This bus services charges entirely to much for the low quality of service they give , paying 100$ + for a bus ride or more, to still have to ride a filthy stinky bus & get terrible service. So not worth it , go to Vonlane or Red Coach . They should have better drivers who don't harass their customers because there miserable. This driver harassed the shit out of me about a backpack, that was the correct size for a Carry on , I intentionally bought it to carry on . Because the backpack was full he felt like it should go under the bus , I told him no , it's the correct size to carry on . The he harassed everyone the entire ride about seats & everything else . He's a terrible driver & needs to be removed.

Horrible. My son bought a ticket to NYC and when he got to the station they told him his ticket doesn't work and there is no seat on the bus. Then he called and they said that the bus has left and would not refund as people got on the bus but he did not?? He is a student so tries to save money and that is the whole reason he got this ticket... so it is shameful a bus company would do that. read more

I accidentally scheduled a bus ticket for the wrong date. When I called to get this fixed the day I was supposed to leave, the date on the ticket had already passed. So I was told I would be given a voucher for the missed trip. At this point its the end of my trip and I want to go home but the refund request could take a few days. So I was advised to buy a new ticket until I get the voucher. So, l I bought another ticket thinking I'll be refunded and I waited for the voucher. Nothing happened. I called back again and was then told that there would be no voucher provided and a refund would not be given since it was passed a due date. When I tried to explain to the rep on the phone what had happened and what I was told he basically said he didnt care and that it was my fault for not reading the terms and conditions. I was furious so I asked to speak to a manager. He refused. I then asked for his name and employee number he refused again, then hung up on me. I would've never bought another ticket from this lying, money grubbing company if I would've known about this policy when I called the first time. I will NEVER buy another thing from this company ever again! Avoid this company like the plague! They WILL lie to you in order to get your money and will lie to cover their own asses! read more

I was left behind at a rest stop three hours from my destination. All of my luggage was lost. Customer support has been absolutely, utterly unhelpful. They claim there is no real way to recover my belongings. They are evasive and offer no assistance. Getting to speak to an actual person was an extremely laborious process. While I was ultimately allowed to speak to someone, they offered only cursory expressions of sympathy and refused to acknowledge both my distress and the magnitude of the incident. Flixbus is only a shell company and because of this they evade all responsibility for their passengers, their passengers' belongings, and the conduct of their drivers. They do not know where their buses are, who their drivers are, or what the ID of any given bus even is. Do not take Flixbus unless you absolutely have to, and if you do, be careful; they are cheap for a reason. read more

Las Vegas to LA, Montclair bus has Worst bossy staff doesn't love to do their job. Another person with driver who help's passengers to board was very rude and doesn't listen to passengers at all. He guided us incorrectly for luggage storage. At our dropoff locations he doesn't want to open luggage compartment and was rudely blaming us for not following his instructions instead while bording he didn't observe that we were not going till LA our stop was before that and instruct us to keep our luggage in open compartment (it was only one open compartment) how as passengers we are suppose to know that it was for LA passenger. Please, give proper training to your staff about costumer rights and better/ clear communication skills because passengers are not school kid they are adults. read more

We booked out tickets from DC to New York were at the bus stop since 6 AM no bus ever came. We had to google a phone number since there was no contact info any where in the ticket. Finally after 20 minute wait the rep that answered the phone was rude and did not facilitate helpful info, basically it was wait at bus stop for 2 hours and if bus does not come you can claim a refund and if you leave you lose your money! Service was awful. Fortunately we ran into a VAMOOSE bus and they were kind enough to accommodate us and their customer service was exceptionally good. never ride flix bus! read more

I had bought 2 tickets for a bus from Green Bay, WI to Milwaukee, WI, and I was misinformed on the location of the bus stop, so I ended up missing the bus. When I called I asked for an exchange in my tickets for the following day and was told that it could not be done, so I then asked for a refund since this incident was not my fault, but was then told I also could not get a refund. I believe this is extremely unfair considering the fact that I was misinformed on the bus stop, and it was absolutely not my fault in any way. I feel I have been robbed by this company and treated unfairly, I believe I am at least entitled to a refund, my booking # 3122768178 read more

If I could give this no stars I would. The bus was over two hours late with no explanation. Once we all got on the bus the driver proceeded to walk inside the bus stop building for 15 minutes after already being so late. The rep on the phone was no help and "didn't know what was going on" and promised to "call back once it was figured out." There was no apology, explanation, or anything of the sorts to explain the 2 hour delay. Don't use this service read more

The driver of Flixbus said it would cost 69.25 Euros for me and my 3 children to go from Annecy to Geneva but once we got in board he demanded 125 Euros and I had to pay because our bags were on board and the children were tired! Greedy man took the money and pocketed it and gave me no receipt or booking reference. When I questioned him he was rude and aggressive. I have his photo and video evidence. Terrible company and terrible customer service and GREEDY RUDE DRIVETS! read more

I'm a loyal Flixbus customer but that's all going to change. They cancelled my bus ticket less than 24 hours from departure due to bus problems and they wouldn't offer me a refund, only a different departure time or a voucher. The newly created ticket had a different arrival time and pickup location that wouldn't work for me and they were unwilling to change it or offer me a full refund. Be very careful of this company. read more

I would give 0 star if I could! Worse bus ever! Our was supposed to get going at 6:15 am, 40 mins later, 30 people standing in cold on some parking lot with no seating, no bathroom,... they text us this: Greetings from FlixBus! "Unfortunately, there is currently an unknown delay for your trip. We are now working on a solution to get you to your destination as soon as possible. We send you updates as soon as additional information becomes available to us. Safe travels and our apologies for this inconvenience!" then 15 min later: " your trip is cancelled!" read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. First of all mind you I travel monthly on Flixbus and I purchased a ticket and got to the destination early with time to spare as I see the driver pulling off. I stopped my car infront of him and got out waving my hands and he drove round me and left. I still had 10minutes left until departure time and called customer service complaining. I explained please help me today is my daughters bday and she is really expecting me to arrive this afternoon. They said sorry we cant help and said I had to pay full price for the next bus. I went and booked a new ticket paying double the price and adding an additional 6 hours to my trip for the next bus. He showed up 45 mins late as a greyhound bus. Since the tracking app DOES NOT work on the website to figure out where your bus is at and since the GREYHOUND bus driver did not make an announcement saying this is the FLIXBUS replacement then I lost my money on that ticket as well not realizing that it was the bus I had to get one. I called customer support and they could care less, no refund, no understanding to put me on the next bus, no compassion on any level all they care about is taking my money. U am now out almost $100 for a simple ride to Kissimmee that costs $36. Now I have to pay another $60 to ride on a competitor. Dont worry Flixbus I will copy and paste while posting a negative review on every single review site while im here kicked back riding your competitors bus to my destination today and I will never ride your bus again or delete my reviews until you resolve this. read more

I am a broke college student. If you are also a broke college student this is the bus for you. It got me from my hometown to my college town and they have a port so I could charge my devices. This in turn allowed me to write a whole essay that was due. On the way back home. i would give this a 3.7 Stars. I got here way to early. But there is no need to be mor Ethan 30 min early. If you arrive at least 10-15 min early the bus will Either be very punctual or liek 5 min late max. read more

Don't waste your time or money! The service from NYC to Washington DC was an embarrassment. The driver barely spoke English and pretended not to hear but somehow he could hear on his cell phone and the one Mandarin speaking passenger. He refused to activate the seat power and then the overhead lights were off. On for one hour and then off again and he wouldn't reply even at intermediate stop when he wasn't actively driving. I complained to Flix and instead of taking responsibility they said they just contract with other bus companies so drivers and equipment isn't their issue. So I guess their only issue is take passenger money! read more

Horrible/non-existent customer service. Problems with the website ended up with me paying over $500 for one round trip to NYC from Toronto. Asked them for assistance and they did nothing to help. I will never use this company again. Please do not use this company, it will lead to delays, missed buses, and you'll pay more than a flight. Additionally, they own no buses of their own. Instead, they hire out random drivers and coach buses so there's no consistency. Additionally, if you leave behind anything on the bus you'll never get it back because these are random coach buses and not a part of the company. read more

flixbus is an example of how cheap and sub standard Canada's services are slowly becoming. the drivers should be experienced and well trained on customer service. it almost reminded me of some of the Indian private bus services. That's really bad ! This is the last time I will take their services. read more

I've been using flixbus for almost a year now and it's been a fine experience with hem up untill today. The bus driver of the bus I was supposed to take from Rhode island to New York decided to park around the corner from the street they usually park on so I don't see him untill he was already pulling away from the curb. I ran up to the window and banged on it for him to open it and he refused. He yelled at me that it was too late and that he's been sitting there since 11 in the morning and drove off. It was extremely rude and when I called customer service to complain I spent 10 minutes waiting for someone to pick up all for her to tell me that she couldn't do anything on her part because I missed the bus and that I would have to write up a formal complaint for them to conduct a further investigation. Never taking them again! read more

Cheap, but not worth it. The buses are always late, sometimes 2-3 hours, and they don't really keep you updated about delays. This has caused me to not make my connecting bus more than once. I have been told that I would get a full refund in the past, after having to buy new tickets and a hotel stay in a foreign city - but after several months of going back and forth, I had to give up. They have horrible customer service, and they don't pay you back for the mistakes that they inevitably make. I would definitely not recommend. read more

NEVER fucking use this company. First off they're always late. We paid extra for assigned seats but the bus that showed up was a different model and we didn't get our assigned seats and no one knew where to sit, it was a shit show. On the way back the bus arrived 30minutes late with no announcement that it had arrived either by txt or by someone going to the pick up area and telling us. Also the bus was visibly obscured by another flixbus that happened to be there for drop off only, we found out later. So we missed our bus because we had no idea that it had even arrived. The drop off only bus did announce that they were drop off only though (it arrived about 20 minutes after our supposed departure time). We got a txt at the supposed departure time saying the bus was going to be 20-30 minutes late - they could have notified us sooner! I called Customer service and an automated message asks if you want a fucking survey, then said my wait time would be 18 minutes. About 26 minutes later some loser answered and then said it was OUR fault that we missed the bus, despite the circumstances and chaos, and even though we arrived 15 minutes before the supposed departure time as instructed. It's like he didn't hear a word I said, and this dipshit company gives idiot peons like this guy power of decision and power to hang up on you with no oversight, and there's no way to reconnect in case the line disconnects after a long wait, and this is all WHILE you're trying to get a new bus to get back home!! And by the way, about 5 minutes after we arrived, a DIFFERENT Flixbus bus showed up, which was neither of the two I mentioned above, dropped off some people and then left, with no announcement or communication as to what was going on. The whole situation was very confusing. Also the tickets were not the super cheap ones, ours were $40 per person one way and then $50 per person on the way back, and that's not counting the money we lost on the bus that left without us. This company is incredibly unprofessional and utterly disorganized. You might be ok just by chance but it's totally unreliable. You're better off paying a little extra and getting something reliable if you actually care about your itinerary... UPDATE: as of writing this, we had to book another bus with this fucked up company because it was the only one available so we could get home. The bus showed up on time at the departure time of 8:30, unloaded some people, then the driver told all waiting that he had to drop off some people in down town Las Vegas and then come back!! lol - are you fucking kidding me?? So now we're waiting on this bus to go and come back in Friday traffic at 8:30pm on the Vegas strip, that's going to be at LEAST 30 minutes, probably more like an hour or more realistically speaking. REALLY, really, really STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! read more

Yuk!!! The bus stinks! The head rests are torn and duck taped! Wow this is awful. No way I can relax. It smells and feels like Bourbon street came with us. I am so sad...this so much easier than going through the airport...but I should have. The mega bus was so much nicer. read more
Flixbus is super cheap. The service fees are low and if you book early out enough, you can find some great $4.99 fares. The rides themselves, when adhering to schedule, are pretty pleasant and quick. I've only taken the Sacramento to SF round-trip connection as it makes a stop in Oakland, so my review is reflective of this experience only. In my experience the buses have been cleaner and felt newer than other private transit I've utilized before. I have taken maybe 50 trips over Flixbux over the past year. I would do the Sac-Oak connection pretty much every weekend. Initially, it was great. Oakland is exactly where I need to be. It's much cheaper than Amtrak, less sketchy than Greyhound, and saves me a BART/Uber to/from the City as I would have to with Megabus. Seemed like an all-around great deal. And for the first 9 months or so, the service was great. Yes, there would be delays here and there, but typically no more than 30 minutes. (For reference, Megabus which seems most similar in service and price to Flixbus, is almost never delayed. I've taken Megabus about 30 times and only had trips that were delayed a handful of times). A few months ago, I noticed the delays were becoming longer and longer. The longest I'd stuck it out was 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, Flixbus's customer service phone number is pretty much nonexistent. They keep you on hold forever, or tell you there are no agents available to help. So if your bus doesn't show up and you want to know where it is, you're out of luck. They do have a bus tracker which in theory is a fantastic idea in terms of figuring out where your bus is geographically at a certain point in time, but it almost never works. I think I've only seen it work for maybe 5 out of the ~50 trips I've taken. And I even have the app. This to me, is the biggest downside to Flixbus's service: the uncertainty. The feeling of standing alone with your luggage on a random sidewalk (not even a proper station with employees you can direct questions to), and wondering "Will my bus be here in 3 minutes or 3 hours?). If they could just be transparent about delays, I could occupy my time with something else. I could go grab a meal or go back home briefly so I don't have to wait in the cold (or worse, the 110° Sacramento summers). But they aren't. Often, you won't get a text or email about delays. You have to go on the app or mobile site yourself and check, and often it's only updated AFTER the scheduled departure time. So what's the point? This is problematic for multiple reasons. You aren't just wasting your money on your fare. You're spending additional money to get to your destination another way (for me, it's usually Amtrak which is the most expensive option because I can't just NOT get home for the night). You're wasting your time waiting at a bus stop for a bus that may never come. They do technically have a refund policy that you can contact via email form on their website, but only for delays over 120 minutes. If you're waiting for an hour and a half, you're outta luck. I've submitted about 10 claims at this point, but only have ever gotten ONE successful refund, ever. And it took about 30 business days to get that response--that's not a typo. 30 BUSINESS DAYS. For these reasons, I cannot in good conscience recommend Flixbus as a company. If you are broke and this is the only method of transportation you can afford for longer distances, then okay, maybe you can risk the delays. If your money is more valuable than your time--sure, give them a shot. But if you require reliability in a transportation service, or don't want to waste your time, or would prefer not to wait in the dark streets of West Oakland for 2 hours with no updates from the app and no way to contact customer service, then absolutely, 100% stay away from Flixbus. You have other options that do have their own advantages and disadvantages (my preference is Megabus, Amtrak, and Greyhound in that order) but at least one thing they all have in common is that their vehicles show up and get you to your destination relatively on time. And at least if Amtrak or Greyhound are delayed, you have a station with food, bathrooms, and employees around to service you, rather than being stranded in alone in a dark street with no notification or direction. EDIT: Daniel, the ubiquitous customer service manager who is responded to me, continues to hold consumers liable for Flixbus's negligence rather than taking responsibility for the lack of contracted service and transparency (which has already been paid for, mind you). He has told me I should contact social media instead of their customer service line, which I obviously had done before with no substantial response. He claims my cell/email info was not listed and therefore I could not receive delay notices or status updates--then why have I received some of them, and why would my contact info magically disappear from my account? Horrible, horrible customer service. read more

First and last time I use this bus. Late arrival, rude staff. We arrived to the bus stop 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival time on the boarding pass. However, the bus was over 30 minutes late. When the bus driver got out, we approached him to show him our boarding pass. The driver responded in a hostile manner saying "sir I just need the last 4 numbers of your boarding pass." It was my first time traveling on this bus so I wasnt sure where that was on our boarding pass and as I tried to ask him for help he just kept repeating the same answer more aggressively. I was shocked by his attitude. My friend and I even asked him if there was a problem and he kept on repeating his answer. He then finally took the time to help us get the number. After that, a woman asked him the same question but he had no problem being polite to her right in front of us. Needless to say i wont be traveling in this bus ever again if their drivers cant even treat all their passangers with basic decency. read more

this is my second time riding with flix bus and I was very disappointed in the service this time around, so disappointed that I do not think I will be riding with flix again. I was traveling with my friend and we arrived at the station early at the same place that the bus had arrived the first time. according to the ticket we were supposed to be waiting in the downstairs area (the place we had been waiting the first time we rode the bus) but the bus had actually picked up at a different location which was upstairs. we were not aware that the bus pickup location had changed so we missed the bus. after missing the bus I attempted to call customer service, which took multiple tries to achieve because of how complicated they make it to reach an actual person to talk to about situations. Once I reached the person (after at least 10 mins) I told her what had happened and that we hadn't been updated on the new location because on our ticket it said that we were going to be picked up downstairs. She didn't help at all and did not care that we had missed our bus. We were looking for a refund or for a help in changing our ticket to a later departure time, but she did not care. She didn't apologize or offer any help with anything. flix makes it so complicated to get a hold of anyone from customer service and they make it just as complicated to receive help after contacting someone, they are not understanding and they need to fix their system because it is not working. read more

I was taking a bus from Naples to Miami, and the bus showed up to Naples 1.5 hours late. I arrived to Miami 2.5 hours late at 11pm, a time when my ride was no longer available, so I had to spend even more money to get to my final destination. The more concerning part, is the bus was over capacity by 10-15 people! There were people literally standing in the isle of the bus (2.5 hours with traffic). Additionally, the bus driver had said he had been driving the entire day without a break (likely over the maximum driving hours allowed by the state of Florida). I was legitimately fearful for my own safety. I was promptly told by Alban in customer service that the bus driver "because he was behind he probably didn't take a break". He followed up by letting me know that the terms and conditions do not prohibit the bus line from booking and operating an overcapacity bus. Neither problem was reason enough for a refund. Both of these problems are gross negligence and will be reported to the Florida Department of Transportation. Never again will I use this bus line under any circumstances. read more

Horrible Experience with FlixBus - Please Read! Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! I took a bus on October 27th, 2019 from Phoenix, AZ to Anaheim, CA with a transfer in Los Angeles to get to Anaheim and realized I left my bag in the undercarriage of the bus as it took off. No big deal. They can take it down at the end-stop and I can retrieve it (which I believe was San Diego). I contacted FlixBus - they said I had to fill out an online form for a missing item. I did that. 2 weeks went by and they said they couldn't find my 50lb suitecase?!!! Come on! Thing is, I had 2 brand new pairs of shoes, new clothes and a Playstation 4 with a bunch of games, so I'm sure if they opened it they are going to keep it. Because that's exactly what it seems like. October 27th is when I traveled and a month later - I've contacted them over 5 times. They cannot do anything over the phone and have to contact their lost and found department via email only where in which THEY DO NOT CONTACT ME BACK FOR ANYTHING FOR OVER 3 WEEKS! I'm so irate and sad at the same time as I had pretty much everything in that bag and they treat it as nothing! I can't get a call back or an email back from them - even after calling and sending multiple emails to them about the situation. Beware! They will not help at all! I would take a Greyhound instead of FlixBus if I ever need to take a bus again. Horrible experience! read more

The Worst! No other words can describe the service offered by Flixbus. If you can use any other service, I would recommend it. My family and I were chose Flixbus to travel from Spain to Portugal and it was a nightmare. For the duration of a 6hour drive, we had no AC and no air circulation. When made aware, the company informed me that it was unfortunate and that they would offer us 20% and could do more because we had already travelled... Because, of course, we were suppose to know the AC wouldn't work and the bus would reach 39 degrees celsius... No efforts were made to resolve the issue, even when I reached out to the company DURING the trip. Terrible service. Stay away. read more
Bus was nice, new, clean. Driver was curt, but efficient enough. Price is fair. But actually GETTING the bus??? Sheesh. First bus never showed up. They later claim it did, but nope. Second bus also was a no-show. The app is supposed to show its whereabouts but just said they had no contact with the bus. We called and he promised to call, or notify me through the app. Never did. So I called again and this guy had me on hold for a while but promised the bus was coming in 30-45 minutes. And it came at the 45 minute mark! But that was 90 minutes late. Then I called to get a refund. They deny the first bus was late but the tickets were unused so they would issue a refund -- less a 15 euro charge per ticket (and each ticket was 9 euros). So we pay for a ride we didn't use. Their Customer Service is a sad joke. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. Bus driver left my sister and her three young children stranded during a bathroom break. They had a scheduled 15min bathroom break, and when my sister returned after 5 minutes, the bus was gone. Took all of her belongings, and left her stranded with her young children in Kingman AZ. After she was able to contact company, she got the go ahead for me to meet at the stop in Henderson to retrieve her belongings. While I sat and waited at the stop, the driver sped right past it, not even stopping or slowing down for pedestrians in the parking lot. I followed the bus and we were going 30mph through the parking lot just to keep up with him. After flagging him down, and telling him the situation, he told me to pull over so I could get the items. I pulled over just for the driver to pass me and wave while doing so. Sister once again called company, who contacted driver. Driver stated that there was no belongings of hers on the bus. This whole situation put my sister, who is a struggling mother just trying to provide for her children, in a very dangerous predicament. We have heard some bad reviews about this company and their drivers in the past, but we thought we would give them a shot. Oh and on top of this disgusting behavior from their driver, he also told passengers that they were not allowed to use cellphones on his bus, and if the did, they would be removed. Please pay attention to the bad reviews!!! We would NEVER recommend them to anyone. read more

I traveled with Flixbus for the first time on Nov 11 2019, at 22:45 from Rome to Milan. I sat on the corner back seat on the upper floor. Long story short, I was DESTROYED by bed bugs bites (see pictures). The bugs bites gave me hitching and red skin for the next 2 weeks before and at 6 weeks I still have bumps and rough skin. It's awful! I contacted Flixbus through their website and they took ages to respond and did not want to take responsibility. read more

** I tried to resolve the issues described below directly with FlixBus first, but couldn't find a phone number and got no response via my emails or online chat requests and the link to their customer service always had an error message ** I started my journey in Austin, TX to Richardson, TX on 2/18. I showed up in a parking lot and waited for my first FlixBus to arrive. TWO neon green Flixbuses ended up arriving at two different curb side locations ("Driver A" heading southbound on I-35 service road and "Driver B" heading Westbound on 6th St.) I started with Driver B on 6th since most of the other passengers were lined up on the street curb by that bus (no FlixBus signage anywhere). Driver B didn't know which bus was going to Dallas/Richardson, but the other passengers finally got a confirmation that Driver A was the correct bus. Without much direction from the driver we loaded our bags under the bus and set off to Dallas without any issue. We made a stop in Deep Ellum on the way up. I made a mental note of it because that was where my original return bus was leaving from on 2/27. I noticed that the pick up was, again, on the street curb area in front of the building address in my itinerary. Again, no FlixBus identification that I could see anywhere. Fast forward to my return date of 2/27. I received an email the night before saying my 9:05am bus from Deep Ellum got canceled (which was problem #1 of many) and I could either request a refund or book a different return bus "at no cost". I booked a later bus (12:15pm) from a location in downtown Dallas which turned out to be a Greyhound bus terminal. I arrived at the location at 12:00 and waited curb side (as I had done and seen with all other locations so far on my journey). There were other people standing with bags, too. 12:15 rolls around and I still don't see the neon green Flixbus. I check the app and it says delayed to 12:21 so I continue to wait outside. 12:30 rolls around and no sight of the Flixbus so I decide to go inside where I see that it's a bus terminal where GREYHOUND buses are going through the middle of the building to pick people up (not seen from the outside/front of the building). I asked someone inside about FlixBus and they didn't know anything about it. I ended up finding a person who made an announcement about a bus leaving and he said my bus had already left.???? I went to the ticket counter and explained my situation and the lady behind the counter said I'd have to buy another pass, which I did, but for more money than my original pass. So, I wait the 3 hours for the 4:00pm bus. That bus turned out to be a Greyhound bus, not a neon green FlixBus that I had been expecting and looking for. I finally get on board the 4:00 bus with the other passengers. Once on board the female driver proceeds to lecture everyone in a very curt (NOT COURTEOUS!) way about "if you can't keep your voices down you must move to the back of the bus". I like good noise control in public spaces, but nobody was talking over a normal conversation level while we were waiting to leave, but she kept threatening passengers who she felt were talking too loud (again we hadn't left the bus station yet). She ultimately made one man move TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!!??. Seriously?. Another man, who was not talking, refused to move to the back. And a third man, who wasn't involved in the moving took it upon himself to get off the bus altogether because of the tone/mood the driver had set, which was very intense. That third man never got back on the bus. Terrible experience. Will never use FlixBus again. 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

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

Absolut inakzeptabel! Die Abfahrt findet erst mit 2 Stunden Verspätung an, die allerdings nur stückchenweise kommuniziert wurde, sodass man leider an der Haltestelle warten musste (danke für 120 verschwendete Minuten meines Lebens!!!). Anschließend warten wir auf der Autobahn weitere 3 Stunden wegen eines angeblichen Staus, der - liest man die Verkehrsbenachrichtigungen - maximal 30 Minuten hätte dauern dürfen. So werden aus einem 12 € Ticket mit geplanter Fahrtzeit von 3 Stunden von Berlin nach Hamburg auf einmal Kosten von 212 € (aufgrund der späten Ankunft um 3 Uhr morgens musste ich mir ein neues Hotelzimmer suchen und ein Taxi nehmen). Zu guter letzt erhält man als Antwort vom Kundendienst eine automatische Nachricht, man könne nichts für mich tun. Danke für nichts Flixbus! Ich kann dich NICHT weiterempfehlen. Könnte ich 0 Sterne geben, würde ich es tun. Ihr seid leider noch UNZUVERLÄSSIGER als die restlichen Alternativen am Markt! Schade schade, den Hype um dich als Unternehmen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. 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
