Zatim smo još dodatnih 20 minuta sjedili u busu i čekali, autobus nikako da krene. Nakon sve zajedno 50 minuta čekanja bus je napokon krenuo za Rijeku.

Sramotno ponašanje vozača autobusa imam 70 godina prošao sam pola svijeta svim mogućim prijevoznim sredstvima ali ovo još nisam doživio iako je autobus bio prazan 7 putnika sje sam na 12 sjedalo a vozač je dojurio u autobus i potjerao me kao balavca kako on to kaže u zadnju klupu samo što nije nasrnuo na mene imao sam osjećaj da će me izšamarati na zgražanja ostalih 7 putnika.Žalosno je kog Flixbus inače ugledna firma uzima za kooperanata da vozi ljude i ugrožava digurnost samim time jer dok je vozio u pravcu Rijeke nonstop mu je bio mobitel u ruci i veći dio vremena dok je upravljao autobusom je razgovarao na mobitelu. SRAMOTA Iloše preporuke za Flixbus

Bez komentara, vozac nezna engleski a kamoli hrvatski. Gdje ide ova Hrvatska?

Usluga je korektna, vozači više no profesionalni i ljubazni, ljudi znaju svoj posao. Kašnjenje nije problem, ali problem je nastao sa iznimno neljubaznom gospođom koja radi u Arrivi na Zagrebačkom kolodvoru. Stojeći u redu vidjela sam kako je neljubazno skinula s dnevnog reda stariju osobu,a onda kad sam ju ja upitala za zamjenu rezervacije ona je rekla da ne može i što mi fali da čekam do 17:55. Nakon toga sam se vratila malo kasnije i dečko koji je radio je bez problema zamijenio rezervaciju. Zaista gospođa ne zaslužuje da radi sa ljudima svi mi imamo svoje loše dane, ali ljudi od kojih zapravo živite a to su vaši putnici ne zaslužuju da ih vaša uposlenica neljubazno potjera iz poslovnice. Imamo mi drugih izbora što se tiče prevoza ali vaši vozači zaslužuju svako poštivanje ali ova gospođa na kolodvoru ni najmanje za ponašanje.
