Hi, my name is René, aka. Reen. I am 36 years old and a father of two lovely kids. We are liliving in germany and love to go on rail adventures. I'm a passionate train fan. The journey is always more important to us than the destination.
So, couple of times a year i love to grab the kids and go on a round trip across europe. Sometimes the misses and our dogs come along too.

Thanks for this video! I've once took the overnight flixbus between Berlin and Amsterdam and I definitley agree with you. There was no wifi on board during the whole trip and the seats were really uncomfortable to sleep on! I'd rather would take the train to countries nearby me.
Flixbus is decent until that 3 hour mark I've found, then they're just uncomfortable. You were quite lucky with your fellow passengers. I've had absolutely selfish, loud and smelly folks as fellow passengers which made a 3 hour ride feel like a 6 hour ride.They should really start charging smelly passengers more when the chauffeur checks your ticket. 😂 Fixed fee of €5.
Here's hoping that nightbus you mentioned arrives sooner rather than later (no pun intended). The ones in Japan are amazing! Good video!
Thumbs up for the narrative and the subtitle!
That was really helpful for me! Thanks for the tips 👍
thank you for your video
Main reason Flixbus is expanding a lot in the UK is because of the endless rail disruption we are experiencing. The disruption has now lasted more than one year.
Is it that hard in the UK? In Germany Deutsche Bahn is a disaster right now. So many delays, so many candellations. It has never been so bad!
@@Reens-Rails Yes in UK there have been strikes etc on and off (now and again) since June 2022. Govt will not negotiate. Another RMT strike on July 29. ASLEF union is to ban worker overtime next week which might mean some cancellations.
Disabled or not you got to Paris safely, it was a cheap trip and you are still alive to tell the story and get money from Adsense and some ebegging too. How lovely.
We have now been waiting for the bus for more than an hour and ten minutes and it has not come, and when the tickets are cut, the funny thing is that one of the slogans of this company is punctuality, hahaha.
😂😂😂😂
Nice video.👍
About to travel to Gdansk in a weeks time. We bought our tickets more than a month prior and after 2-3 weeks that ride was canceled so we had to change to inconvenient times and we will have to change buses in Warsaw. So I'm a but nervous, because I'm starting to hear more about inconveniences with FlixBus.
This video was very helpful thank you :)
Thank you so much 😊
Flixbus is good for trips with 3-4h duration
Btw there is a line starting from Dortmund crossing Germany,Belgium,France,Spain and Portugal with 37h duration 😂
37 hours? Oh damm. My butt is hurting by only thinking about it 🤣
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. I really feel it would be helpful for a budget traveler like me. I had a good experience traveling around the UK in May 2024. I took one long journey from London to Edinburgh. I would say it's worth the budget-friendly cost to travel between these two cities. It would be great to prepare for travel with suggestions like carrying an eye mask and travel pillow, which would help you have at least a good experience.
I am planning to travel next month to Europe and I really want to use FlixBus to move around at least three European countries. So I think I would go with the FlixBus option. However, I need to do a bit more research to see if I can get a low-budget airline or if I need to choose FlixBus. I am too afraid to go ahead with train journeys as they seem way too expensive.
Do you have any advice, tips, or suggestions? I am planning to travel to Switzerland, then Salzburg, Munich, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, the UK, and Ireland. Any suggestions and tips would be really appreciated.
Small tip if waiting at the station they leave from, across the road is a fire station place that had good stuff to look at whilst waiting on the bus. I done the overnight flixbus amsterdam to dortmund and the noisiest people on board was the driver and drivers mate, absolute joke.
Flixbuses in finland too
Thanks for the video. Now I feel I know the real truth about this type of journey. How can you sleep sitting up?
You can't. Maybe with a bit more legroom but not on this busses.
schade, dass ihr nicht erklärt habt, wie man zum rer kommt. Da konnte ich bisher nichts finden
They as ur passport depending where u at ?
Hi, I was wondering if it is safe on the way to the Paris Bercy station to catch a midnight bus? Are there usually still lots of travelers at that time as shown in your video? I was wondering if it worths it to take the last bus to maximize my trip. thanks.
I hope some others can respond to that, as I only was this one time at Bercy. From my experience, I wouldn't want to be around that area at night. It was very crowded, many homeless people and garbage around. Not the nicest area, but that was only my experience on that specific day. I don'Ät know if thats usualy the case.
@@Reens-Rails Thanks. Do you think it is possible to get a Uber from the metro to the bus station?
Flixbus in Brazil is not cheap anymore and lousy buses. No wifi also, they keeping changing departure time and a lot of delay. For me, no more Flixbus...
كيف نعمل في حالة ضياع امتعتي في الحافلة المتجهة الى بولونيا زوجي فقد امواله وهاتفه النقال نزل فقط ليغسل وجهه لما عاد لم يجد الحافلة نحن نمر بوضع صعب كيف نعمل من فضلكم ؟؟
ok all things considered let's not forget its a 40 Euro solution Dortmund to Paris!
Well if you want extra space, you can buy seat next to you, so you have extra free seat to have more space or put some backpack. I travelled few times from Zagreb to Salzburg and you can do that way
So basically you need to buy two tickets to do this?
@@user-cd9rd7jb2zNo, when you’re buying ticket, you have option to buy extra seat next to you, if you want more space
I have booked tickets in January here in the US and I too am disabled. Customer Service is a joke. I have questions that are new t answered on the website and definitely things about disability and additional carry one like food, drinks, pillows and do on. Do you think you can reach someone from the company? No! The system actually tells you to look at the website and hangs up on you. Also the location is suppose to be at Union Station where I would have access to security, food, drinks and bathroom, but instead the actual location is where I wasn't happy about two blocks away. Why state Union Station if you aren't parking there? The reason I am not flying is because I am handicapped and don't want the airlines to damage my walker and flying is a big pain in the butt now days. I have more control with my walker stored on the bus, but that means I can't leave the bus during stops because my walker is stored. No matter what traveling for handicapped is a royal pain!
I can feel your pain. Maybe you can contact the european customer service? As the "mother-company" they should at least know who the right contact for the US is. Try service@flixbus.de.
1:44 I tried with my 16 inch and it was impossibile to stay comfortable even with the seat next to mine being empty
Exactly! I bet even with a big phone they bend down 🤣
Seatbelts are mandatory in all of Europe, not only Flixbus.
Did police check your passport when you crossed the boarders?
No, there are no real border check points between Germany, Belgium and France, like in most of Europe. It can be, that the police pulls the bus over but not in our case.
Does the buss have a toilet?
Yes, a very small one

Why can they not tackle real sleeping busses like in Vietnam? I'd be more willing to entomb myself into a coffin that is stapled upon others wherein I could really lie down instead of having to sit through the journey. It is not possible to recreationally sleep while being in any form of sitting stance. bunk beds please!
I think we won’t get bunkbeds in European buses. But check out my outlook about. @twiliner at the end of the video. They will hopefully start this year with their lie flat seat.
@@Reens-Railswhy bunk beds will not appear on European busses? Many countries even developing countries have now introduced such bunk bed busses and they are a success.
Exactly, and if the journey is very long, the seated position can give ache. Berths in trains are the way to go but I think there are far fewer train coaches when we compare the volume of train travel and the price is way too high, again because of far fewer coaches than needed
@@user-cd9rd7jb2z due to the strict regulations about safety on the roads. Twiliner will be the first service in Europe with a real sleeping arrangement.
@@user-cd9rd7jb2z so true, so sadly.
*promo sm*
Can’t stand the guy putting his feet up without his shoes .
Yes, the whole front row was doing that. Unsafe and disguisting
Not LA. Thanks. (0:01-től)
