FlixBus Krakow Vienna recent customer reviews

I spent 15 hours trying to cross the border into Poland. Because of this I lost my bus ticket from Krakow to Vienna plus my flight ticket from Vienna to Riyadh. The bus company or driver should warn the potential passengers about the wait time at the border do as to buy appropriate ticket. Since this company nor Flixbus do that, then it’s poor quality, unless I get refunded for my list bus ticket, I’ll never use this service again.
