I’m looking at ways to get from Berlin to Estonia besides flying. This video explained what flexibus is. However I can deal with boredom and long bus rides, but I’m physically intolerant to fragrances and heavy cleaning chemicals. Also how was the temperature. I like it on the cool side with air flowing to keep the smells down vs hot, stuffy, and smelly. I wish there could have been some mention of this. Hopefully there was no smoking or vaping on board. Also were there any rest stops to get out and stretch your legs and time to use restrooms/toilet in order to avoid the toilet on board.
Personally, I would choose the train between these two places if you can, FlixBus is decent (particularly if budget conscious). However, the train has an onboard restaurant, and clean(er) toilets too. There wasn't any rest opportunities for this trip, not sure if there is on the longer stretch to Warsaw and beyond. The bus wasn't stuffy, with the temperature pleasant too.
Always a loud phone talker. Don't understand it myself but been a victim of it before unfortunately. Surprised it was as much as €28 but was that because it was a last minute booking? Flix can be great value for money and can book neighbour free on a lot of journeys. Good reviews 👍
Thanks. Yeah we were planning on getting the train, but last minute train strikes put a stop to that. Still was decent for booking pretty much a few hours before!
Aah yes, the train/bus loud phone talkers. They're a nightmare. Also did you check the toilet? In my experience, always but always some idiot clogs the toilet by flushing toilet paper or some other stuff. Airplane toilets can manage that but bus toilets won't take long to get clogged.
Yes I did, the toilet was not great on this bus but I have seen much worse before. Quite surprised it was in okay-ish condition considering the length the bus had travelled from Lyon.

@@GlasgowReports That makes sense now. How much was the train out of interest? (And comparison)
have border check?
There wasn’t a border check on this bus
