They dont have good management of customers expectations. People got on the bus with the wrong ticket and a child had not paid the fare, which led to delays.

O motorista do autocarro me deixou na rodoviária de Cárcere e seguiu viagem e fiquei lá sem dinheiro para comprar outro bilhete para chegar em Lisboa, uma mulher que eu nem conhecia ficou com pena de mim e comprou minha passagem para Lisboa. E eu vim sem minha mala , pois a mala já estava no autocarro, cheguei só agora aqui em Lisboa. Estou sem roupas para trocar.

Well for a low cost trip was awesome but bus arrived almost 1 hour late, the gate was never announced in the gates board, there was no way to speak with someone from FlixBus, no stand , no agent and on top of that the sit assignment wasn’t respected , the bus driver was very friendly and willing to help with all our doubts and good sense of humor too
