TransportPunctualityApart from the 20-minute delay when our bus arrived, the journey from Berlin to Rostock with FlixBus went almost without a hitch. The price I paid for my ticket was more than fair and with a journey time of around three hours, this bus service is an excellent alternative to the sparsely developed rail network or travelling by car. As always, the equipment on the bus did not disappoint either and was in great condition as usual.
