Pendulum Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) I'm travelling with FlixBus next week on a mountainous route it won't even be a FlixBus branded bus so even scarier. RIP to the victims. Edited March 27 by Pendulum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP to the victims. Where are you traveling to? Honestly from experiences I've heard from friends the drivers are generally driving pretty safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly from experiences I've heard from friends the drivers are generally driving pretty safe. Tirana (Albania) to Podgorica (Montenegro) Got the ticket via the FlixBus app but the bus carrier is a different company. Just read the reviews and.. well, I'm lowkey regretting it. 1.9 stars reviews on Google I've had my fair share with FlixBus and to be fair, FlixBus most often than not steers into the hazardous side. They need better busdrivers or at the very least, have them pass multiple controls or whatever. Most drivers are Polish and Romanian so certainly not the best drivers in Europe. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most mountain drivers are extremely experienced and capable of handling such situations. If god forbid anything were to happen to a bus on a mountainous route it would be more so due to circumstances out of the drivers' hands than their incompetence.

abrantino Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Tbh I never felt very safe in a Flixbus, for various reasons and definitely not only because of the drivers. But they're the main reason to be worried, Flixbus pressures them with extremely tight schedules so that sometimes they can't even take breaks. Plus there are thousands of reports of either passengers or other motorists seeing the drivers on their phones while driving amongst other things. There have been quite a few deadly Flixbus accidents in recent years too...the quality of their service might differ from country to country though.

diemoehre Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Oh no, that's awful! Hoping that the rest of the passengers makes it through. I agree with many of you guys here, Flixbus doesn't always feel safe. I'm luckily able to afford taking the train which is the safest way to travel in general I think. Flixbus even has some trains in Germany which is cool.
