FlixBus is a young mobility provider that has been changing the way millions of people travel in Europe over the past 3 years. As a combination of tech-startup, e-commerce-platform and transportation company, FlixBus was able to establish Europe’s largest intercity bus network in the shortest amount of time.
Thanks to a user-friendly booking system and an extensive route network, they can offer travellers the opportunity to experience the world no matter their budget. Their green buses comply with the highest safety and environmental standards, so that they can offer a sustainable and convenient alternative to private transport. They provide the highest level of comfort.
FlixBus was founded by three young entrepreneurs in Munich with the goal of making sustainable bus travel both comfortable and affordable. At the same time, “MeinFernbus” began operating bus routes from Berlin throughout Germany. After the end of the rail monopoly in 2013, these two start-ups established themselves as the leaders of the long-distance bus market and gained a strong position against international competitors. Since the merge of their teams in Munich and Berlin, they are the clear market leader in Germany.
Their success can be attributed to the digitization of traditional bus travel. With technological advancements like their e-ticketing system, the FlixBus-App, free Wi-Fi on board and GPS Live Tracking, they have been revolutionizing the bus travel industry. Through smart network planning and dynamic price management, they provide their customers with great offers. They also rely closely on partnerships with small and medium-sized enterprises: their regional bus partners – often family-owned companies with decades of experience, are responsible for their green FlixBus fleet. This is where the innovation and start-up spirit of FlixBus meets the experience and know-how of traditional SMBs.
