Travel Germany and Europe by bus starting at 0,99 EUR oneway [PAUSED DUE COVID-19!]
BlaBlaBus, the Europe-wide operating long-distance bus company and competitor to Flixbus, is currently again offering extremely attractive oneway fares for long-distance bus trips. If you book at least one week in advance, prices are available from 0.99 EUR (approx. 1 USD, 0.85 GBP). And this on long distance routes such as Munich-Berlin or Munich-Cologne. Europe-wide connections are available from 4.99 EUR (approx. 5.50 USD; 4.30 GBP), for example Munich-Paris or Munich-Amsterdam.
What is BlaBlaBus?
BlaBlaBus is a French company providing long distance bus services throughout Europe. The owner is the ridesharing company „BlaBlaCar“, which is well known in Europe.
After the German company Flixbus has gained a large market share in Europe, there is little competition. BlaBlaBus is one of the competitors and offers from time to time very reasonable long distance fares. If you as a traveller through Europe have the time to sit in a long distance bus for several hours, you can travel cheaply by bus throughout Europe. This is ideal for travelers on a tight budget, students or backpackers
How big is the BlaBlaBus network?
From Munich you can reach all major cities in Germany and western Europe such as Berlin, Cologne, Straßbourg, Paris, Amsterdam, Luxembourg or Milan. See the whole BlaBlaBus network.

What is included in the cheap fares?
Often such offers are just bait and switch offers or you have to book every little thing extra in the further booking process. But not here!
The following things are included in the special rate:
- Two pieces of luggage/person (max. 20kg/44lbs per piece; LxHxW = max. 200cm/78.7in)
- Two pieces of carry-on baggage (must fit in the overhead compartment)
- Seat reservation
- Air Conditioned bus
- In-seat Power-Outlet and USB-Outlet
- reclining seats
- free Wi-fi (restricted to network coverage. There may be areas with no mobile signal)
But there has to be a snag to it, does it?
The only thing I found was the fact that the fares couldn’t be booked short-term (tomorrow, day after tomorrow). Also, the fare was linked to a certain connection. Usually one or two early connections (in the morning) and a late connection (in the evening).
