Disadvantages
IconBus was full
Booked a seat in advance, which worked out well. Uncomplicated booking with bus tickets at affordable prices. I sometimes find it worrying when my suitcase is left unattended at the bottom of the hold, but so far I've always got it back. No delays. Arrived on time. Unfortunately the bus was full. I had the feeling that the bus driver hardly spoke any German, but was friendly and did his job well. The journey was fine.

Apart from the usual very comfortable seats, almost everything went wrong on this journey. Even though the journey from Berlin to Lübeck was completed in "only" 4 hours, the journey took a really long time. Firstly, there was the really overworked and stressed bus driver, who understandably had no energy left for jokes or funny remarks. This situation was the result of a really busy motorway and a really busy bus with a high passenger density. So during this journey, the situation on the road and inside the bus was really stressed and tense.
