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

I paid the extra $4.99 from the prime seating up front since I had surgery on my hip and I wanted whatever extra leg room I could get. This was my experience: - The bus was 25 minutes late -The driver was rude - I was told I couldn't sit the the front row since the other bus driver was sitting in one of the seats. I explained that I had paid for the seat "Like I said you can sit in any seat after row one" I called customer service while I was on the bus and the representative told me I could write a complaint and submit it in for review. Yes the $20 tickets are nice but you really get what you pay for. Cheap tickets for Cheap Service, Cheap Experience, Cheap Respect, Cheap Courtesy. I personally would not recommend the Flix Bus to anyone, but if you find you have no other option to get to where you need to go. Make sure you go in fully aware that this company does not care about you as a customer and the drivers care even less for you as a passenger. 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

DISGUSTING COMPANY, AWFUL SERVICE After more than twenty hours flying from the US to Venice, my girlfriend and I had a bus ticket to go from Venice Airport to the town of Cortina de Ampezzo. I received a message informing that the bus was cancelled and some minutes later, I received another message informing that the bus was simply delayed. I called Flixbus and their agent confirmed that it was delayed. Same thing appeared in the tracking section of Flixbus website. After a tiring couple of hours waiting, there was no sign of any arriving bus. The office did not reply to our numerous phone calls as it was not office time anymore. It was much later than the delayed arrival time that appeared on the website. Finally, an Italian customer managed to contact a local agent in Italian and informed us that the bus got finally cancelled. It was already night and still, the information on the website showed that the bus was delayed. Should I still be waiting? As we had to arrive to Cortina de Ampezo urgently, we decided to take a taxi and it was obviously very EXPENSIVE. It was the only way to get there at that time as there wasn´t any other bus available. I have sent Flixbus several emails informing and complaining about this situation and THEY NEVER REPLIED. I have spent a good amount of money on INTERNATIONAL calls to Flixbus, but NEVER GOT HELPED. It has been now one month and half since then, and STILL WAITING FOR compensation or at least, APOLOGIES. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. TERRIBLE. They really deserve some sort of CONDEMNATION. 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

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

The bus from Boston to New York was supposed to leave at 10:00am from this weird parking lot. At exactly at 10:00 they email saying the bus is cancelled for 'operational reasons' which somehow didn't surface before the time of departure (?) If we learnt about this information earlier we could have saved so much time. The booked us on another bus leaving 3 hours later. It was a cold rainy day. The bus stop was located in a parking lot far away from shops, sitting area or any civilization. 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

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

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

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

I took Flixbus in Germany (Wuerzburg to Freiburg). Online it showed the bus was 50 minutes late. We waited patiently but only saw a bus with a sign going the opposite direction (Weimar instead of Freiburg). Later we discovered that this WAS our bus! The driver just had the wrong signage. We talked to another bus driver who didn't seem to care at all and just told us we can take the next one at 2:10 pm but we'll have to order tickets (and pay! again!) online, otherwise the driver won't take us due to insurance requirements. So we paid again. The 2:10 bus was an hour late. So I ended up spending about 4 1/2 hours just waiting at the bus stop. And for this I got to pay twice. Great going, Flixbus! 9/12/19 Thanks to Flixbus USA I finally received a response from Flixbus in Europe, and also received a refund for the original bus fare. So I'll add one star. read more

Extremely rude and unprofessional drivers. I'm injured with broken left arm and driver refuse to get my language out the trunk for me, as well told me that's not his job. He had zero compassion or willingness to help disabled me. He also insisted to seat someone next to me by my broken arm although there were more seats open. He was very inconsiderate of my medical situation: I hope I never see him again. this happened on the UCLA- Berkeley night bus, bus number 504 read more

My bus driver left us at the break. We were ordering the food and my food came on time and my friend's was 2 minutes late. The bus driver decided to leave us although our friends on the bus were telling the bus driver to stop for like couple minutes but I heard that he got mad and just left us. As we got out of the store, we could see the bus leaving us and never stopped. We were never refunded the money since they have rules to be strict on "time". They were late to take us at the different location though. It really makes me question the character of the driver. It was the worst experience in bus service industry. I will never use the service again and I would do whatever it takes to shut this business down once I am 7-9 figure earner. Here is the details of the bus ticket: March 4 at 9:45 am Downtown Las Vegas Driver: black guy 6'2 with fat frame black glasses that sounds super stressed out. Speaking really harshly on the announcement. read more

@FlixBus left my mom at a rest stop. When we called and tried to get resolution and get in touch with the driver, they told us to file a form and hung up the phone. Baggage continued the journey with the bus. Never. Again. read more

They should have an option of no stars. Bus is delayed and they won't refund your money. You call customer service and they "only have" one person working. Says he can't give refunds. Horrible service. Do not use or recommend to anyone!!!! read more

Horrible! Bus never arrived (although we arrived early and waited nearly an hour before finding alternative--expensive--way to get to our destination). They won't reimburse for bus that never came. Never use Flixbus. 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

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. I would give this zero stars if I could. Booked a greyhound bus to Boston through them. Waited at my pickup spot since 15 min before the arrival time to 1 hour after- no bus, no updates. Tried calling them several times- first 4 times phone was cut automatically. next I was on hold for 20 min before the phone got cut. But the cherry on top was the time when a representative actually picked up the phone after an 18 minute wait. All she could say was she couldn't help me. She would have to reach out to grey hound and find out what was going on- then I would receive an email/text and I would have to call them back after that. I asked if she could put me on hold while she follow up with grey hound- no she couldn't. Could she call me back with the information- nope. Another passenger had booked with grey hound directly- called them and found out quickly that the bus was cancelEd and they immediately issued a refund to her. It was now an hour and 45 minutes after the supposed pick up time. I gave this information to the representative and asked what she could do to get me to Boston as I had a flight to catch. She said outright"nothing". I requested a refund and she said she could not start a refund because it was not yet 2 hours after the pick up time. I asked if she could start a refund when the 2 hours were over- which would be in 15 minutes. I couldn't believe the nerve- she said she couldn't and asked me to call back in 15 minutes. They don't have a service industry mindset- just want to get your money for a service not provided. read more

I booked 2 round trip tickets for two passengers on one reservation, the total purchase cost was 169 USD. Two hours after purchase I needed to cancel, I began calling the company and chatting and couldn't get a hold of anyone until almost 24 hours later and was charged four (4) 20 dollar fees totaling 80 dollars to cancel. I requested a supervisor and was told there was no escalation available. I feel robbed and taken advantage of. I spent 169 and only got back 85. I think that is excessive and abusive. Buyer beware, there are better bus companies out there. This is a scam read more

Worst company ever don't book with them. I had a reservation for a trip but the bus never showed up. We(all of the passenger) waited there for an hour and half and it still didn't show up.

Whatever you do, do not use Flixbus. They are unreliable and have poor customer service. Our bud broke down during our trip which was to be a 2hr journey, but turned into a 6+ hour event when the bus started to smoke and leak fluids everywhere! We were stranded on the side of the road on a bridge with no exits for 4+ hours until another bud could arrive. Flixbus has a policy where they will refund you if the trip was delayed more than 2 hours, but when I requested a refund they claimed my trip was on time and refused a refund. I provided photos of the broke down bus and clearly we were delayed far more than 2 hours. Their customer support is terrible and they refuse to assume responsibility for their actions. Do not be fooled by the low price. It's low for a reason. read more

Today's trip was very expensuve and the stops were a disaster. Before getting to Faro, there was a stop at a rest starion w restrooms and food. The driver said something, but nobody could hear him. I wnet all the way from the back seat to ask. He said 15 break. I yelled to all in Portuguese and English and every got off. We left Lisbon late too. The lines to buy food were too long and slow. I planned to eat something on Faro where we had more than an hour stop. There was no station. No food. No bathrooms and little shade from the sun. The bus came a bit late. Only one baggage door was opened. All bags were piled high. The other side was empty. The driver said there is no restroom.stop before Seviile. We are on a non-Flix bus now. Very strange company. Their busses do not have the promised amenities. Take a different bus, please! read more

Toilets with no sink water - disgusting! I booked a 3.5 hour coach journey from Lisbon to Lagos. Obviously, anyone will need to pee on a journey this length - so I chose FlixBus as it advertised having toilets. Once I finished I realised the sink had NO water. None. I asked the bus driver and he casually replied, 'There is no water' - as if this wasn't an issue. Breathtaking arrogance! Fortunately, I know how appalling customer service is across Portugal and I'd packed a big pack of baby wipes just in case. FlixBus are truly appalling - avoid! read more

Tried to reschedule multiple times due to flight arrival time change. Wanted to change back to my original booking, but ended with $20 cancellation fee and lost service charge (ticket was $26.99 + 3.99 seevice charge) and 2 separate vouchers totalling $6.99. Trying to rebook/change back to the original time, but the booking system only allows using a single voucher and rescheduling does not allow voucher at all. Had to call customer service to combine the voucher. The lady said she was working on it and put me on hold for a long time until I hung up. Called them back and the new lady told me to use online chat instead because they couldn't combine vouchers! I ended up finding an online form to fill out. Now I don't know when I will get the combined voucher to rebook my seat which I need later today. Seriously? Why don't they just allow using multiple vouchers to save all this trouble? Also, rescheduling is a rip off if you try to change within 3 days of the trip. They should understand that flight times change last minute and shouldn't charge cancellation fee for rescheduling. 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 took a Flixbus from Budapest to Krakow August 2, 2021. Unfortunately at the end of the trip, since I hade an urgent need for visiting the bathroom, I forgot my laptop which was placed in the net in front of my designated seat. As soon as I realised this, probably 15 minutes later the bus was already gone. I contacted the administration and filled out all necessary forms but unfortunately my laptop was never returned to me. I insisted to the administrator to call the drivers immediately but he said that we will follow the standard proceedings in these situations. This laptop that was lost on the bus was my work laptop and hence very valuable. All my important documents and software was stalled on it. Although I made a mistake to forget it for 15 min (and believe me I blame myself for it as well), Flixbus employees could have done much more to help me out. Whoever took my laptop caused me and my students a lot of stress and pain, since my teaching will be impacted negatively by this incident. Best, Mac BOOKING NUMBER: #1101114050 read more

I came to support to help solve issue and a clear miscommunication between the information I received for my trip from FlixBus via email. Leading me to go wait at a previous bus stop location in the falls and missing the bus for my partner and myself. I sent all the information I received from Flixbus, just to get a generic "terms and conditions" answer and then have the chat ended by the agent. I work with a support team and this is absolutely baffling quality attention to the client. Spent money on a service they provide, just to not be able to use it and have no resolution when contacting the support. Absurd. read more

WORST BUS LINE IN THE USA!! EASILY! The busses are dirty, have no space and worst of all, sometimes dont even show up! i had a bus scheduled for 815am in the morning and the bus literally never even showed up. then when the 9am bus showed up the guys said we could not get on that we had missed our bus. in the very limited english he spoke he just kept saying, late, late, late. even though we and about 30 other people were all there waiting since about 745am. stay away from FLIXBUS. go with greyhound, peter pan or another professional service. especially in the northeast area. not to mention how danger there drivers drive. it is scary to be honest.

FLIX SUCX! NOT SAFE! I was left behind at an irregular stop for a break. Driver let us out for a break. Barley 15 people in the bus, driver didnt even care to cross check the passangers. Just took off with my luggage. Costed me more than $200 to reach destination( houston to dallas 7am to 11.45am). No public or private services available around that place( no cabs no trains or no other bus stations) He gave us less then 10 min at an irregular stop( which i am not aware off)for a break at bucees gas station. I had to call the police to for help and they called a tow truck for a ride to nearest flix bus station 12pm( paid myself). Flix didnt or get me a connecting ride and aksed me to stay at the unknown parking lot for another 7hrs to next ride. Finally they told me to get a greyhound to reach destination(had to walk a mile and paid my own ticket to dallas and reached at 5pm. Flix didnt help me in anyway but just lied to submit the receipts to claim my charges later. ‐---------------------------------------------- After claiming, Their response is: We would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please note that as per our T&Cs, during breaks/stops or police checks, bus passengers are to leave the bus if requested to do so by driving and service personnel. Passengers are required to follow the break duration given by driving and service personnel during said breaks. Driving personnel are authorized to continue driving should a passenger not return to the bus after the indicated break time is over, and are not responsible for the absence of a passenger after the indicated break time is over. We, therefore have to decline your request for the refund of your additional costs. We would like to assure you of FlixBus reliability and welcome you aboard the green buses again soon. Kind Regards, FlixBus. read more

I would rate this company lower than 1 star but the system doesn't allow this. Last minute cancellation of our trip from Paris to Milan and rebooked on a later multi stop bus causing us to miss our onward connection. Further cost involved in purchasing more tickets to our final destination. None of the advertised features that we paid for were available, Panoramic front window seats, WIFI, USB charging ports, Snacks and drinks available for purchase was a lie. Avoid this company if you possibly can. 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
