FlixBus / FlixMobility

I used FlixBus for my journey from Amsterdam to Berlin on the 6th of September and it can only be described as a journey in hell.
Due to FlixBus' lax security, an unidentified person has sneaked into the luggage compartment and has spent the first 3 hours of the journey thrift shopping in the passengers' luggage.
Laptops, cameras, shaving machines, cash, clothes and even chocolates were stolen.
€500 were stolen from my luggage !
I've filed a police report with the German police and I won't rest until I get the reimbursement, which is promised in the terms and conditions of FlixBus. I also have filled the ‘lost & found form' on www.flixbus.com and their reply was a joke.
I highly advise against using FlixBus, with all due respect but a company like that should be shut down.

The efficiency. I have tried to order the InterFlix but I have not got my voucher codes. So, I have tried to send a email to customer service to ask whether they can re-sent the voucher codes but then I have only got some automated bots reply. Then, I tried to call the customer service and they just told me to reply the automated email. But still, I have not got any reply. They are not trying to reply any of my email. I don't even know whether they are trying to figure out my issue and their progress of handling the issue.

I travelled from brussels to denmark and paid for a "prime seat" only to be shunned and rejected by an ignorant driver and found out that seat was allocated to the substitute driver.
If there IS a substitute driver present, why didnt flixbus block out the seat? What did i pay extra for compared to the other passengers? And worst part of all, THE ENTIRE BUS SMELLED LIKE PISS.

I have written in to my credit card company and insurance company for fraudulent transaction. Good luck with the investigation process

Hello, my friends and me is unsatisfied what FlixBus provide to us. As the booking information show us is the departure point is platform 3, while the bus departure at platform 4. (These two platform is long way to walk). We come here waiting for long time, asking many people, even don't have FlixBus customer service provided. Bus driver even never make a call for us, lastly we need to rebook everything and ruin all our trip planning.
It seem that not only us is the victim, I saw many people suffer in same situation, waiting for long time but the bus is not coming. FlixBus apps even didn't show us where the bus is.

Hello,

I would like to make you aware of an uncomfortable situation that I have been involved in!

I booked the journey with your company, expecting a comfortable journey, as most of my friends did advise me to use the service! However, the journey was everything except than comfortable.

1 - it was 10 minutes late which, wasn't a problem as my next connection was an hour later.

2 - Ones I boarded in the bus, there was no space to sit as everyone was just sleeping on two chairs and I made the driver and his colleague aware but there was no interest on my talk, in fact, I had to resolve it myself.

3 - through the journey, I did not feel very well, a little bit dizzy, because of the crazy driving of the driver, which was definitely going over the limit and I checked it, myself through the phone. A road of 70 KM/H, he was going 87 KM/H. When I gently, asked the driver assistant if I could sit in the front just for a bit, his annoyed answer was that he had to use those chairs to put his stuff or to stretch his leg. It sounds as a joke but absolutely not nice towards a customer.

4 - ones we stopped in Mantova, I went down to get some fresh air, I did gently ask him again because I could not stand all of that again, he answer much more annoyed and told me that he won't leave the seats for me that I should resolve my dizziness myself. He had not had a good impression and made me feel much more uncomfortable.

5 - to finish this incredibly awkward and uncomfortable journey, I went to collect my hand luggage left with the checked luggage and it was missing, no track of it! When I went to speak with the driver and his colleague, both were not interested and thought that I was joking and their answer has been that they were in a rush and didn't want to cause more delay ti the journey because of me.

My Nabil is Nabil Madkour and my booking reference is : [protected].

After I reached the first destination where I should have changed bus, I decided to change my transport and get a train instead of stressing out more and continue an awful journey.

Will look forward to your answer.

Hi.

This what happen to me it was on the way from Croatia to Italy, so I am not sure if United Kingdom on my form is correct (I am living here)

14.08.2019 I both tickets online to go from Pula in Croatia to Venice. I took one bus to Slovenia where I should change bus to go directly to Venice. My flight was canceled, so in rush and stress and that time I had to take that risk.

In general was delays on the way. I get sms with info, my next bus is delayed around 20 - 30 minutes, with I was happy because my current bus was delayed too. Unfortunatelly this one bus was dealayed to my stop 1, 5 hour! I am really fine with that, because trafic on the way, but! the driver never, never informed passangers about that! If I will know I could change my booking for the next bus. In this way I lost the ticket price, and I had to anyway buy another one for next bus.
In the same first bus, the driver did not inform passangers about stop (my stop): He should saying every single time name the bus stop when it is. The people traveling they can snooze or do not know where they are. So I did not get out on my stop!

I went to another city in Slovenia, where I get the next coach. Here employee packed my large luggage into the trunk, and the driver whants packed my small hand case (on the dimensions set out in the ticket as hand luggage) to the trunk too. I did not agree as I have on the ticket information, and it was my expensive photographic equipment inside. So he call the police! And this bus was dealyed too! Finally I gave my small case to special small trunk, becasue the police asked me to do that.

At the end I lost my train to Milan, where I had boocked and paid accommodation, and I had to pay again! for accommodation in Venice. And the driver (they changed on the way I think) has a problem to open small trunk to give me back my photographic equipment. I had to WAIT till new passangers will get into the bus.

I am sorry but this is unacceptable service. The company working like this should be shut.

Delay, rude staff, no gate and unclear place to waiting.
If you wanna ruined your journey, so use flixbus.
Delay and rude behaviour staff are natural in flixbus.
There is no gate in flixbus service. It is means, you do not know where you should wating for your bus. You should searching whole the bus station and eventually find the bus number, if you can? Mostly bus have delay and you should do it, more than 10 times.
I booked frankfurt to london, I missed it because the bus had not any sign and number.

Hello,

I had bought two tickets from Brussels to Amsterdam on 2019-09-07 at 9 AM. First the bus was delayed for an hour. After two hours it didn't arrive. We were told to wait for next bus and if there are any free seats, we could get on it. All previous buses were fully booked, so usually they just say sorry, you have to wait for the next bus. All the Flixbus empoyees on premises were very rude and wasn't prepared for this kind of situation.
In the end we had to come up with the solution, which was to rebook as on a next bus, that still had free seats. So after three hours we are finally on a way to Amsterdam.
Please let me know what kind of refund we are entitled to and how we could submit the refund request.

Regards,
Justas

The less said about Flix bus the better.
The 8:30 service from Vienna Ersberg bus station to Prague and Berlin is delayed and there's no hope of seeing anytime soon. The 8:30 AM departure became 9:30, then 10:30 and then 11:15, but there is no bus in sight. No one to ask, no phone number, nothing. Stuck in the ridiculous bus station under a highway with no place to sit. Due to the delay our plans for the delay went awry and tickets bought are wasted. Had to spend $50 to buy food for lunch.
All are advised not to use buses in Europe unless it is absolutely necessary.

Me and my friends had an flex bus ride from Porto to Lisbon. At the first stop we were removed from our place because other people had to sit there. There was a discussion but the driver didn't spoke English ... so I had to move for the Portuguese people. I had to wait for a place left in the bus after everybody get in the bus again. My friends and I couldn't sit together anymore. We were badly... I'll never take it again.

I rode the bus from Tucson Arizona to Laughlin Nevada. Waiting for the bus in Tucson a flixbus stops lets people off. Doesn't say anything then leaves. A bit confused as the gps tracking never works. Pretty soon another bus comes by no sign or anything and not a flixbus Arrow I believe. No problem and get on our way. Stopped by in Phoenix and the party has started the bus is full and loud. Okay I know this is stopping in Las Vegas. Party time. The return is where this gets ugly. Get there early enough waiting at the correct gas station where we got dropped off. Again can't track the bus. Waited and waited then nothing. Called customer support stated they couldn't help me and they couldn't even track the bus. Ended up having to pay for another bus that left at 5 am and a 2 hour layover in Henderson and 4 times what was originally paid. After many attempts to get some sort of refund. Nothing. Terrible service.

I am on bus 2030 traveling from las vegas, nv to victorville, ca. This bis is not blowing cool air at all! It is as hot on this bus as it is outside & due to the fact that the windows are not accessible they do not open so there is absolutely no air circulating in a full nus loaded with mostly adults! Several passengers have mentioned it to the attendant but she can't do anything about a bus that has"no working air conditioner", in it! I take psych meds & am not suppose to be in extreme "heat" & I purchased a ticket on flix bus under the belief that they provided comfort, safety, & an air conditioned ride.. Wow! Please respond immediately & I appreciate your consideration in resolving this matter in the very near future! Any questions you can contact me @ [protected]

On 08-30-2019, at approximately 1815 hours, I observed a Flixbus, #1095, California (I think) License Plate #EP00973, was traveling at approximately 70miles per hour, on Interstate 80 eastbound, approximately 5 miles west of Gold Run. The bus was changing lanes from the #1 lane to the #2 lane and then back to the #1 lane, cutting vehicles off. At one point, there was a motorcycle passing the bus in the #2 lane. The motorcycle was midway along the side of the bus, when the bus began merging from the #1 lane to the #2 lane. The bus didn't stop its merge just kept going over, forcing the motorcycle to swerve to the right in order to avoid being hit.

My booking number is [protected] (Trip from Eindhoven to Paris via Antwarpen) and has been cancelled suddenly without any reason on 30 August, 2019. Based on the confirmation from Flixbus, I have made all my Paris bookings including Hotel Reservation and other itinerary.

Based on this cancelled booking they have provided new tickets which id of next day early morning which do not suite me.

Please try to provide me with the tickets accordingly so that I can reach Paris by maximum 8 AM.

I had bought two (self & wife) tickets from Brussels to Antwerp through online, booking # [protected], reserved seats 4C, 4D. We were at the bus station at 12:50 hrs. When I was loading my luggage to the bus line 817, the driver stopped us and asked us where we are going. I told him my booking is on this bus line 817 from Brussels to Antwerp and then he said this is not the bus and asked us to remove the luggage. He told that our bus has already left and this is a different bus. The driver is Mohamed ( I could know his name through other drivers when they were addressing him) and he was demanding that I had to pay Euro 27, 90 if we have to board this bus. I know very well that, this is our bus line since the previous bus was at 12:05 hrs. and the next bus to Antwerp was at 17:15 hrs only.

THIS CHEATER DRIVER, MOHAMED, DID NOT ALLOW US TO BOARD THE BUS AND HE WAS DEMANDING NEW TICKET TO BE PURCHASED TO BOARD THE BUS. I DO NOT KNOW THIS TYPE OF FRAUD AND MALPRACTICE ARE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FLIXBUS ADMINISTRATION.

FINALLY WE HAD TO TAKE A TRAIN FROM BRUSSELS TO ANTWERP AS THIS FRAUD DRIVER DID NOT ALLOW US TO BOARD THIS BUS.

WE COULD SEE THE BUS LEAVING EXACTLY AT 13:08 HOURS FROM THE BUS STATION. EVEN THE OTHER DRIVER WHEN ENQUIRED, WAS DISCUSSING WITH MOHAMED AND THE OTHER DRIVER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE BUS WITH LINE 817, WHICH WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BOARD.

THIS TYPE OF FRAUD DRIVERS HAVE TO BE BANNED WHO CAUSE INCONVENIENCE TO THE PASSENGERS AND DEMANDING ADDITIONAL MONEY. THIS IS NOTHING BUT DAY ROBBERY AND I WAS WONDERING THIS ALL HAPPENS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FLIXBUS ADMINISTRATION.

I WOULD DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WITHIN 12 HOURS AND SUITABLE COMPENSATION FOR OUR HARDSHIP WHICH WE FACED DUE TO SUCH CHEATER DRIVERS LIKE MOHAMED, OTHERWISE, I WOULD BELIEVE THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FLIXBUS ADMINISTRATION AND REST ASSURED THIS WILL BE CIRCULATED THROUGH ALL SOCIAL MEDIA TO EXPOSE SUCH FRAUDS.

I was on the bus L902 (from Budapest Kelenfoid to Vienna Central station) which departed at 19:50 and supposed to arrive at 22:35. Yet, the bus end up arrived Vienna at almost 1 am. The bus has delayed for over 2 hours without any information or explanation provided. This was definitely an unpleasant travelling experience. Moreover, the toilet was broken and could not be use. Please ensure the facilities could be used and stick to the arrival time, thanks. I require a compensate on the issue.

To whom it may concern:
Our booking no was: [protected] and we were traveling by bus from Rotterdom to Antwerp and from Antwerp to London Victoria Station on 25/08/2019.
We arrived earlier than expected from Rotterdom to Antwerp we arrived there at 23:15 instead of 23:20.
We were supposed to departure from Antwerp to London Victoria at 00:25 and we all were delighted that we don't have long wait.
While we were waiting there lots of flixbuses came around for different destinations but none for London and our waiting time started from 11:15 to around 3:00 everyone was tired and puzzled that what's happening.
Finally I went to another flixbus driver and explained the station and asked for help there were more than 10 people waited for this journey. He was very kind made the phone call to the centre tring to find an answer but was given short answer from the centre that the coach to London has already left.
He lift and later we asked another driver as We couldn't get through the number was provided on the site 0049 30 300 137 300 keep answering that we were not registered to be able to call to this number.
The second driver took the time called the centre explaining that on that destination more than 10 people from 3 different destination are still waiting for that bus which was supposed to departure at 00:25 and the controller on the centre were saying that, that coach left Antwerp on 00:27
It was very disappointed that no one even tried to find out how come more than 10 people already waiting desperately for their journey could have missed the huge coach.
Everyone at the station were disappointed and not believed with the response they were getting from the centre.
We were there and the only way that we could have missed the bus if the driver departure earlier than 00:25
or there was not enough passengers and flixbus decided to just leave us there with easy response that our coach has left at 00:27
This was the second time I used flixbus and my experience is very awful.
We spent the entire night on the bus stop with the rest of people who were supposed to be on our way to London.
I was very disappointed at flixbus didn't care about the group of their passengers and not even tried to find a solution. It was my scariest most uncomfortable experience, I had.
I arrived more than 36 hours late and it costed me problems physically and financially.
I would be great full for this matter to be investigated throughly as there was no way a full group of people missed there Coat at the same time all from different distention to London.
I would like forward for your response.
You can contact me either by phone or email:

Hi,
We were on bus 1301 yesterday from prague to wroclaw. Our bus left on time from the bus station but every destination after that was late. We were stopped at boarder control which should have be3n factored into the time and stops were taking way to long to take off again. We spent about 20 minutes in a small countryside when there wasn't anybody to get on. At this stage we were already 45 minutes late. Our 5 hour journey needed up being 6 and a half close to 7 hours. The toilet facilities were un-acceptable. There was no toilet paper and an awful smell the whole entire journey. We have travelled with ye before and had a great journey but this has been by far the worst.

On 23. Avg 2019, at Erdberg in Vienna, the bus N982 for Plovdiv was supposed to leave at 16:30h and it came 18:20 without any info about delay on station display and even person on station on Info pult didnt have any info about it. I INSIST that you compensate cost for this tickets. And person who drove a bus to Vienna, guy with glasses called Jani didnt allow my wife and me to sit on a place we have payed for 1A and 1B athought we payed additional for those seats. He was yelling at one moment, emarrased us and we felt scared. After some time he let us sit on our seats, when he left the bus and stuff switched. Please, DO something. This is shame for Flixbus.

Attached is the photo my wife took from the back of the bus at 18:31h
