FlixBus Canada experienced a significant 128% increase in ridership during the 2024 winter holiday season, as more travelers turned to intercity buses for affordable and reliable transportation.
This surge reflects a growing trend of opting for buses as a cost-effective and stress-free way to visit family, explore new destinations, and take spontaneous trips, especially amid rising airfare costs and unpredictable winter travel conditions.
“Intercity bus travel is not only rebounding but thriving in Canada,” said Kai Boysan, CEO of Flix North America. “More people are realizing that buses offer a convenient, affordable, and sustainable option for long-distance travel. This remarkable growth highlights the value we bring to our bus partners and our shared commitment to providing high-quality service.”
Flix North America, which includes FlixBus and Greyhound, is a leading provider of long-distance bus services in North America. A subsidiary of Germany-based Flix SE, the company operates in over 40 countries, serving 1,600 destinations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and carrying more than 12 million passengers annually.
