European travel company FlixBus has landed in Australia, shaking up the long-distance bus scene by offering a more affordable and greener travel option to get you from A to B, just in time for the end-of-year holidays.
FlixBus is making its Aussie debut.
Known for its lime-green buses, FlixBus operates over 400,000 routes to more than 8,000 destinations in over 40 countries. German travel company FlixBus is taking to Australian roads.
