Flix SE, a global mobility technology company and leader in affordable and sustainable travel, announces the start of its operations in Mexico. Considered the third-largest bus market in the world, the country represents a strategic opportunity for FlixBus, which bets on its innovative model to transform the sector. The first trips are scheduled for May 27.
“We are very excited to expand our presence in Latin America. After successful launches in Brazil and Chile, Mexico becomes the third country in the region to have the FlixBus brand on routes operated by local partners. In partnership with these companies, we will transform the travel experience, offering a more digitized and economical alternative,” says André Schwämmlein, CEO and Co-founder of Flix SE.
Present in over 40 countries across four continents, FlixBus has been consolidating a scalable business model that combines technology and market intelligence to generate value for both passengers and its operator partners.
Initial network connects six cities in five Mexican states
Starting May 27, the FlixBus commercial network in Mexico will cover five states, connecting the cities of Mexico City, Monterrey, Torreón, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Matehuala. All locations will have direct connections between them, with Monterrey standing out as it already integrates into FlixBus’s North American network through Greyhound. With this expansion, Mexican passengers will have access to a wide network of destinations, with over 1,600 options in the United States and Canada, thanks to the integration enabled by FlixBus’s technology and its local partnerships.
Operations in Mexico will be carried out in partnership with three local companies, following the local partnership-based model without its own fleet, which has driven its rapid expansion in markets such as Europe, North America, India, Brazil, and Chile. The arrival in Mexico marks another important step in the company’s mission to make mobility accessible, smart, and sustainable on a global scale.
