Flix SE, a global mobility technology company and leader in accessible and sustainable travel, announces the start of its operations in Mexico. As the third-largest bus market in the world, the country represents a strategic opportunity for FlixBus, which is betting 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 feature the FlixBus brand on routes operated by local partners. In collaboration with these companies, we will transform the travel experience by offering a more digital 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 create value for both passengers and its operator partners.
Initial network connects six cities in five Mexican states
From May 27, the FlixBus 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 a special focus on Monterrey, which is already part of FlixBus’s North American network through Greyhound. With this expansion, Mexican passengers will have access to a vast network of destinations, with over 1,600 options in the U.S. and Canada, thanks to the integration enabled by FlixBus’s technology and local partnerships.
Operations in Mexico will be carried out in partnership with three local companies, following the asset-light partnership model that 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.
