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.
