HygieneI travelled from Berlin to Bamberg with Flixbus and was really satisfied overall. I particularly liked the favourable price, which made the journey very attractive. The staff were also friendly and helpful, which immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. The bus arrived on time, which is not always a given on long journeys. The wifi connection worked well, so I was able to listen to music and write messages while travelling. One small drawback was the hygiene in the toilet, which unfortunately wasn't completely clean. Nevertheless, I would travel with Flixbus again at any time.
