ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Munich to Leipzig
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
Cost-effectiveOn timeDisadvantages
UncomfortableLongThe journey went without incident and the bus arrived on time. There were no toilets on board, but there was a 10-minute loo break. The equipment worked as standard (wifi, air conditioning, etc.). The shortcoming is the comfort of the seats, which is non-existent. Longer journeys are simply uncomfortable.
But if you want it to be cheap, this is the right choice.
Advantages
Wifi available on the busBus on timeDisadvantages
No toilets on the busRight at the start, the bus was on time at the station, which was pleasing. There was also wifi access for something to do on the bus.
What I didn't like was that there were no toilets on the FlixBus. Instead, there were breaks during the journey.
The price was very reasonable. That's why I would travel with FlixBus again.
Advantages
The price is favourableWifi availableToilets on the busDisadvantages
The seats become very uncomfortable on long journeysThe bus journey from Munich to Leipzig was fine. I used a FlixBus for this.
I travelled overnight to save some time.
A positive aspect is that there are toilets on board, which is important for longer journeys.
In addition, wifi access was also available, which is practical for accessibility.
Furthermore, I didn't have to change trains on the journey, which was also very pleasant.
However, I have to criticise the quality of the seats. They may be suitable for short journeys, but not for long journeys. It is advisable to take an extra seat cushion with you.
Advantages
CheapSecureDisadvantages
UncomfortableTakes longThe journey was safe and on time. It was a direct journey. The bus had no toilets, but wifi and sockets like standard equipment. I found it extremely positive that the bus arrived on time and the price of the ticket was very cheap. Compared to the train or a rental car, you would have paid a lot more. The journey was very long, especially because the bus stopped again and again. I see the uncomfortable seats as the biggest drawback. The butt simply gets tired from sitting. In addition, you couldn't turn off the air conditioning, so it was very cool all the time. I also strongly recommend reserving a seat.
Advantages
Good priceDisadvantages
DelayedThe price for the ticket for the coach journey to Leipzig was good. I had also booked my seat in advance and this was done without any problems. Unfortunately, there was a delay on departure and therefore a small delay of 10 minutes on our arrival in Leipzig. But otherwise the journey was fine, quiet and not stressful. The bus driver did a good job and my seat was clean and tidy. All in all, everything was ok.
