Somewhat abrupt driving styleThe journey from Budapest to Vienna with FlixBus was good overall. The bus was on time, clean and the facilities with wifi and power sockets were handy. The journey took 2 hours and 55 minutes, which was fine. The only negative point was the somewhat abrupt driving style of the driver, which sometimes made the journey less relaxing.

The bus arrived on time and the driver was friendly, even greeting us personally as we boarded. My seat was comfortable, with enough legroom, which I really appreciate for my height. It was quiet during the journey, the air conditioning was discreet and pleasant. The cleanliness in the bus was good, even the toilet was cleaner than expected.
