Advantages
SocketsFriendly driversNot many unnecessary stopsDisadvantages
Duration of the journeyFrequent lack of air conditioningWindows often open in winterThere is no wifi on the bus, the sockets worked but there weren't many available. The comfort was okay, but I would take the train on this route. However, if you want to go further than Hamburg Hbf, I would choose the train. Very good value for money.
