ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Prague to Budapest
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
Extremely favourableDisadvantages
Terrible driving skillsUncomfortableExtremely long journeyUnpunctualUnfortunately, the journey from Prague to Budapest was disappointing. The driver was not good at driving, there was a lot of abrupt braking and accelerating, which made the journey unpleasant. The journey took much longer than planned and we arrived significantly late. The only thing that was okay was the favourable price, but that alone is not enough to make up for the negative experience. I will think twice about travelling this route with FlixBus again."
