The bus was disgusting, it was dirty, the toilet was not working. Someone messed it up and couldn’t flush because there was no water flowing. Everywhere in the bus reeked for fowl smell. This was a really horrible experience.

Users have shared positive experiences with FlixBus, highlighting the cozy and comfortable seats as well as a clean bus environment. The journey was efficient despite heavy traffic, which wasn't attributed to the driver. A suggestion for improvement includes strategically placing bin bags between seats to reduce littering inside the bus.
