Does FlixBus have free WiFi? (Yes, 250MB)

Does FlixBus have free WiFi? (Yes, 250MB)

Friends often joke about how bad FixBus is but none of the ~10 rides I've been on were particularly unpleasant.

In fact, this most recent bus even had 250 MB of free WiFi. I didn’t bother using it but I found it to be an amusingly small amount for a 10 hour trip. I think it’s the first time I saw WiFi on a FlixBus. According to Reddit, they also block video streaming. It’s powered by RebelRoam, which is quite proud to provide "Network Optimization" by blocking video.

Blocking video doesn't seem that bad for the context but it's pretty lame that they get away with advertising "free WiFi" that rarely exists and offers so little data.

Not sure how long they've been doing this but I found a Tweet about it from 2023.

I'm not sure if it's on every route but I was traveling on bus N61 going from Amsterdam to Nuremberg on October 3rd from 10:30 pm to 8:10 am.

They also sold beer on the bus, another new one for me. 🍺
