• Sustainability through reach: Flix’s network spans small towns with no rail access in more than 40 countries — actively reducing car dependency where it matters most.
• Today, Flix has released its fourth voluntary sustainability report, depicting its ESG efforts across the year. Thus, it reaffirms its commitment to transparency and continuous improvement
.Munich, April 22nd, 2026 – In 2025, Flix passengers around the world avoided an estimated 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ only by choosing coaches over driving or flying, based on modeled scenarios comparing alternative travel modes.[1] As car costs rise and airfares climb, travel by coach emerges not just as an affordable option, but also as an empowering one.

In practice, a FlixBus ride from Berlin to Rome is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 84% versus the private car, performing nearly as well as intercity rail. Compared to domestic flights on any selected route, the expected saving per person is even higher — up to 10 times less CO2 emitted per km. (....)
