FlixBus

FlixBus (German pronunciation: ['flɪksbʊs]; styled FLiXBUS) is a German brand that offers low-cost intercity coach services in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. It is owned by Flix SE, which also operates FlixTrain, FlixCar, Kâmil Koç, and Greyhound Lines. FlixBus operates buses or – in many cases – just handles marketing, pricing, and customer service for a commission, on behalf of bus operators. FlixBus operates across five continents: Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. Its services span 44 countries, FlixBus operates an asset-light model in which travel services are provided by over 1,000 local bus partners, while Flix centrally manages network planning, scheduling, pricing, booking, and marketing. The company operates in 44 countries across five continents, offering over 300,000 daily connections. The company’s growth began in Europe following the deregulation of the German intercity bus market in 2013. In 2015, FlixBus merged with MeinFernbus, consolidating its position in Germany and enabling further international expansion. Between 2015 and 2016, it launched services in France, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. FlixBus expanded to the United States in 2018, first operating from Los Angeles, then expanding to the East Coast in 2019 through a partnership with Eastern Bus. FlixBus also launched service in Brazil in 2021, Canada in 2022, Chile in 2023, India in 2024, and Mexico and Australia in 2025.
