Train vs Flixbus for arriving to Padua
I'm landing at Milan Malpensa Airport and I want to know which option is better to come to Padua from.
For the train I'd have to go from the airport to the Milan central station and then Padua . From the ticket prices online it will also cost more than the flixbus. I also heard that there's going to be a train strike later at night on the day I arrive and I'm worried if maybe my flight gets delayed or I get delayed at immigration that I will not be able to get to Padua cause of the strike.
For Flixbus, the tickets are much cheaper and there's a direct bus to Padua. I think approximately the arrival time for both the bus and final train are similar. But I'm not familiar with Flixbus at all. Is it reliable in the sense of security and punctuality?
Has anyone used Flixbus before to reach Padua when arriving and would you recommend it over the train.
