August 20 – Another Horrific Bus Experience! When Does It End?

This is how I feel about Flixbus

The first leg of the bus trip went as scheduled. We were dropped off at Frankfort Airport to await our transfer. We had about a 25 minute wait. My tummy had been upset and was visiting the toilet more than usual. When the time grew nearer to bus arrival we went outside to the stop. All of a sudden my tummy was upset again and I asked Han if I had a few minutes to dash back inside. He looked at his watch and said yes, so I took off. By the time I walked through the front door of the airport, Han is screaming to hurry up because the bus was early and not going to wait, even though it was not time for him to depart.

Flixbus

I’m running out of bad words for this company. I wonder if they intentionally hire drivers from the bottom of the barrel of humanity. Here is our latest description of the despicable asshole who left us stranded at Frankfurt International Airport. We were already waiting outside 20 minutes before departure time, long before the bus actually arrived at the bus stop. TJ had to quickly run in the airport to the bathroom and of course that’s when the bus arrived. I had the driver scan our tickets and put my suitcase in the hold and ran back to get her suitcase 40 yards away. In that time he closed the gate to the hold, told me to get in or off and was not going to wait for my wife’s urge to go shopping. I told him she went to the bathroom and would be back any second. Mind you official departure time was at least three minutes out. Since he kept insisting in a loud voice in or out, I took my suitcase out of the hold, while I saw my wife coming out of the airport 60 yards away. This parasite fuckwad jumped in the bus closed the doors and started driving off. Fifty yards further he had to get off the bus to pay the parking fee, we ran and caught up with him, begging to please let us on – it wouldn’t have taken a minute to do that. But he actually ran back to the bus entrance, pushed the door close never even looking at us, who were right behind him. Now that is beyond anything I have ever seen or experienced in customer service. I looked at my watch, which is satellite set and it was not yet 12:20.
Please whenever you see Flixbus anywhere, run quick and far. I was looking for an adventure travel at age 65 and decided on Flixbus, what they gave us was a nightmare of human despicability. I hate to admit that I actually hope something bad will happen to this man. Unfortunately I have lost my faith in karma. Having been left stranded twice in 3 days is a very bad record in my book. I will spend considerable time in the future making this company regret the way they treated us (and others by the way). Euro 170 later we took the train from Frankfurt back to Holland. Should have used the train all the way. Lesson learned, but not done with these parasites.
