Advantages
ClimatePriceDisadvantages
WIFIThe FlixBus journey from Lisbon to Madrid was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the low price and punctual arrival should be emphasised. The staff were friendly and helped with boarding. However, the wifi left a lot to be desired almost throughout and the WC was not cleaned during the long journey, which became unpleasant over time. Comfort and hygiene could be significantly improved. It was not necessary to change trains and the journey took about 9 hours.
