Flix

Final call to register for the Helsinki Half Marathon! As Flix, we will be there and we're also happy to help you get there for the race weekend! It's not common to see us partnering with a running event, but Helsinki's unique vibe and spectacular views along the route convinced us to join. Among the many races across Europe, this one stands out for the incredible city tour you get while running. Getting to the race as a participant or spectator has never been easier. We've just opened more Finnish domestic lines which, together with our international network including ferries offer affordable and comfortable transportation from all around the Baltic Sea. No time to wait! Register, lace up your running shoes, and let's go. See you in Helsinki! 🏃♂️ Link to registration in the comments below.

✈️I visited the flibco.com operations at Charleroi Airport and Brussels this week, and I was genuinely impressed by it. 💡One of the highlights for me was the Mobility Center at the airport. It’s a great example of how airports and mobility providers can work together to build infrastructure that creates a fantastic passenger experience and takes airport bus travel to a completely new level. Together, Flibco and the airport have built a holistic concept connecting a wide catchment area across multiple cities and regions, giving travelers an easy, frequent, and reliable way to reach the airport without people having to rely on their cars. And that customers seemed to love it too, Flibco was a very popular option for many of them.                I also had the chance to spend some time with the local team, and you can really feel their expertise and experience with both airports and buses. 🚌At Flix, we strongly believe that airport shuttle services will continue to grow in importance in the years ahead. Travelers increasingly want affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use mobility options. And this trend will only continue in this direction. That’s exactly why Flibco is such a strong fit for Flix. 🚀I’m very proud of what the Flibco team has built over the years here, and I truly believe it’s an example many airports could learn from.

Greyhound has launched a special fleet of commemorative buses celebrating 250 years of the United States.   🇺🇸 For more than a century, Greyhound has helped Americans get where they need to go, whether that is to jobs, to family, to education, to military service, or to new beginnings. Few transportation brands are as woven into the American travel story as Greyhound Lines, Inc..   💡When Flix acquired Greyhound during the pandemic, we saw the opportunity to build on this iconic legacy and bring it into a new era. That meant investing in the fleet, improving the travel and booking experience, and bringing more comfort, reliability, connectivity, and technology to long-distance bus travel.   Today, we are seeing the results of that work. The customer experience has improved significantly, and we are proud to help more people discover bus travel as an accessible, affordable, and increasingly modern way to move across the country.   🚌The new “America 250 Fleet” features 4 buses wrapped in artwork showcasing beautiful U.S. landscapes under the theme “From Sea to Shining Sea. The fleet will travel across key U.S. regions of the country to connect communities and help more people take part in this year’s national commemorations.   In many parts of the United States, intercity buses remain one of the most important and reliable ways to travel, especially in communities with limited transportation options. They play an essential role in connecting people to places, to each other, and to new opportunities, and that’s something we’re proud to support every day.    🤝Mobility should never be a barrier to participation; it should be what connects people to it. I think this campaign captures that perfectly.  A great initiative by our local team, and a proud moment for Greyhound and Flix.

„Das ist der schönste Tag meines Lebens.“ 😊🎉 Dieser Satz eines Kindes beschreibt den gestrigen Tag wohl am besten. Bei unserem Vielfaltsfest an der Friedberger Warte in Frankfurt kamen Menschen unterschiedlicher Generationen und Herkünften zusammen, um Vielfalt gemeinsam sichtbar zu machen. Das sonnige Wetter, viele Gespräche zu gesellschaftlichen Themen, kreative Mitmachaktionen und Angebote für Kinder sorgten für eine offene und lebendige Atmosphäre. Vielen Dank an alle, die dabei waren und mit ihrem Besuch die Arbeit unserer Stiftung Schwarz-Rot-Bunt unterstützt haben. Besonderer Dank an Jannis Plastargias Parwiz Rahimi Yandé Seck Best Western Premier IB Hotel Friedberger Warte PAREA gGmbH Flix Shorin Ryu Shubukan Makista E.V.

FlixTrain is coming home to Munich! 💚   🚆From 2028, we will connect Munich to our train network with our brand-new high-speed trains.    Munich is where it all started for Flix in 2013, with the first bus connecting to Nuremberg. It was the starting point of what has led to FlixBus operating in 45 countries on 4 continents.    Now we are bringing our brand new trains to Munich, connecting it with the rest of Germany. This feels like a full-circle closing. And at the same time, it is kicking off a new, even more ambitious chapter for us.    ⚡️We are investing in 65 new electric trainsets to bring on the German rails from 2028.   With our new trains, we want to make rail travel even more attractive: It will be fast, comfortable, accessible, and affordable.    🚄The new fleet will offer barrier-free boarding, modern passenger information systems, high-performance WiFi, and an improved seating concept.   💡The new locomotives will be built by Siemens, just a few S-bahn stations away from our Munich office, and I am proud that we help develop the Bavarian economy and foster more growth and jobs in this innovative region.    A big thank you to everyone who has helped make this next step possible. We are excited to kick off a new era of long-distance transport and bring more competition, more choice, and more comfort and affordability to the rails.    Munich, see you on board from 2028. And stay tuned for more updates soon!   As a bonus – a picture of Bavarian Minister of Transport Christian Bernreiter and me with our new green locomotive, which we named “Bayern.” 

How do we build a company where every employee can use AI to work smarter, move faster, and solve problems more creatively?   🤖It's hard to deny that AI is rapidly changing the way almost every company is working today. And I believe we are only at the beginning of this transformation.   📈At Flix, AI and machine learning have been part of our business and technology journey for years already. We have used it across areas such as network planning, demand forecasting, customer service, and operations to help make smarter decisions and build a better travel experience.   But I also think that the potential of AI is much bigger than this.   💡Last week, we gave every Flixie access to Claude Code and hosted our first large-scale internal AI Day. Around 900 Flixies across 35 countries joined workshops, hands-on sessions with our more experienced techies guiding them, and learning formats to start experimenting with AI directly in their day-to-day work.   The goal was very clear. We want to build an AI-fluent company where using AI becomes a natural part of how we operate and innovate. Everyone should develop a mindset of first thinking about how AI can solve their challenges.   And I have to say it was a massive success! 🌱The energy during the day showed just how much potential there is. In only one day, teams across Flix created more than 70 mini-apps and functional ideas. Many of them focused on improving internal processes, social activities, automation, productivity, and customer experience.   Companies that successfully integrate AI across the entire organization will have a major advantage in speed, efficiency, and innovation in the years ahead. And Flix will become one of those winning companies. 🙏A big thank you to everyone who organized the day and helped make it happen. Seeing so many people actively building, coding, and experimenting with AI was incredibly exciting.

✈️🚌Airport shuttle services is becoming more and more important. Not only for us as a company, but for many travellers too. It is an easy, reliable, and affordable way to connect the airport to the cities, and for us, it's a great way to further expand our own business with new offerings. 📈Flix recently acquired a majority stake in flibco.com, and I had the opportunity to take the Flibco bus connecting Stansted airport with London last week. All went smoothly, and as you can see, the buses were filled up quite nicely. 🤝I also used this as an opportunity to visit and have good discussions with the ground team about the current situation to better understand our passengers and their needs, as well as the competitive landscape here, and our plans to win. And we do have big plans in place, a new line is kicking off today and we have a whole new fleet of buses ready to go and bring passengers to and from the airports the smartest way possible today.   💡We believe airport shuttle lines will play an integral role in people's travel choices now and in the future, and that is why we are doubling down on it together with Flibco.   Stay tuned, and check out if Flibco can make your airport travel as good as mine was on this trip! 

🇬🇧🚌 FlixBus UK turns 5!   When we first launched in the UK back in April 2021 in the middle of the pandemic, we came in with big ambitions and the clear goal to become market leaders. 🚀   We knew the competition was strong and well-established, but we also believed we could bring something new to customers with our tech-driven, customer-first model.   And year after year, we’ve reached some important milestones: 📍 2022 – Launch of a dedicated Scotland network, despite increasing competition 📈 2023 – More than 2 million passengers traveled with FlixBus in the UK ⚡ 2024 – First-ever electric coach service between England and Wales + becoming the number 2 player 🤝 2025 – Partnerships with nationwide operators and more than doubling our network   Today, five years later, we are connecting 100+ destinations across the UK together with 20 local partners. 🗺️ But we are not stopping there. We are also increasing our airport shuttle services, as we double down on enabling travellers everywhere in the UK. Together with flibco.com, we have big plans to ensure a successful expansion of this area, with more to follow on this soon.   During my visit, I also had the great opportunity to be a part of the celebration where our local team hosted a special anniversary event with journalists, partners, and industry representatives.   💚We are really excited for the coming years in the UK. We are on our way to achieving our ambition of becoming a market leader, and with this team and our plans in place, I’m confident we will get there.
