The bus trip was really great I got it for a great price and the journey time was quite short which made the trip very enjoyable. The bus driver and the passengers were also very nice and that's why the bus trip deserves 5 stars.
Disadvantages
IconNot good value
IconDelay
IconUncomfortable
IconPoor air conditioning
The Flixbus journey from Vienna to Budapest was unfortunately a big disappointment. Although the journey time was given as 2 hours and 50 minutes, we arrived significantly late, with no explanation for the delay. The bus itself was not particularly comfortable - the seats were cramped, there was hardly any legroom, and the air conditioning did not work properly, which made the whole journey uncomfortable. Overall, the journey was unpunctual and uncomfortable, so I definitely cannot recommend this service.

The coach journey from Vienna to Budapest was really a very pleasant experience. You have plenty of legroom and can therefore relax very well. There is also no constant noise level like on a train. You also don't have to change buses but travel in one.

My coach journey from Vienna to Budapest was positive. The booking went smoothly and the prices were favourable. The bus departed on time and the journey time was as planned. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space, even for longer legs. The air conditioning ensured pleasant temperatures during the journey. The bus was clean, including the toilet, which was functional but basic. The driver was courteous and steered safely through the route. Catering was not provided, but this is manageable for a journey of around three hours. Overall, it was a quick, comfortable and inexpensive way to travel from Vienna to Budapest.
