Passengers at the limit: ÖBB buses without toilets-a scandal in Salzburg!

A nightmare for travelers: on the route between Spittal on the Drau and Bischofshofen in Salzburg, where the passengers rely on regional and some private buses, the toilet problem remains unsolved. Passengers complain that the buses either have no sanitary facilities or that the existing toilets are not accessible while driving. A affected passenger from Salzburg, who regularly has to go to the toilet due to a heart disease, described the Situation as unbearable. The ÖBB defends itself with the fact that the journey usually lasts under an hour and a half, which questions the need for a toilet. For urgent cases, it is recommended to speak to the drivers who can stop at rest stops. This solution was criticized by the state council of Sebastian Schuschnigg as completely inadequate. The pressure on those responsible is growing to advance the urgently needed construction of toilet facilities on the buses.

In another incident that describes frustration among Flixbus travelers, a passenger reports on his own horror trip. After arriving in Munich, his suitcase had disappeared, and he found himself in a whirlpool of confusion and anger when the bus driver gave insufficient information on luggage control and booking confirmation. Without receipt and without being recorded in the system, the traveler had no chance of getting his suitcase back. These experiences show defects in the handling of luggage and security processes at Flixbus. Questions about the responsibility and the need to make events through camera recordings understandable. The situation illustrates how important it is for travelers to insist on their own rights and to secure the necessary evidence, such as receipts.
