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

Bus was from Berlin to venice. With one stop in Dresden. They drop you off in Dresden that is not the only stop they say on your ticket and then leave you hanging for a ticket price about double what you paid originally. Bait and switch for sure. Watch these guys they say cheap but they really mean ruin your vacation slime. I would not recommend it to anyone. Oh and wait you have to contact their finance office for a refund. We will see if that happens. Fool me once from what I hear they will try to fool you again with a tocket voucher. So they can do the same scam again. read more

After 2 hours I'm still waiting for a bus. It was supposed to arrive at 550 then 725 it's now 810 and the bus has FINALLY arrived. I've called customer service twice already. They aren't willing to compensate or anything more than a sorry. This is completely ridiculous and the main reason I HATE using FlixBus. I would not recommend this bus to anyone for any reason. I was hoping since the chaotic bus scheduling and last minute cancellations of the (WITHOUT notice) maybe just maybe they'd have it together by now. But no they can't even take care of their fleet. NEVER again. I have 40$ in credits for all the issues in December and January that they refuse to give to me in anything other than their own service. I can't stand this. read more

Should have done mY research before booking this bus. Saw 4.4 stars when I first Google it and went with it. The Delay was bad and the address given on the ticket is incorrect. We had to spot for the parking with a lot of flix buses. Delayed over two hours read more

My family used FlixBus traveling from Amsterdam to Frankfurt, and the bus was extremely overheated- people were passing out, wringing their shirts of sweat, etc. FlixBus refused to do anything about the broken AC - in the heatwave - and departed, but soon we had to have the bus pull over because people were suffering too much from the heat. They sent a replacement bus 2hrs later despite telling everyone this was impossible. No refunds because the DEPARTURE was on time. Ridiculous. read more

I took a trip from DC to Richmond. My bus was over an hour late with absolutely no communication about it. 30 minutes into the trip we stop at a gas station for over 20 minutes with again, absolutely no explanation or communication. Absolutely not worth the cheap ticket and I will not be using this company ever again. trust me, it's worth it to spend money for a train or ANY other bus company. read more

DO NOT BOOK A ROUTE WITH TRANSFERS!!! My Flixbus trip went from Phoenix to L.A., where a connecting bus was supposed to take me up to San Jose. As we pull into the downtown LA bus depot, the bus driver casually mentions that the SJ connecting bus is cancelled. Great, now I'm stuck in L.A. on a saturday night paying $300 for a hotel room that Flixbus said they would comp (I was never comped). If you want to try them out, I get it - wifi and cheap fares is enticing. So here's my really expensive tip: only use Flixbus for direct routes (no transfers) and always leave early enough in the day to allow for a backup plan if the bus is cancelled (Greyhound / Amtrak). read more

I have never had a problem with FlixBus, but today I found something extremely alarming. When I sat down to my seat, I found a dead, squashed mouse that was stuck in between the 2 seat cushions. That's just disgusting. I would advocate doing a more extensive job when cleaning your busses, because this shouldn't be acceptable... read more

worst consumer service I've ever experienced. I booked a trip from NY to Boston. two hours later they canceled the trip for no reason. I asked for a refund of the amount and they only refunded the value of the ticket, with no fees applied. Unfair because I was not the one who canceled, in addition to the service being very bad, the person who spoke to me first guaranteed me 100% of the refund and then simply said that they would not refund. This company is a joke. read more

They abandoned my girlfriend in another country after she stated she was going to the bathroom. They left without her. When I called there was no apology or anything just started spouting like muppets what the policy was. You left an entire person behind you knot heads and talk about it like it's all our fault so you avoid personal responsibility and refunds. You all suck. I'd rather talk to chatbots than your rude customer service reps. Can't even apologize and offer some kind of consolation. Just gave me the ole eff off. read more

Just be aware on some route even though you reserved seats in advanced and it shows your seats numbers on your ticket Once you get on the bus they tell you that is no reservations seats on that bus. And there is nothing we can do about it . So if you travel with kids just be aware. If I know reserved seats doesn't really mean Reserved I had chosen different bus so my kids can stay by my side. read more

They left me stranded in niagara falls then on chat the agent told me I was lying. My bus was scheduled for 12:55 I arrived at my drop off at 1230. I messaged the online chat to make sure I was at the right place. They sent me coordinates and picture of the stop ot was the same as my drop-off. 12:55 came and went I continued to message live chat who said the buss was delayed 1 hoir and half later the bus arrived the driver who was the same driver who dropped me off told me I havebto wait for a different bus he is not going to Toronto he is only going to niagara... I thought it was odd however he wouldn't let me on. I messages live chat for an update and they told me I missed my bus??? I told her what happened and outright told me the bus driver has no reason to lie! I had been waiting in the sun now for 2 and half hours... she told me I have to purchase another ticket. ...I had to take an uber for 200$ because I was afraid to be stranded my phonenqas almost dead...DO NOT ride. Worse experience I have ever had. A 3rd world country is more caring for their passengers read more

I scheduled my bus tickets many weeks in advance. I arrived at the bus station 15 minutes in advance, as they advised. I waiting for hours and no bus. I called many times but customer service would hang up on me. Finally got through and they said I missed the bus and that it left on time. I said that was impossible because they confirmed I was at the correct location and I certainly did not miss the bus, and the FlixBus app said it was delayed. The delays kept getting pushed back until the bus itself completely disappeared on the app. read more

currently on the one from Phoenix to Las Vegas. both ways its been a bad ride. first, do NOT pay for the assigned seat, drivers dont care or check its a rip off to pay for them, there was people up and moving seats. Now to the worst part, the BUS!!!! both ways we didnt get on that fancy green flixbus they advertise but instead a run down black volvo bus that rattles aaaaaaaall the way through the ride and is extremely rough on the road!!! the seats are falling apart, there are NO TRAYS!!! couldnt do any way on the 6.5 hour trip first ride because they advertise trays but do not have them. the bathroom is absolutely disgusting!!! theres dried fluids everywhere!! use the bathroom when they stop do not use it on board. theres not even a small faucet to wash your hands. the bus itself is disgusting. the driver is rude and emphasized during a stop/break how he would leave at exactly 10:41am and if you're not on board too bad right... he left at 10:36!!! I was on time but had it been someone else he would had left them! I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!! I totally regret not driving myself and counting on this service. The price does not justify this at all. read more

We had a bus from Bruges to Dusseldorf on 09.06.2023 at 10.30 AM. We arrived the flixbus's meeting point on 10.00 AM and started to wait for the bus. After a while at 10.15 AM a bus arrived with the name on it"couch partners". We could not find any sign on it as it is a flixbus bus. So waited umtil 10.28 AM and we asked to the bus's driver as if this is the bus for dusseldorf or not. The driver yelled us as where are you, you are waiting there for a while are you stupid etc. We said to him we are waiting for the bus at 10.30 AM and showed our tickets to him yo check. He checked our tickets and said "this is not your bus, you have to wait here for the other bus." So we have waited a while and after 10.30 AM the bus leaved the terminal and there were no bus. So we checked on flixbus's website on real time info and saw the bus were leaving the bruges. We are requesting a full refund for the driver not let us in the bus and informed us wrongly about it. read more

I bought bus tickets in April to travel from Copenhagen to Billund Legoland Denmark for 13 people. They just informed me that they had to chance my bus schedule so now we leave Legoland before we even arrive: "Vi kan af driftsmæssige årsager desværre ikke længere tilbyde dig den rejse, du har booket #1033785341. Det beklager vi dybt. For at du kan nå dit rejsemål, har vi ombooket dig til en alternativ rejse #1043561736. And then they sent me a voucher for what?? So I can do what?? Please reimburse my $406.31 or get me back my scheduled upcoming trip for July 17-18, 2019. And by the way there is no "customer service" read more

I have taken a Flixbus from Milan to Austria and another one from a small little town in France to Paris (3 hour drive). The bus was brand new, ample of space with refreshments to buy onboard. With the bus itself I am very impressed. I would have given 5 stars. Felt like first class. The bus driver to Austria was nice enough, struggled a bit with his English but tried at least. (English is my second language also). However the bus driver in France could not...or rather refused to speak English to me. In fact, when I kindly asked him a question he rudely asked me to repeat it in French. After I told him unfortunately I can't speak French, he treated me with disgust and mumbled things in French when he looked at me. He refused to scan my ticket, helping the men behind me, making me wait in the cold, till last, even though I was one of the first in line. He deliberately went out of his way to show me, because I speak English ( unknowing to him not even my mother tongue), I am not welcome on this bus. He also knew I'm a pregnant woman. ( I reported this bus driver however Flixbus send me no apologies, only an email with a voucher attach for a free bus drive....that expired that same day I was actually traveling) I would suggest if you can not speak French to rather not make use of their services in France.... read more

Cancelled my trip without notification. Stranded in Vegas on a Friday morning in June heat not a pleasant experience. No communication from Flixbus in relation to the cancellation and no alternative plans to accommodate stranded passengers. Will be avoiding them from now on, prefer to pay the few extra bucks for Greyhound, at least they won't leave you stranded with no notification or explanation. read more

Do not use this company! Plenty of people have told me how FlixBus service never gave them any refund. The same thing happened to me. They gave me the wrong departure place and I was obliged to buy a new ticket, but with no refund. I wrote at least 5 letters of complaints, called, emailed and no concrete answer, just generic messages... Shame. read more

I am writing this review from a train that I had to take instead of a FlixBus because FlixBus messed up our plan severely. Our bus to San Diego was supposed to depart from Downtown LA at 1:40pm. 30 minutes after this time, we tried to find the bus status on the FlixBus app, but the bus's location and status were unavailable. We tried calling customer service just to be sent to a prerecorded German message that repeated itself for 45 minutes. At 2:40pm, a kind driver from another bus called and said that the driver would be there in a half an hour (3:10pm). At 3:50pm, my boyfriend and I gave up on Flixbus and bought expensive last minute tickets for the train. I understand that Flixbus is just starting out in the US (I personally have used Flixbus in Europe many times with no issues), but LA traffic is known to be an issue, and a greater-than 2 hour delay for a bus with no communication from the company is absolutely ridiculous. My boyfriend and I think that it is fair that our bus tickets are refunded, and do not think it is unreasonable to ask FlixBus to award us the value equivalent to the train tickets to our destination that we were forced to buy. I have really enjoyed FlixBus in the past, but as it is now, I am not planning on using FlixBus again until some major improvements to the bus routes and/or customer service are made. read more

Flixbus lost my bag and refuses to pay for its contents. That was due to their irresponsible careless managing of luggage (and passengers) This was 5 months ago. At first I was awfully treated by their employees. Two of them actually told me ït's not my problem". After that was totally ignored no answers, nothing. Then, they made me come up with the receipts of the lost Items. For the receipts I could find (around 50% of what I had), they reduced the values almost by half, even though my stuff was 1year 4months old (they applied a ridiculous 3-year depreciation). Now all they say they will pay (around 1/4 of what they owe me) out of "good-will" I have no words to describe all that Flixbus made me go through, and how much frustration I had to endure so far. PLEASE don't support this company, do not travel with them! One more thing, I just met another person who is going through the exact same thing, it seems to be their operating procedure. read more

Do not travel with Flixbus. We have used Flixbus across Europe cheaply with no real issues, so we booked a trip from San Diego to Tuscon. We arrived 45 minutes before the bus was scheduled to arrive but it never came. We waited there over 2 hours, during which time we called support 5 times. They were unaware of the status of the bus, and promised to call back each time within 10 minutes. None of the reps ever called back. The app didn't have the status or location of the bus either. After messaging the Facebook page, they informed us that the bus never ran! We were never notified or updated on that fact, despite the fact that we called them directly several times. This left us scrambling for last minute travel arrangements. Now we are trying to get a refund, but the refund department says that they cannot confirm that the bus didn't run (conveniently). They can't confirm that it did run either, interesting. Do they even have buses? They don't seem to know. It's just a dysfunctional, disorganized company, at least the US arm is. Phone and email support is extremely unhelpful. Cannot recommend them to anybody at this time. Stay away. read more

Left late, arrived late, made a couple of unannounced stops on the way. The New York departure area is very poorly signed and there's no communication with travellers when they delay buses. Would be very helpful to have a dedicated person on site to communicate changes in schedule and organize the passengers waiting for their buses. Some passengers in front of us tried to ask when the delayed bus would leave - they were polite, but the driver yelled at them, and my partner and I moved away from the bus because it seemed like it might escalate. The bus was clean and the WiFi worked... But in my experience, other bus companies will get you from city to city with less hassle! read more

FlixBus has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. However, in Germany you don't have much of a choice if you want a cheaper travel option. The only good point is the price - if there was any real competition I'd never use them again. read more

My first Flix trip was from London Ontario to Ottawa in May 2023. This is a 8+ hour ride and I chose to use Flix since it advertised reclining seats, extra leg room, wifi and power outlets. The bus that picked up in London (just off the street) had no wifi and the driver said it was a "temporary bus that had no wifi capabilities" and that we would transfer to a different bus in Scarborough. I was also given an assigned seat number however the bus had no seat labels and people sat wherever they wanted. The first bus had sockets but none worked and seat reclining did not work. I was looking forward to the bus in Scarborough being what Flix has advertised. The bus from Scarborough to Ottawa subsequently HAD a wifi network but no sockets at all. The bathroom on the bus was out of toilet paper and was very dirty (even though I hadn't seen anyone use this). Once I got to Ottawa I was debating cancelling my Flix reservation back and going with an alternative carrier however I understand that sometimes busses break down and companies have to send what they can in their place. A few days later my ride home was the exact same situation as the ride there. Other frequent riders indicated this route is always like this. All in all , an 18+ hour bus ride that was the complete opposite that is advertised on the Flix website. read more

I will share my opinion about this "wonderfull company"! I used the services of Flixbus when driving from Prague to Krakow. The trip was generally normal. But at the Katowice station, I got off the bus (to warm up). I came to the timetable where the bus was parked. And saw that it must leave a station at 6:30 p.m. It was 6:10 p.m. Time plays an important role here. I realized that I have time to go to the store at the train station. And when I got from there at 6:15 p.m., I saw that the bus was already gone! The driver does not matter about schedule and what you need to check the passengers! And left me in a strange city, without things or documents! But that's okay, because this story has 3 stages! I even drew a separate conclusion at the end, for those who don't want to read it all. Stage two. When I got to Krakow, I went to the company's office and told myself what had happened. The manager listened to me (by the way, it's the only sane person in this story). He said the driver was at the bus station but already leaved. He called the driver and told them about the incident. And he said in response that it is terrible and that we will surely solve this problem. No!!! It was sarcasm. He laughed and said I'll be in two days. Besides, Krakow for me is also a city in which I have nothing and also no acquaintances! Level three. I wrought a letter to support. They didn't care either. And my letter went unanswered for almost 2 days. Later, I also wrote to the company's manager in a live chat. He checked and replied that my application and the truth were received and of course we will answer it as soon as possible. I must say that more than a week has passed and "as soon as possible" has not come !! I. E. to my application so far and has not responded. I also had to stay another day because the second manager in the office refused to call the colleague and check the information when I returned. He made me wait another day. And it turned out he was wrong. When I wrote to the company for the second time, I promised the manager that if my application is not answered in 2 days, I will write on all platforms where I can find Flixbus company. But that didn't embarrass him either. And my parents taught me that promises must be kept. Fortunately for the company, I only know 4 languages and I don't have a lot of time. But a promise is a promise. Result: I lost 3 days with no things and no documents in a strange city, the driver even made fun of this fact, the company's managers are not interested in such cases (attention, there was an adequate manager in the story). read more

Deceitful company - Avoid Review of FlixBus Pending review Google Translation I bought a ticket which on their timetable looked like an overnight trip to my destination. Directly after I booked, it was clear that this was a 2-day trip. The 2 dates travel weren't stated anywhere before that. (Deceitful) I immediately called customer service to regret my buy and to get my money back, all within 1 minute of booking the trip. As you can imagine, it was not possible to regret your buy and get my money back. If you cancel through their app, you get bus credit and a real refund is not possible after you do this! (extremely shady) Luckily I contacted customer service and they told me I had to go through the "refund process" where they require the following information ( quite ridiculous) - As verification, the following documents suffice: Written confirmation of employer that you were not able to use the ticket for professional reasons Receipts (e.g. plane ticket, hotel invoice) that show that you were not at the bus stop at the time of departure Declaration on oath that you did not use the ticket Declaration on oath of a third party that you did not use the ticket Evidence of any kind showing that you did not use the bus ticket I couldn't do any of this on-site, as I wanted to cancel and get my money back right away. Why is evidence necessary, there is a reason they scan tickets when you get on board right? What is the reason for it otherwise? They just complicate everything purposefully to make you either quit the refund process or make you take their bus credit. BOYCOTT! read more

I had to travel from San Diego to Las Vegas this holiday season. I researched my options and chose to take a flixbus on a Friday afternoon, 3:10pm departure. For two reasons: 1- it's the cheapest option out there. 2- They offered a 'direct route' After reading all the reviews from other customers, I had my doubts. I even made backup plans in case the bus didn't show up at all, which I had read in another review. Friday afternoon rolled around and I was rushing to get to the departure site, Mission Valley. Traffic was crazy and I thought no way is a large bus going to make it here on time. Guess what? The bus rolled up nearly on time and the trip was surprisingly really smooth. It was suppose to be a 'direct route', but no flixbus is ever going 6+ hours without stopping. We stopped twice and both stops were very quick. The third stop was 15 minutes in length before we made the long haul to Las Vegas. The bus was scheduled to arrive at Caesar's Palace at 9:25pm and it arrived at 10:15pm. I was really pleased. It's a difficult time of the day and their are a lot of cars. The bus driver did a great job all the way around. read more

DO NOT USE FLIX BUS...EVER!!! The cheap prices are not worth this experience... If 0 stars was an option, that would be my rating. Booked a ticket from LA to Las Vegas and the bus was 4 hours late! 4 WHOLE HOURS!!! After calling customer service several times, all they could tell me was, "it must be stuck in traffic." Impossible. After waiting about 3 hours, customer service literally had no answers for anyone. I was told several times, "the bus is on the highway but we don't know where it is and can't provide an estimated arrival time. When the bus finally arrived, we were asked to MANUALLY WRITE OUR NAMES IN A NOTEBOOK?! They didn't even bother to look at our tickets - anyone could have boarded the bus! On top of that, it wasn't a Flix Bus...Just a regular bus...No Wi-Fi, and no power outlets, which everyone needed after waiting hours and wasting our phone batteries calling customer service and checking the app for updates. When we got on the bus, other passengers who were already seated from a previous stop were shaking their heads. They were only just picked up. They waited 3 hours. 3 HOURS! So where was the traffic between stops I was told about?! They even said that the driver was driving around before finding us and they literally had to use their Google maps app to help the driver AND help him back up after almost getting into an accident! After hearing that, I wanted to reach for a seat belt just to be safe, but of course, there weren't any! Puntuality, honesty and safety clearly aren't important to Flix Bus! DO NOT LET THE CHEAP PRICES FOOL YOU!!! Avoid the headache and book with a more trustworthy company!! read more

I used Flixbus three times, once in Italy, and it was a good experience overall, and twice between the Czech Republic and Germany. In both cases here they were delayed more than 2 hours, while other carriers were running regularly. The reason why I will never choose Flixbus again, though, is that they often show that your payment is refused, when they actually charge you. I payed for my tickets twice thanks to this game. Their customer support is non existent - their lines would ring forever, and complaints sent through their online form don't even receive a confirm of reception. read more

FlixBus: Not even a bad company. They took my money and provided no service. It supposed to be a trip from San Francisco to LA on July 24 at 5:40PM, but the bus never showed up. No ride and no refund! Their customer service is totally useless. They don't even create a ticket to track your case. Every time you call them you need to explain your case from the beginning. It is outrageous! read more

Took a trip from Wiesbaden to Munich, and the return trip, as well. It was late both times. Wiesbaden is not the starting point of the route, and the bus was at least 30min late. By the time I got to Munich, which is the end point, it was very late. On the return trip, bus left Munich on time, but somehow, we ended up being late to Wiesbaden. Someone really needs to correct the scheduling. I had no issues with the drivers. No issues with the bus, generally. Paper towels were gone somewhere between midway to the end of the trip. There were still rolls of toilet paper, but since they sit on the counter, end up getting wet during the ride. Wifi signal was weak when I sat near the back, but it could have been a coincidence. The price was very good, but because the schedule cannot be relied upon, next time, I will take the ICE or the S-Bahn. I suppose it depends on the situation, but I ended up losing an evening in Munich because of the late arrival. Flixbus: for those who don't care about time. read more

Their prices are good so I pre-booked a trip from the airport to my home town. Unfortunately, my flight was very, very delayed and instead of arriving in the morning, I ended up being scheduled to arrive early evening. When I called FlixBus to rebook the time (same destination), I was told they charge a $60 cancelation fee and that I would have to buy a new ticket... So in essence, if I wanted to travel with FlixBus, I would have to buy two complete tickets... No wonder they can keep their prices down... 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
