Advantages
Great pricesStress free journeyGood serviceDisadvantages
See no weaknessesMy journey by bus was great and stress-free. The booking was done online very quickly and the bus ticket arrived immediately in PDF format via email, which is then digitally valid and must be shown at the start of the journey. The journey was relaxed and there were no noisy passengers and little foot traffic. I always sit in the seats away from the toilets so that I am not disturbed by this and can then enjoy the journey. The bus runs on schedule and even arrived at the destination a few minutes earlier. Really a great trip and overall fabulous value for money. The trip lives up to its promise and is therefore highly recommended.
Advantages
ReliableCleanOn timeDisadvantages
Slow on the roadI was able to sit comfortably in ME82032 from Bremen to Hamburg.
There was even a power socket at my seat. There is no wifi on the Metronom, but the mobile data network is reliable on the route. The train was on time and clean. Alcohol is prohibited on the route and there is no on-board bistro on the Metronom either. In between, however, there were vendors with warm drinks like coffee and tea running through the carriages.
Advantages
PricespeedEquipmentDisadvantages
Traffic volumeUtilisationNoise pollution on the busEven though the FlixBus route from Bremen to Hamburg is technically an excellent alternative to the train, as both the price of the tickets and the individual features of the FlixBus are impressive, my journey unfortunately didn't go entirely smoothly. On the one hand, there were slight delays due to traffic jams, which in itself is not a problem. However, there was also a high passenger density and individual passengers who didn't quite have their volume under control. These points made the journey more unpleasant than enjoyable.
Advantages
Free wifiGood priceAir conditioningDisadvantages
Slightly slow-moving trafficThe journey from Bremen to Hamburg was really convincing. Flixbus scored first and foremost with a good price. But the equipment was also very good. Working wifi, free wifi and the seat cushions were also very comfortable. The traffic was a little slow from time to time, but that's only a minor drawback. It was worth it.
Advantages

TransportThe Bremen Hamburg route with FlixBus is a great alternative to the train. You can arrive in Hamburg in just one and a half hours and at an extremely fair price. The facilities on the bus are great as usual, the free wifi works throughout the journey and the adjustable and extremely comfortable seats make the journey enjoyable.

ComfortI had to go to Hamburg for work, which is why I booked this trip. The journey flew by. The journey time was as stated and we arrived at Hamburg ZOB very quickly.
The hygiene in the toilets was particularly nice, you would wish for these standards in every bus. My seat was reserved, so everything was fine here too.
All in all, a great journey.
