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
PriceEquipmentPassenger densityDisadvantages
Potential traffic jamJourney timeThe Flixbus journey from Hamburg to Bremerhaven was really impressive in terms of equipment, travelling comfort and ticket price. In addition, there was a really low passenger density on the bus, which made the bus journey a wonderfully quiet and private trip. The only negative point was the route, which took us via Hanover, resulting in a journey time of almost 4 hours. In this respect I think travelling by train is superior, but in other areas the Flixbus is unbeatable.
