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 digitalized and cost-effective alternative," says André Schwämmlein, CEO and Co-founder of Flix SE.
Present in more than 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 partner operators.
Initial network connects six cities across five Mexican states
Starting from May 27th, the commercial network operated by FlixBus 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 particular emphasis on Monterrey, which already integrates into the North American network of FlixBus 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 promoted by FlixBus's technology and its local partnerships.
Operations in Mexico will be carried out in partnership with three local companies, following the model based on local partnerships, 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, intelligent, and sustainable on a global scale.
