meine Fahrt damit fast 3 Stunden. Da ist auch der Preis von 9 Euro nicht gerechtfertigt. Sorry, aber ich geh wieder zur Konkurrenz. read more

my trip with you guys has turned out to be one of my worst traveling experiences ever! Been on a bus from hell from Barcelona (what's the worst smelling toilet you ever smelled? For me flixbus N710 towards Düsseldorf) got physically sick of it and I'm a bartender used to cleaning horrible toilets!!. Plus I now stink sooooooooo bad that other passengers won't come close and probably think I'm incontinent so yeah feeling great. As cherry on top I booked a ticket for 40 minutes after arrivel in Amsterdam since you guys are never more than 30 minutes late but now am delayed again and send a message on Facebook about my connection. And it seems that you guys are not responsible for me missing my transfer in Amsterdam because of bs reason the nice girl (Linda on facebook) had to give me. So we go from boasting about being on time to not taking responsibility for a 40+ minute delay on a 3 hour and 40 minute trip (assuming my math is correct and I miss the flixbus in Amsterdam) boasting about service where you straight up endanger people (yes the ride were a boy got a seizures from the smell) and your bus drivers (both) did nothing! Tought BHV (dutch for company first aid) was something they would need as well but you guys are welcome since I have mine and together with some passengers could stabilize the guy and see him off in a ambulance. Oh and please stop advertising that you have wifi now in my 7th flixbus in 8 days and only one had (sort of) working wifi. So here is what I would like. Man up and take responsibility! Signed by a sad and very sick customer read more

Hier frische Geschichte darüber, wie ein Flix-Bus-Fahrer mit Fahrgästen umgeht... Gestern bin ich mit dem Bus 051 aus Düssi in Berlin angekommen, der Fahrer ist unten beim Gepäck mit anderen Passagieren, ich hab keins - also bin vorne ausgestiegen und losgegangen. Da merke ich, dass ich den Regenschirm im Bus vergessen habe. Schnell zurück zum Bus (der Fahrer sagte vorhin, er muss gleich wieder los fahren, bitte schnell aussteigen und eigenen Abfall mitnehmen - was ich freundlicherweise auch getan habe). Nun stehe ich vorne auf der unteren Stufe und will weiter nach oben, merke dann den Fahrer, der steht auf der oberen Stufe und will nach unten. Mein Fehler war, zugegeben, dass ich als - a.Fahrgast b.eine Frau 50+ und c.schlecht von der Stufe rückwärts zurück nach unten kann - irgendwie erwartet habe, dass er einfach einen Schritt zur Seite macht und mich die 2 restlichen Stufen rauf steigen lässt. Was aber dann in sekundenschnelle passiert ist, hätte ich mir nicht im Traum vorstellen können. Der Fahrer lässt mich nicht nur nicht rauf kommen, sondern er geht noch eine Stufe runter, somit steht er jetzt dicht vor mir, legt seine beiden Hände auf meine Brüste und schubst mich mit physischer Gewalt aus dem Bus raus, sagt dabei eiskalt: "ich zuerst" ! Wie ich den Balance halten konnte und nicht rückwärts hingefallen bin, weiß ich gar nicht. Aber den Schock und die Wut spüre ich auch jetzt noch. Ich musste den ganzen Weg vom ZOB nach Hause weinen. read more

I used FlixBus to get from Ljubljana to Zagreb and then Zagreb to Budapest, and was very impressed with the service. Both buses had a good wifi connection for the entire trip, and both had bathrooms on board. The Zagreb-Budapest trip was a longer one (5 hours) so they also had food and drinks available on the bus to purchase and stopped us at a cafe halfway through in case anyone was hungry. While the bus trip was better than I anticipated (especially because the cost of the tickets were cheaper than anything else I had seen), but how they deal with cancellations and changing tickets is actually why I wanted to write a positive review. On the day of our trip from Ljubljana to Zagreb, we found out we needed to get to Zagreb earlier than we thought so we could drop off our luggage at the bus station luggage hold before it closed. FlixBus had an earlier bus to Zagreb that day, and we were able to cancel our original tickets, get a voucher for the full cost of the original tickets we cancelled (sent to me immediately by email), and then use that voucher to book the new time, all of which was incredibly easy to do on the FlixBus App through the "rebook" option. They also allow mobile boarding passes (also through their app), which was great because so many bus companies require a printed ticket which general isn't possible when you're travelling and don't have access to a home printer. Overall, I would highly recommend FlixBus! read more

Flixbus ist doch eine peinliche Firma Ich habe eine Fahrt von Düsseldorf nach Dresden gebucht. Ich habe mit Absicht den letzten Trip gebucht um den Tag in Dresden auszunutzen. Am nächsten Morgen musste ich um 9:30 arbeiten. (Anfahrt : Sonntag 23:15 Dresden- Montag 07:40 Abfahrt in Düsseldorf) Alles ging cool los, bis ich die erste Sms bekommen habe , dass der Bus 1st 50 Verspätung hat. Kein Thema, kann es passieren! Doch jetzt fing der Albtraum erst an. Jede Stunde, bis 5:35, wurde eine SMS verschickt , inder der Bus einfach immer um eine Stunde verschoben wurde. Ich versuchte mehrmals die Hotline anzurufen um mehr Informationen zu bekommen, aber niemand ist dran gegangen. Nach der 7 Sms in der Nacht, ist der Bus endlich angekommen (ungefähr 6 Stunden Verspätung). Leider nicht am gewünschten Zielort Duesseldorf sondern in Leverkusen. Dort wurden alle Mitfahrer ohne Grund und ohne Hilfe einfach Rausgeschmissen . Die Begründung: ''Der Trip ist in Leverkusen vorbei". Nachdem ich mir ein extra Ticket der Bahn bis zum Hbf Düsseldorf gekauft hatte, erreichte ich diesen um 14:40 (7 Stunden später von der vorausichtiliche Zeit). Erstaunlicherweise bekam ich heute eine Email von Flixbus: ,, Sie bekommen wegen der Verspätung eine kostenlose Fahrt mit Flixbus´´. Einfach Peinlich, niemand hat uns eine Erklärung bzw Rückmeldung gegeben, als wir es gebraucht hätten. Danke aber ich fahre nie wieder mit diesem Unternehmen. read more

I had the worst travel experience of my life with FlixBus. My trip started at the Miami Beach (Newport Beachside) stop, which was already a confusing and poorly marked location. The signs could easily be mistaken for the hotel's shuttle, and the lack of clear instructions in my confirmation made things worse. The bus passed right by me at the stop while I was standing there with my luggage! Determined not to miss my trip to Orlando to meet my family for our Disney vacation, I had to chase the bus down in a car and catch up to it at a red light. When I approached the bus, the driver immediately started screaming profanities at me, addressing me in the most disrespectful and racist manner, calling me by my skin color and using offensive names. It was shocking and humiliating. I felt incredibly unsafe, but I had no choice but to get on since I had already paid for my ticket. I had even paid extra for a seat upgrade, but when I found someone else sitting in my assigned seat, the driver refused to assist me. His hostility throughout the experience made me feel completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. FlixBus's lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency is appalling. I would never recommend this company to anyone, especially if you value respect and safety. Avoid FlixBus at all costs! 1/5 stars, only because 0 stars isn't an option. read more

Had a horrible experience with Flixbus!!! I was supposed to board the bus around 1am at the airport in Amsterdam. First the bus was late (which is understandable) but then when the bus finally arrived and I was trying to get on board my printed ticket or the ticket sent to my email would not scan. I showed both my printed ticket and the ticket on my email and everything was okay but for some reason my name was not in their system and they would not let me board the bus. I was trying to reason with them but I was told there must be a problem with the payment and still they would not let me on the bus. So I slept at the airpot in Amsterdam while trying to figure out what to do. It has now been a month and I have emailed flixbus 4 times. After the 1st email I got a reply a week later telling me to explain the situation better because they could see that my name was in their system. I replied to this email with and got a reply blaming me saying that I had missed the bus because it was late and other people had boarded the bus. Since then I have emailed them 3 times and have not heard anything back! I decided to share my experience in case people are trying to decide between bus companies I would say do not choose Flixbus unless you want to be left stranded somewhere in the middle of night and not receive any help regarding it. read more

Ich reise grundsätzlich viel, auch mit Fernbussen seit Einführung. Meistens reise ich dabei mit MeinFernbus, aber da es zu meinem Reisezeitpunkt billiger war mit dem Flixbus nach München zu fahren, wollte ich ihn einmal ausprobieren. Vorteile: + er war pünktlich losgefahren + wenige Mitfahrer, viel Platz Nachteile: - bei der Buchung gab es einige Probleme, da ich umgebucht habe - einen höher wertigeren Gutschein als der Fahrtpreis wird nicht angenommen! - Umbuchung kostet pro Karte 3 Euro - Verspätung von 45 min bei Ankunft - leider Gepäckstück vergessen im Bus, Kundenservice reagiert seit Wochen nicht auf mehrmaliges Anschreiben und Telefonhotline nimmt nicht ab; nach etwa 10 Versuchen aufgegeben. SEHR ÄRGERLICH Besonders ärgerlich finde ich den Service von Flixbus. Nach mehrmaligem Anschreiben und Anrufen habe ich bis jetzt, nach ca. 2 Wochen noch immer keine Rückmeldung erhalten ob mein Gepäckstück gefunden wurde oder nicht. Auch die Buchung dauerte statt wenigen Minuten Tage aufgrund des bereits genannten Gutschein-Problems! Schließlich durch das Personal gebucht. Wenn es geht, werde ich in Zukunft definitiv versuchen eine weitere Fahrt mit Flixbus zu vermeiden! Lieber zahle ich 2-3 Euro mehr und bleibe flexibler und habe auch einen guten Service! read more

I'm absolutely disgusted by the experience I had with FlixBus and the way they handled my complaint. A few days ago, while waiting at the Broxden Park & Ride, I mistakenly boarded a bus headed for Aberdeen. The driver's reaction? Completely rude and dismissive! Instead of a polite response to a simple question, I was met with a condescending and aggressive tone, embarrassing me in front of other passengers. And when I reached out to customer service to report this unprofessional behavior, I received a generic, computer-generated response that did nothing to address the issue. Clearly, FlixBus doesn't care how their customers are treated. I've used FlixBus multiple times in the past, but let's be honest, the only reason I tolerated their poor service was the cheap price. The internet never works, the toilets are often out of service, and the buses themselves are filthy. I could overlook these things for a budget-friendly trip, but dealing with rude, disrespectful employees is where I draw the line. I've deleted the app and will never use FlixBus again. If you're traveling in Scotland, I highly recommend Ember, which offers a far better and more professional service. Do yourself a favor and avoid FlixBus--it's simply not worth the trouble. read more

Ich habe noch nie so einen schlechten Kundenservice erlebt! Der Bus hatte 5 Stunden Verspätung, weswegen ich mit dem Zug fahren musste. Allein das war schon fast 10 Euro teurer (und auch nur weil ich eine Bahncard habe) als ich eigentlich für den Zug bezahlt hätte. Trotz dieser massiven Verspätung wurde mir der Busticketpreis vom Konto abgebucht!!! So etwas geht überhaupt nicht! Auf meine E-Mail kam keine Reaktion, obwohl ich diese schon vor 2 Wochen geschrieben habe. Auch per Post habe ich den ausgefüllten Beschwerdeantrag verschickt - wieder keine Reaktion! Das ist so unmöglich, der Kundenservice hier ist schlechter als bei der Deutschen Bahn - und das soll was heißen! Nachdem ich heute die Hotline angerufen habe und endlich mal durchkam, wurde mir nur gesagt, dass das 4 Wochen dauert bis ich eine Antwort bekomme und man konnte mir nicht einmal versichern, dass ich das Geld zurückbekomme. Ich finde dieses Verhalten so unverschämt! Ich kann nichts dafür wenn Flixbus täglich 2000 E-Mails bekommt! Das ist doch keine Entschuldigung! Wenn ich das Geld nicht bald wieder bekomme, werde ich künftig völlig auf den Flixbus verzichten! Da ist man ja selbst bei der Bahn besser aufgehoben - hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich das mal sagen würde! read more

Unprofessional, Unreliable, and Disrespectful Following a tornado in Gary, IN, my fiancé and I booked FlixBus tickets for Wednesday at 1:25 PM ($70 total) to get to safety. When the bus arrived, the driver explicitly told us it wasn't our bus. However, live app tracking proved that was our scheduled ride. Because of the driver's error, we were stranded and had to pay another $100 for someone to drive all the way from Lafayette to pick us up. To make matters worse, FlixBus customer service was outright horrible: Repeated Misgendering: As a Trans woman, I clearly and politely requested not to be called "sir." The representatives completely ignored this and continued misgendering me throughout the calls. Refusal to Escalate: I asked to speak to a manager seven times, and every request was denied. Disrespect & Unprofessionalism: I called five separate times trying to get a refund or simple answers, only to receive increasing attitude and hostility until they hung up on me multiple times. FlixBus took our money, stranded us after a natural disaster, provided zero accountability, and treated us with total disrespect. Save your money and book elsewhere. read more

FLixBUS hires racist bus drivers. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY Wir sind mit dem Flexibus zum Flughhafen Berlin gefahren und von dortaus in den Urlaub geflogen. Wir sind zurück aus dem Urlaub gekommen und wollten nach Hause mit dem Bus. Wir haben bei der Bushaltestelle mit einer ausländischen Familie gewartet, die auch kleine Kinder hatten und als der Bus ankam und die zwei Busfahrer aus dem Bus gestiegen sind, haben die gleich zu der ausländische Familie gesagt: Sie fahren nicht mit dem Bus. Ihr Argument war, dass ihre Kinder einen Kindersitz brauchen und forderten, dass nur Kinder, die älter als fünf sind, können ohne Kindersitz mit dem Bus mitfahren. Die beiden Busfahrer haben denn gesagt, dass diese Info auf dem Flexibus Website stehen...Was da auf dem Website steht ist das Kinder bis drei Jahre alt müssen eine Kindersitz haben. Weil wir versucht haben, die Famile die weder Enlgisch noch Deutsch sprachen zu verteidigen, durften wir auch letztendlich nicht mit dem Bus fahren. Welcome back to Germany! Ich kann nur Flexibus empfehlen wenn Sie eine Firma unterstüzen wollen, die Ausländer feindliche Busfahrer einstellen. read more

Meine Erfahrung mit FlixBus: Ich studiere in Nürnberg und fahre oft am Wochenende nach München. Bis jetzt bin ich immer mit Mitfahrgelegenheiten gefahren, habe aber eine echte und vor allem günstigere Alternative gefunden! Mein Ticket habe ich online gebucht und dann mit'm Smartphone beim Busfahrer eingecheckt. Dieser hat dann auch gleich um meinen Koffer gekümmert und ihn im Laderaum verstaut. Den richtigen Bus habe ich auch sofort gefunden die Orange-blauen sind ja leicht zu erkennen. Der Bus war auch innen ganz neu, modern ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Einen Platz am Fenster konnte ich auch gleich ergattern und dann habe ich es mir bis München vor meinem Laptop gemütlich gemacht. Die Beinfreiheit ist hier echt genial. Zwischendurch kann man auch Snacks, Getränke oder Kaffee (kostenloser refill an der Kaffeebar:)) kaufen. In München ist der Bus dann zwar mit 5 Minuten Verspätung angekommen, was ich allerdings vollkommen akzeptabel finde. Mein Fazit: Meine neue Mitfahrgelegenheit heißt FlixBus! read more

Horrible. I would give 0 stars if I could. We went a day early to ask the bus driver if our 11 month baby could travel with a baby carrier and if he needed a ticket. He said it was fine and baby travel free. Based on that info we reserved tickets online for the next day from Luxembourg to Brussels. The next day , we artived two hours before departure , the bus driver arrived late and made us wait till the end of the queue with my baby in tow before telling us he wasn't willing to take us without the car seat even though we explained we checked the policy the day before. We then had to unpack all things from the bus. Three things. 2. It never specified what a suitable carrier or seat was for babies, if they need a ticket . We have lost 40 euros and lost time as well as endured humiliation all because we listened to one flix bus driver advice and had another horrible bus driver to deal with. I will never set foot on flix ever again. read more
