Advantages
Very good valueShort journey timeClean toiletsFree wifiAccessibilityDisadvantages
Somewhat abrupt driving styleThe journey from Budapest to Vienna with FlixBus was good overall. The bus was on time, clean and the facilities with wifi and power sockets were handy. The journey took 2 hours and 55 minutes, which was fine. The only negative point was the somewhat abrupt driving style of the driver, which sometimes made the journey less relaxing. Otherwise, the value for money was great and I would definitely use FlixBus again for this route."
Advantages
Nice bus driverAir-conditionedPlenty of spaceGood musicPünkltichThe return journey from Budapest to Vienna was very pleasant and in my opinion much better than by train. The bus driver was very nice and entertained the passengers with funny jokes. The bus was air-conditioned and you could set the temperature yourself. There was good music playing during the journey and there was plenty of room to sit down. The journey takes around 3 hours.
Advantages
Fast, pleasant rideDisadvantages
Nothing negativeMy bus journey from Budapest to Vienna was surprisingly pleasant. I booked a ticket via the app, which was super easy, and the price was really cheap. The bus arrived on time and the driver was friendly, even greeting us personally as we boarded. My seat was comfortable, with enough legroom, which I really appreciate for my height. It was quiet during the journey, the air conditioning was discreet and pleasant. The cleanliness in the bus was good, even the toilet was cleaner than expected. There were no snacks on board, but I had picked up something beforehand. The scenery on the route was beautiful and made the journey entertaining. Overall, I was very satisfied and would travel the route by coach again at any time.
