FlixBus (German pronunciation: ['flɪksbʊs]; styled FLiXBUS) is a German brand that offers intercity bus services in 44 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia, with over 300,000 daily connections. It is owned by Flix SE [de], which also operates FlixTrain, Kâmil Koç [tr] and Greyhound Lines. FlixBus operates buses or – in many cases – just handles network planning, scheduling, pricing, booking and marketing, as well as customer service, for a commission, on behalf of over 1,000 bus operators.[1][2][3][4]

History

[edit]

FlixBus was founded in 2011 in Munich by Daniel Krauss, Jochen Engert and André Schwämmlein. They had met in university and began discussing the concept in 2009 after plans were made to deregulate the bus industry in Germany.[5]

FlixBus launched its first three routes in February 2013 in Bavaria, Germany, to take advantage of Germany opening up its bus market to competition.[6]

In January 2015, FlixBus acquired MeinFernbus, increasing its market share in Germany.[7] In conjunction with the acquisition, General Atlantic made an investment in the company.[8]

In November 2015, the company acquired LIINITA, a ridesharing company.[9]

In August 2016, FlixBus acquired Postbus, an operator of German bus lines, from Deutsche Post.[10] FlixBus then had control of roughly 80% of the German long-distance bus market.[11][12][13]

Between 2015 and 2016, FlixBus launched services in France, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. In the following years, it added routes across Europe.[14]

In July 2016, FlixBus acquired Megabus Europe from Stagecoach Group. Stagecoach became an operating partner.[15]

In May 2017, FlixBus acquired the Hellö coach network, an operator of Austrian bus lines, from Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB).[16]

In April 2018, FlixBus was the first to use all-electric vehicles on a long-distance bus route, between Paris La Défense and Amiens.[17]

In May 2018, FlixBus entered the North American market, first operating from Los Angeles and the Southwestern United States.[18]

Also in May 2018, FlixBus acquired Swebus Express, an operator of Swedish bus lines, from Nobina.[19]

In April 2019, FlixBus acquired Eurolines operating businesses in France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic and Spain and acquired Isilines from Transdev.[20][21]

In May 2019, FlixBus expanded to the East Coast of the United States via a partnership with Eastern Bus.[22]

In August 2019, FlixBus entered the Turkish market through the acquisition of Kâmil Koç, one of Turkey's largest intercity bus operators, from Actera Group, a private equity firm.[23][24]

In October 2021, FlixBus acquired Greyhound Lines from FirstGroup for $78 million. The acquisition extended Flix's network to over 1,600 destinations in the U.S. and Canada.[25][26][27][28][29]

FlixBus entered Latin America in 2021 with services in Brazil,[30] expanding to more than 100 cities by 2024.

In April 2022, the company converted from a GmbH structure to an SE structure and was renamed Flix SE.[31]

FlixBus launched service in Canada in 2022.[32][33][34]

The company launched services in Chile in 2023.[35]

FlixBus launched services in India in early 2024, connecting 46 cities through a network of 59 stops and more than 200 connections.[36][37]

In March 2024, FlixBus launched its first electric bus, with service between Newport, Bristol and London.[38]

Services in Mexico began in May 2025.[39]

In November 2025, FlixBus launched services in Australia.[40][41][42] The service operates between Central railway station, Sydney, Jolimont Centre in Canberra, and Southern Cross railway station in Melbourne and is operated by Deanes Coaches and the Donric Group.[43][44]

In January 2026, FlixBus acquired a majority stake in Flibco, which offers bus service to/from airports, from SLG; SLG retained a minority stake in Flibco.[45][46]

Financing history – parent company, Flix SE

[edit]

In 2013, the company received equity financing from Mercedes-Benz Group and the Technical University of Munich.[5]

In July 2019, the company raised €500 million in a Series F financing round led by TCV and Permira, valuing the company at over €2 billion.[47]

In June 2021, FlixMobility GmbH raised $650 million in a Series G financing round at a valuation of US$3 billion from investors including General Atlantic, Permira, TCV, HV Capital, BlackRock, Baillie Gifford, and SilverLake.[48]

In July 2024, EQT AB and Kuehne + Nagel acquired a 35% stake in the company for €1 billion.[49][50] As part of the funding round, Porsche invested "low double-digit million" euros in FlixBus.[51]
