Quick heads-up for anyone taking a night bus with FlixBus:
I boarded a 3:40 AM bus from Berlin to Paris without bringing food or drinks, assuming there would be stops with shops along the way. Based on prior trips across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, that had always been the case.
However, on this journey, all stops were limited to restroom breaks only—no दुकाने or places to buy food. As a result, I went nearly 19–20 hours without eating.
Just a reminder: don’t rely on stops for food on long bus routes. Always carry snacks and water, especially on overnight trips.
