FlixBus (German pronunciation:['flɪksbʊs]; styled FLiXBUS) is a German brand that offers low-cost intercity bus service in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. It is owned by Flix SE [de], which also operates FlixTrain, FlixCar, Kâmil Koç, and Greyhound Lines. FlixBus operates buses or, in many cases, just handles marketing, pricing, and customer service for a commission, on behalf of bus operators.[1][2][3] In 2023, FlixBus had revenues of €2 billion and carried 81 million passengers of which 55 million were in Europe, 14 million were in Turkey, and 12 million were in North America.[4]
History
FlixBus was founded in 2011 in Munich by Daniel Krauss, Jochen Engert and André Schwämmlein. They had met in university and began discussing the concept in 2009 after plans were made to deregulate the bus industry in Germany.[5]
FlixBus launched its first three routes in February 2013 in Bavaria, Germany, to take advantage of Germany opening up its bus market to competition.[6] In the following years, it added routes across Europe.[7]
FlixBus expanded to the United States in 2018, first operating from Los Angeles,[9] then expanding to the East Coast in 2019 through a partnership with Eastern Bus.[10] FlixBus also launched service in Brazil in 2021,[11]Canada in 2022,[12][13][14]Chile in 2023, and India in 2024.[15]
In April 2022, the company converted from a GmbH structure to an SE structure and was renamed Flix SE.[16]
On 13 November 2024 at the Euro Bus Expo at the National Exhibition Centre, an announcement was made regarding a new partnership between FlixBus and Derbyshire-based bus operator Trentbarton.[17]

Controversies
Working conditions for drivers in Germany
In 2016, FlixBus was accused by a German government agency of forcing its partners to make drivers work excessive hours at low wages.[58]
Use of infrastructure without toll payments in Germany
Unlike train services and trucks, buses do not pay any road toll in Germany; this was criticized as a "hidden subsidy" by some German politicians in the spring of 2015.[59]bdo, an association of German bus companies, responded that buses pay for infrastructure use in the form of related taxes (on fuel, for example) while billions in subsidies are paid to national rail provider Deutsche Bahn.[60]
Dominant market share in Germany
In August 2016, following the acquisition of Postbus, FlixBus had control of roughly 80% of the German long-distance bus market, a move criticised by various media outlets as a de factomonopoly and harmful to competition. It was also suggested at the time that FlixBus' control of the market could lead to higher prices and less service to smaller destinations.[61][62][63]
Buses inaccessible for wheelchair users in California
On 14 May 2020, the Disability Rights Legal Center (DRLC) filed a federal class action lawsuit in a California U.S. District Court against FlixBus and other bus operators alleging that buses were inaccessible for wheelchair users and staff was untrained on how to accommodate wheelchair users.[64]

Law in Physics Main article: Vector addition The parallelogram of forces is a method for solving (or visualizing) the results of applying two forces to an object. Figure 1: Parallelogram construction for adding vectors When more than two forces are involved, the geometry is no longer parallelogrammatic, but the same principles apply. Forces, being vectors are observed to obey the laws of vector addition, and so the overall (resultant) force due to the application of a number of forces can be fou…
