Advantages

DelayThe journey with FlixBus went as smoothly as possible. The only thing was that the bus was a few minutes late at the beginning, but that wasn't too bad. The staff were friendly and helped with loading the luggage. There were also power sockets on the bus and wifi access. There were no toilets on the bus. Instead, breaks were taken during the journey. Since the price was also very reasonable, I will certainly travel with FlixBus again.
Advantages
The ride is cheapThe journey is stress-freeThe bus leaves on timeDisadvantages
Weak internet on the busI like to take the bus and this trip was also great. Booking on the online portal was easy and quick. You can also always find good prices, of course best if you book in advance. The ticket is sent by email and it is sufficient to show it digitally before starting the journey. All very practical and really stress-free. Everything went according to plan and the bus arrived at Munich ZOB on time. The internet on the bus is not always very strong, but for the price-performance ratio I think it is tolerable.
Advantages
Good priceNo delayFriendly staffDisadvantages
Weak internet connectionOn my bus journey from Berlin to Munich there were no delays and we arrived on time. The bus was very clean and the seats offer enough space. As I didn't have a seat neighbour, I was able to spread out comfortably and used the journey for a little relaxation. The internet connection was a little weak in places. The staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere on the bus was very pleasant. No noise or stressful passengers. All around a great ride.
Advantages
wifiComfortDisadvantages
VolumeCateringI used Flixbus for the journey from Berlin to Munich because the price in particular was very attractive. Booking via the Flixbus website was straightforward and easy. The bus itself was modern, comfortable and well-maintained, the seats were comfortable and there was plenty of legroom, which was particularly important for me on such a long journey.
Unfortunately, the bus was a bit noisy overall and the catering was not ideal.
