UtilisationTransportFreedom of movementThe bus journey with Flixbus from Hamburg to Copenhagen in Denmark was unfortunately not a positive experience. Even though the equipment of the bus and the bus driver made a really positive impression as always, there were a few complications this time. Firstly, we were stuck at the German-Danish border for some time, which led to long delays in the journey time, which was already approaching 8 hours. In addition, the bus was quite full, which didn't have a more positive effect on the situation.

wifiOn this day we travelled from Hamburg ZOB to Copenhagen. The journey was very pleasant and the specified time was kept to without incident. I used the power sockets during the journey and they worked really well. Unfortunately, the wifi was not optimal, this could also be due to the crossing of national borders.
In addition, the seats were in wonderful condition, which rounded off the experience well.
