ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Munich to Düsseldorf
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
The ticket is cheapBooking is simpleThe journey is stress-freeDisadvantages
Sometimes weak internet on the bus during the journeyI find travelling by bus really commendable as it is easy and stress-free. Already the booking is effortlessly doable online and there is always a good price, especially compared to other means of travel. Sure, it is advisable to book in advance, but I find the prices for a last-minute booking also okay. The ticket is valid digitally and does not need to be printed. During the journey, everything was stress-free and quiet. Hardly any foot traffic and no loud conversations between passengers. After a quiet journey, the bus arrived at the destination on time and I was very satisfied with the whole trip. Highly recommended and to be commended for the great value for money.
Advantages
Punctual arrivalGood climate in the busDisadvantages
Delayed departureThe price of the bus ticket was reasonable and the journey was good. The bus was 10 minutes late for departure, but still arrived on time. The bus driver was friendly and did his job well. The bus was pleasantly tempered and fortunately not too full. The journey was therefore quiet and there were no loud conversations to disturb us. I had booked my seat in advance and it worked out well. Everything was fine, I recommend it.
Advantages
FavourableDisadvantages
Broken backrestUncomfortable seatsToilet uncleanI booked the journey to go to a concert in Düsseldorf. The journey was very long. This was also due to the many stops, which always took about 10 minutes. During the long journey, the seats become increasingly uncomfortable and if the seat backs are broken, it's not comfortable at all. I only used the loo briefly, but it was very dirty. The wifi worked smoothly and the charging sockets also worked. The favourable price was particularly good.
Advantages
Smooth rideUnbeatably good priceSustainableDisadvantages
No restaurant on the busI travelled from Munich to visit friends in Düsseldorf. The journey was relatively relaxed because we drove through without any traffic jams. Unfortunately, the journey is really long. We travelled about 9 hours from Munich ZOB to Düsseldorf ZOB. I had plenty of food and drinks with me and we also took breaks. Looking back, I'm very positive about the journey. The journey was definitely cheap and sustainable.
