Advantages
Speed from the gridDisadvantages
Service friendlinessThe bus journey from Girona to Barcelona offered very comfortable seats and fast wifi, but the service was unfriendly. The cleanliness was acceptable, unfortunately the journey time was a little longer than expected. The price-performance ratio was fair. Nevertheless, a recommendable option, especially for spontaneous trips.
Advantages
wifiSpace freely selectableAir-conditionedDisadvantages
Noisy passengersBus driver seemed rather demotivatedWifi sometimes went outFor my journey from Girona to Barcelona, I took the bus and, as always, I had booked my ticket online. I took a seat by the window, but a seat reservation was not necessary as the seats were freely selectable. The bus departed at 9.30am and the journey took about an hour and 45 minutes. The seat was comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. During the journey, I was able to enjoy the scenery as we travelled along the coast.
Advantages
Friendly driverPleasant journeyGood air conditioningDisadvantages
Wifi not functionalIn July 2018, I took the bus from Girona to Barcelona and the journey was pleasant throughout. The bus was on time, the seats were comfortable and the air conditioning was refreshing in the summer heat. The driver was friendly and the views of the countryside were beautiful. However, the wifi was not functional, which was a little disappointing. Overall, a reliable and inexpensive means of transport.
Advantages
Well air-conditionedGreat priceComfortableDisadvantages
A little cramped in the busWifi unstableThe journey from Girona to Barcelona was pleasant overall, even if there were a few minor challenges. The bus was on time and well air-conditioned, which was particularly pleasant on hot days. The seats were comfortable but a little more cramped than expected. The service on board was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the wifi was not reliable, which can be annoying on longer journeys. However, the view during the journey was very nice and the price was definitely fair for the service provided.
Advantages
Fast and affordablePunctualComfortableDisadvantages
Air conditioning system set too highThe bus journey from Girona to Barcelona was generally pleasant and practical. The route leads through scenic surroundings and the journey time of under two hours is ideal for travellers who want to commute quickly and cheaply between the two cities. The bus was on time and comfortable, although the air conditioning was a little on the cool side. The departure and arrival points were centrally located, which made the onward journey easier. Recommended, especially for travellers on a budget.
Advantages
Beautiful viewDisadvantages
NoneI took the Flixbus again for the route from Girona to Barcelona and was satisfied overall. It was easy to buy the tickets and the bus was also on time. The journey was very quiet and pleasant and you could relax. The wifi did not work reliably, but was sufficient for small things. There was no catering either. The bus was clean and the journey took almost 6 hours, but the value for money was good.
Advantages
Comfortable seatsCleanliness in the busPrice-performance ratioDisadvantages
Delay on arrivalThe Flixbus journey from Girona to Barcelona was pleasant overall. The seats were comfortable and the bus was clean. The price-performance ratio was also good, especially for the short journey. Unfortunately, punctuality was a slight problem as the bus arrived slightly late. For a cheap and comfortable travel option, Flixbus is still a solid choice. I can definitely recommend it.
Advantages
Clean and well maintainedShort distanceDisadvantages
Unstable wifi connectionThe journey with Flixbus from Girona to Barcelona was a good experience overall. The buses were clean and well-maintained and the journey of around 1.5 hours went by quickly. The comfort of the seats was fine for a short journey. One drawback, however, was the unstable wifi reception, which was hardly usable. Price-wise, the ride is unbeatable and for budget-conscious travellers it is a solid choice as long as there are no high expectations for extras.
Advantages
Good price-performance ratioShort distanceCleanlinessDisadvantages
In my case, a slight delayThe Flixbus journey from Girona to Barcelona offers good value for money. The route is short and the journey time of around 1.5 hours is pleasant. The bus was clean, the service was friendly and the seats were comfortable enough, the only downside was that the bus arrived slightly late, which can affect the timetable somewhat. Overall, however, I found the journey positive and recommend it to others.
Advantages

Frequency of route inspectionsI also found my return journey from Girona to Barcelona very pleasant. Our bus arrived on time and was relatively empty, which made for a very relaxed journey and a relatively low noise level. Like most Spaniards, the bus driver was very open-hearted and friendly and did a good job, and all in all the bus was clean and tidy. The on-board wifi worked perfectly.
Advantages

Toilet was defectiveLegroom was limitedSlight delayI travelled from Girona to Barcelona with Renfe and was generally satisfied. The timetable was reliable and I could easily book the ticket online. The seats were comfortable and there were even power sockets, which was handy for my devices. The volume on the train was pleasant and the air conditioning worked well. The train staff were friendly and helpful, and the entire train, including the toilets, was clean. The journey took about 40 minutes and arrived in Barcelona on time. For the price, I thought the service was perfectly fine and would recommend Renfe for this route.
