FlixBus Salzburg Vienna recent customer reviews

Very bad, bus was late 3 hours, missed connection and flixbus didn't propose alternative. I had to contact them and they gave a voucher and told me to buy myself another ride cause they cannot see any available buses. Ridiculous that they cannot see!! I will be 12 hours late and the new ticket costs more than the voucher. Not to mention all this hassle

Bus was 76 minutes late. Waiting area has nothing there really. Couple of toilets, 1 bench and a vending machine with drinks. In middle of nowhere to wait somewhere better.
