Pretty expensive offering — a quick search of short haul west coast routes appears to be more expensive than flying.

Seen enough Flix buses pulled over with shredded tires in CA on various highways that I would never let a loved one use them. Anecdotal but definitely scary.

First, they don't really do these $4.99 "gimmie" fares like Megabus does. Megabus purposefully sells a limited amount of tickets for $1 depending on route and time of year. My first Megabus "$1" trip was from Chicago to New York, which unsurprisingly they don't do anymore.

I've taken Flixbus three times in 2022, and can say all of them were safe rides. I went from FLL->MIA on them, they departed five minutes early (before I got there) so I got a small refund and a coupon, had to buy the next bus ticket online as the next bus came in because my old ticket didn't work.

MIA->FLL was fine.

PHL->NYC was great. Had a good conversation with the bus driver, but part of me felt like he was fuming that I didn't end up tipping him afterwards. In fairness, he did cut across several lanes of traffic and wouldn't lay off the horn, in true New Yorker fashion.

I have done multiple short west coast rides in past 1 year on Flixbus and never had any issue. It is no frill ride and has wifi onboard, but safe. I would use their service again.

(I have no/zero affliction with them, just sharing my experience)

Fun fact: Flixbus was buying Greyhound back in 2021 https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/21...-78m-deal/

I've used their 5$ fare from Houston to MS back in 2019. Don't know if that fare is still available.

We met a family member who did a one way Phoenix to Flagstaff and they had a great experience. It was about $15 and $4 of that was the "premium" seat selection at the front of the bus.

No problem. I just ran a quick itinerary for 4/15 and the same trip now (on Flixbus,not Greyhound) leaving the same airport station is ~$32 ($22 fare/$6 seat/$4 fee). I don't recall the "service fee" charge and I know the overall price was less last year.

My only experience with them is they're supposed to have a stop in Olympia, WA. Well the boarding time came and went. Found out they didn't even stop there. Wasted a lot of time and money because of it, including the price of tickets for Flix. Fortunately after LOTS of bugging them, they finally gave a refund. Definitely have a bad enough experience, that I wouldn't deal with them again.

I used flixbus when i was in Tucson Az traveling to Phoenix before covid times. Minus a broken AC incident, it was much better than greyhound or shuttles at the time.
