A superb bus line!…read more I have ridden Flixbus 3 complete times, and as I write this I am on ride number 4. Price is excellent, even long haul trips will. It will not set you back very much at all. Of course, booking last minute is more expensive, but not severely at all - not like airlines love to do. Fleet is modern, with double decker buses running on several routes. Buses are clean, have WiFi that is actually fast enough to get some work done (and not slower than dial-up as some bus WiFi tends to be). What really surprised me though is the toilet on board. In other coach bus rides, toilets were a what goes in stays in kind of deal, and that's it. Here, you have a sink with running (but non-potable) water, soap, and the toilet "flushes" like know trains or planes. No breaks during my journeys, but there is some food sold on board. Nothing exciting at all, but enough to hold you down while you ride long haul. Buses are clean! Drivers are professional. I have one small gripe and suggestion. Gripe is that there is not better signage in some places as to where the actual stop is. It's there, just a little tough to find at times. My suggestion is to do like Megabus does on some routes, and allow people the option to reserve their seats. That way the people that really want the seat up front on the top level will be able to get it for a little extra money.

This review is actually more for the flixbus company in general. So in Budapest there is a central…read moretrain station and a bus station right next to each other. Sometimes other companies also have their busses take off around there but not in that particular bus station area. I had bought tickets to such a situation. The budapest flixbus station had a sign that they will not direct you to the other bus station. This makes absolute no business sense whatsoever. First of all the people asking for this bus already have tickets so flixbus is not losing out on any business. But imagine that you are under a time crunch to find your bus, and this person on the other side of the window knows exactly how to help you...but won't... Flixbus is creating a situation where potential customers will actively avoid the company that directly screwed them in a previous situation. So good job Flixbus, noncostumer for life. Also my parents call you the unfriendly bus company so there's that too.

European train stations are so nice. This one has 3 floors of restaurants, shops and even an IKEA…read more. Didn't have enough time to see the IKEA but I saw the elevator stop. It's a large railway station with multiple platforms on different floors. It's spacious and very clean. Signage is so very clear and also in English. Besides the shops and the cafes, there is something so touching and always worth noting. There's a statue memorializing the Kindertransport. The statue is of a young boy sitting on a suitcase. This was the train station in 1938 that took over 10,000 young children from Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia, separating them from their parents, and transporting them to England so they wouldn't face Nazi Persecution. It's a poignant statue and the trauma these children faced should never be forgotten

The exterior at ground level is ordinary but the station itself is clean, well-marked and easy to use. There are a few services and retail opportunities below ground before descending to the tracks. There are machines for ticket purchase that are easy to find. The tracks are deep underground so it is a long way up if you want to climb the steps.

Today I came across the bus service provided by region eat and took it, mostly because it was the next in terms of scheduled departure time. And what a great surprise!!! Great new bus with on board entertainment (movies, tv, music) as well as free hot beverages served by friendly staff (speaking English). Free wifi also available for free!

The new-generation vehicles affectionately termed "ElectriCitybusse" are part of Vienna's initiative to be a model region for e-mobility. The first inner-city bus line will rely entirely on electric buses by the start of 2013; for both lines, the switch will take until summer 2013. I can only say WELL DONE as the buses are just wonderful, and very pleasent to travel on.

Don't use a taxi or Uber! It'd be much more expensive, and may, in fact, take a lot more time. For 11 Euros you can go to or from the airport, with regular departures throughout the day. Definitely the way to go!

I was a bit dubious about this tour company given the reviews, but we did the hop on hop off tour…read morearound the city and had a great time. We initially got on at a stop without tickets but the bus driver just let us on, gave us headphones, and told us to pay whenever someone selling tickets got on the bus (which happened about 6 stops later). Unfortunately the upstairs was very hard to access if you're on crutches (especially if the bus is moving), and the "guided tour" is a location-based audio tour. We were stuck in traffic for a really long time between stops so we got a lot of Strauss piped to us while we waited but no information. Not the company's fault though. The other thing was that the upstairs windows don't open so they fogged up a lot with the Vienna winter air so in order to see anything at night we had to constantly wipe the condensation off. When we arrived at the opera house we also asked the guide there about the night tour, and he offered us a free ride on it which was super cool!

**Salzburg Day Trip**…read more Of the 13 hours of the trip, 10 were on the bus. While technically a day trip from Vienna, I would recommend doing the trip to Salzburg on your own if you're adventurous. Salzburg is pretty compact, with most of the sights in the old partod the town. During this time of year, the town is decked out for the holiday and the Christmas market is fantastic! There were two parts of the tour: the part on the bus and the part with a local guide. Our guide on the bus led the Spanish speaking tourists while we English speaking ones had a local guide (Hans), who was awaiting us at Salzburg. While I understand Hans was probably trying to maximize our free time, I felt the tour was a bit rushed. I also felt like he was okay with losing half the group over the course of the tour. We started out with 19 and ended with 9 in the group. I wasn't sure if the others left and did their own thing or were lost. We started at the Mirabell Palace and ended in old town. At the end, we had about two hours. This was enough time to have a snack and tour the Christmas market. There wasn't enough time to go see the fortress or the Mozart museum. This tour was a good one if you need a way to get out to Salzburg and don't want to deal with the travel logistics. Next time, we will take the train and do our own thing. Not sure if this tour was worth $300 (for two people).
