Flixbus

History Of Flixbus

FlixBus is a German brand that was launched in 2013, emerging from the liberalization of the German long-distance bus market. Founded by Jochen Engert, André Schwämmlein, and Daniel Krauss, FlixBus combined a technology-based platform with a traditional transportation industry. The goal was to provide an affordable and sustainable travel option that also integrates convenience and comfort.

Initially operating within Germany, FlixBus rapidly expanded to cover various European countries and, eventually, routes within the United States. The company's core concept was to partner with local bus companies who operate the buses while FlixBus handles the route planning, marketing, pricing, and customer services through its central platform.
