FlixBus also piloted America’s first ever electric buses on a long-distance line between San Francisco and Sacramento and plans to introduce these buses into its fleet by 2021.”
“FlixBus was launched in Germany in 2013 and after expanding to 28 countries across Europe, began service in the US in May 2018. Today, FlixBus serves nearly 100 destinations across the United States with networks in the Southwest, South, Northeast and now Pacific Northwest. In 2020, FlixBus will expand to Latin America and Asia. A full route map can be found here.” Read more
