For now, everything remains the same. FlixBus and Greyhound will continue to operate independently from each other. Tickets for travel on FlixBus can be purchased from FlixBus and tickets for travel on Greyhound can be purchased from Greyhound. When you are ready to board, you will still see the familiar FlixBus and Greyhound buses at your stop.
FlixBus acquired Greyhound
Flix SE acquired Greyhound Lines Inc. on October 21, 2021. Having already been present on the North American market with its FlixBus services since 2018, the purchase of Greyhound brought together two leaders in the intercity bus industry, combining FlixBus’ innovative global technology and shared mobility expertise with Greyhound’s iconic nationwide presence and experience. In July 2022, Flix SE announced the introduction of Flix North America, Inc. (“Flix North America”). This Dallas-based entity oversees operations for both Greyhound and FlixBus across North America.
Together, FlixBus, Greyhound and their partners continue to offer a smart, green, and connected World Class intercity bus experience, providing the best affordable option for even more people traveling throughout the United States.
