The German mobility group Flix was able to transport more passengers than ever before in the period from April 1 to September 30, 2022. In Germany, the nine-euro ticket, which was offered between June and August 2022, is likely to have put a damper on demand, because it was not valid on either Flixbus or Flixtrain.

In addition to these two brands, the group is also active as Greyhound in North America and as Kamil Koc in Turkey. According to a statement from the parent company Flix SE, 2022 million passengers were transported across the group between April and the end of September 34. In a direct comparison with the same period of the previous year, this should correspond to an increase of 130 percent. This also exceeded the numbers that could be achieved before the corona pandemic. Now you want to push the expansion again. Most recently, after the Corona thirst years of 2020 and 2021, they were able to write black numbers again.

"Flix is ​​stronger today than ever. This shows that our approach of sustainably and carefully rebuilding the network has paid off. We are sticking to the strategy of helping to shape the mobility of the future in a profitable and sustainable way. The expansion into Brazil, the USA, Canada, Portugal and the Baltic States during the pandemic was an important and successful step towards our vision of offering affordable and sustainable mobility for all people around the world André Schwämmlein.

According to the manager, the Germany-Austria-Switzerland region was also profitable on the roads and rails. Schwämmlein: "I am particularly pleased that we were also able to operate profitably in our home market of Germany and in the entire DACH region, even though we faced major challenges there in the summer, such as the 9-euro ticket. This shows that long-distance buses are an essential building block for sustainable mobility and will remain so in the future.”
