Cons

The internet is weak while driving

I booked the bus for a trip from Berlin to Cologne and can highly recommend it. Booking the ticket online is easy and quick. The ticket is digitally valid and no printing is required. The departure was on schedule, there was unfortunately a small delay on the way into Cologne. However, the whole journey was stress-free and actually relaxed as the bus is relatively quiet and comfortable. The internet worked poorly during the journey, but otherwise there were no weaknesses for me. Price-performance ratio is great and always a good trip.

My bus ride from Berlin to Cologne was flawless and very pleasant. The bus left on time and we arrived on time without delay. The bus driver was friendly and the seats were clean and very comfortable. The wifi worked the whole way. The atmosphere on the bus was really relaxed, very calm and all the passengers happy. All in all, a great trip by bus that I can only recommend. And also cheaper than by train. Keep it up.

Pros

Punctual

Good climate

Cons

None

We travelled to Cologne airport by bus and were a little worried about punctuality. But we arrived on time and the journey was stress-free. The bus driver was friendly and he kept the bus at a good temperature. The bus was clean and the air was fresh and my seat was comfortable. I book my seat in advance and this works well. No double booking and this time the seat next to me was also free. Good space during the journey. Everything was fine.
