“We are very excited to join the ride with Flix SE and its founders in the future. They have transformed the company into a leading global mobility platform for mid and long-distance travel."
Stefan Dziarski - Partner at Permira

Flix is an asset-light, tech-enabled platform offering low-cost, mid and long-distance travel throughout Europe, Turkey and the United States under the brands FlixBus and FlixTrain.

FlixBus does not typically own any buses, instead partnering with local transport operators who are responsible for the day-to-day running of routes, while the brand concentrates on marketing, pricing, network planning and customer service. This makes the business model highly scalable.

There is an emphasis on sustainability, with customers able to offset their carbon footprint when purchasing a ticket.
