Poor customer service and discrimination towards reduced mobility passenger (despite website claims, and proper ticket paid for wheelchair plus extra seat).

I had terrible experience as a result of travelling from New York to Toronto. The bus was broken 3 hours drive for New York at 12 am. First, The bus drivers told people that mechanic is coming to fix the bus. In 1 hour, they mentioned that a bus from Toronto is coming in 6 hours. The drivers kept pouring water on the bus. I appalled when a rude bus driver refused to give water to the person who was a diabetic . No bus arrived in 6 hours. I spoke with the bus driver , and he refused that the bus driver would come in 6 hours. The bus drivers continued sleeping in the bus, and refused to cooperate . I had to call to 911, the police came . The police officer forced the driver to call to management, and the bus came in 30 min. The customer service is absolutely impostures. There were children, people with diabetes in the bus. We did not have access to food, water , medications for almost 12 hours. The customer service kept telling us “We understand your frustration , but we cannot do anything “. I absolutely don’t recommend to travel with the Flixbus. It is more advantageous to spend slightly more, but save your time , energy and don’t destroy your health .

SCAM SCAM AND SCAM. PLEASE RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. ORDER #3010787233. MY TRAVEL TIME WAS 11.40 AM AND FLIXBUS CANCELLED MY TICKET AT 11:44 AM. INS'T IT FUNNY? I HAD TO BOOK THE TRAIN AT THE LAST MOMENT AND IT COST ME A-LOT. I REQUESTED REFUND FOR THE CANCELLATION THEY MADE AND THEY HOLD £1.00 BOOKING FEES. SO, IF IT IS 60 SEATS COACH, £60 HAD GONE STRAIGHT INTO THEIR POCKET WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SERVICE. THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH PROFESSIONAL THEY ARE IN LOOTING PEOPLE. (PROFESSIONAL THEIF) NOT ONLY THIS, WHEN FLIXBUS GET DELAYED FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS AT THE ARRIVAL DESTINATION, THEY WILL STILL REFUSE TO REFUND YOU AND WILL MAKE EXCUSE THAT THERE WAS NOT 2 HOURS DELAY AT THE DEPARTURE POINT. ONE MORE THING, PLEASE DON'T USE PAYPAL FOR PAYING THIS COMPANY AS PAYPAL WILL REFUSE YOUR CLAIM NO MATTER HOW MUCH EVIDENCE YOU PROVIDE TO THEM. USE YOUR BANK CARD INSTEAD. AND LAST THING, IF YOU WANT YOUR JOURNEY TO BE RUINED COMPLETELY THEN GO WITH FLIXBUS AND ENJOY THE WORST JOURNEY OF YOUR LIFE.

If you want to be conned then use this service. During their scan of tickets, the ticket on my FlixBus app couldn't scan and I had to pay for another ticket last minute. At the time of booking it was £68.99 then during checkout they captilised on my misfortune by hiking the price to £112.99(picture proof) and now have palmed me off with a £46,99 voucher even with all the evidence. I have no interest in using the voucher personally. I was with friends who witnessed all this and if it wasn't for them I would of been stranded as I didn't have the money to afford the ticket at the time. I would of just been left in France alone due to them not being able to scan my ticket. Everytime I sent an email a different person responded, the service is a joke. I used to run a business and have to they treat their customers is absolutely appalling.

I will share my opinion about this "wonderfull company"! I used the services of Flixbus when driving from Prague to Krakow. The trip was generally normal. But at the Katowice station, I got off the bus (to warm up). I came to the timetable where the bus was parked. And saw that it must leave a station at 6:30 p.m. It was 6:10 p.m. Time plays an important role here. I realized that I have time to go to the store at the train station. And when I got from there at 6:15 p.m., I saw that the bus was already gone! The driver does not matter about schedule and what you need to check the passengers! And left me in a strange city, without things or documents! But that's okay, because this story has 3 stages! I even drew a separate conclusion at the end, for those who don't want to read it all. Stage two. When I got to Krakow, I went to the company's office and told myself what had happened. The manager listened to me (by the way, it's the only sane person in this story). He said the driver was at the bus station but already leaved. He called the driver and told them about the incident. And he said in response that it is terrible and that we will surely solve this problem. No!!! It was sarcasm. He laughed and said I'll be in two days. Besides, Krakow for me is also a city in which I have nothing and also no acquaintances! Level three. I wrought a letter to support. They didn't care either. And my letter went unanswered for almost 2 days. Later, I also wrote to the company's manager in a live chat. He checked and replied that my application and the truth were received and of course we will answer it as soon as possible. I must say that more than a week has passed and "as soon as possible" has not come !! I. E. to my application so far and has not responded. I also had to stay another day because the second manager in the office refused to call the colleague and check the information when I returned. He made me wait another day. And it turned out he was wrong. When I wrote to the company for the second time, I promised the manager that if my application is not answered in 2 days, I will write on all platforms where I can find Flixbus company. But that didn't embarrass him either. And my parents taught me that promises must be kept. Fortunately for the company, I only know 4 languages ​​and I don't have a lot of time. But a promise is a promise. Result: I lost 3 days with no things and no documents in a strange city, the driver even made fun of this fact, the company's managers are not interested in such cases (attention, there was an adequate manager in the story). At photo tickets and time, when I bought new tickets in Katowice.

Literally stole the money from its customers. A year ago i booked trip through Flixbus and the trip were canceled due to Corona. They issued me vouchers instead of refund the money back to my bank account. I didn’t notice that the voucher is valid ONLY FOR A YEAR since the issued date. Literally now we still in the middle of Corona and my 31,18euro is expired because I wasn’t able to travel anywhere. A very well trick from the company to steal the money. PLUS their customer service is really hard to reach and there is no way you could contact them for a refund.
