I have also travelled in a double-deck Flixbus from Copenhagen to Malmö to see the Øresund Bridge close up: th-cam.com/video/bIug8bkgbJY/w-d-xo.html. ✨
If you go to Malmo, be sure to take a quick trip to Copenhagen - if I remember correctly it is only 25 minutes on the train. The view from the Oresund bridge is wonderful. Also, try driverless metro in Copenhagen - you can sit in the front :)
Even if both Sweden and Norway are members of the Schengen area, police and customs have the right to do random ID-checks at the borders. During the pandemic it was more or less mandatory but now it's more seldom and random.
Its worth saying that vehicle free height in Sweden is 4.5 meters. There is actually no rule how high a vehicle is alowed to be, but the free height is 4.5 (maximum that will fit under all bridges that are certified for free height). But that can mostly not be used on busses that travle to Norway and Denmark
I travelled that line in August this year. An unbranded single decker, not very much like a train. The bus station in Göteborg is on one side of the station and the replacement bus that eventually took me to the Öresund train is on the other side, quite a walk. I really prefer trains and I hope that (as announced) trains will run more frequently in the future. Looks like there are still infrastructure constraints (is Follobanen still out of order?) Earlier in July I had gone the other way in a train (Stadler FLIRT). I expected it to be S-Bahn like but it's actually comfortable enough and (unlike the Öresund trains) has snacks and coffee machines on board.
With a good coach, good driver and good road, the experience in general is much better that it sounds when you think on a long bus trip. It was the case, it was a comfortable trip. But yes, trains have a lot of pluses that improve a lot of the experience. Thanks for your comment!
@@PointOfTrips The bus is really comfortable, the space between seats is big, and the views from the windows are beautiful. The roads are not so flat, so some vibration experienced. An advantage against a train is big luggage compartment, a train has less space for bulky items. I travelled by train Gothenburg-Stockholm and by bus Stockholm-Oslo.
@@PointOfTrips lucky. Had the same when entering Norway at the same border crossing. Norwegian customs were checking but they only selected Norwegian cars. All foreign vehicles could drive in straight away. Probably they were checking and looking for alcohol and other imported goods die to the high taxes in Norway….
@@PointOfTrips There is a saying in Sweden "Alla heter Glen i Göteborg" which translates to "Everyone is named Glen in Gothenburg", the saying comes from the the time where a football team in Gothenburg had I think 6 players named Glen

Thanks for your recommendation! Soon I think we can see what you say on the channel. 😄 Keep in touch.

Interesting details, thanks for the information! And yes, you're right, we had an ID-check in a second trip between Denmark and Sweden again.
Again.

How much bus ticket? Oslo-Göteborg
23-29€ depending on when you order etc. Vy's webpage has an english language option if you want to check it out for yourself.
I just took this ride today, it was beautiful
Very good!
Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Was this bus electric
I think not.
No it's not
There don´t exist any long distance busses that are electric of today. Only city and regional busses.
I guess it was a Customs control. Common because it’s an EU border.
Yes, it's true. It can be. But at the end we continued the march immediately.

Bus station outside. How romantically old-fashioned.
Very cool! It combines modern and old pros.
@@PointOfTrips Haven't you seen the bus station in Helsinki, Finland?
@@artoeloranta2810 I've only seen it from the outside. It's in a shopping center, right?
Visiting Glen?
If Glen is Gothenburg, yes. 😉
