Partnering up with small and medium-sized regional bus companies, which together cover an extensive route network, and offering user-friendly services such as the FlixBus App, e-ticketing system, free Wi-Fi on board and GPS live tracking, travellers get a sustainable, convenient and price competitive alternative to private transport.
From the new headquarters in Copenhagen, FlixBus will cooperate with small and medium-sized private Danish coach companies to offer medium and long distance passenger transportation by coach under the brand name FlixBus.
”We will start by connecting Denmark’s large cities. Within a year we will cover a larger number of cities, and looking a little further ahead we will also stop in many small towns”, says Max Zeumer, Vice President for International Business at FlixBus.
