Why travel with FlixBus?

More places to go, less fuss getting there. FlixBus gives you an affordable and convenient way to travel across India and beyond, with comfortable buses, useful onboard extras and digital tools that keep your journey close at hand.

Why choose FlixBus?

Affordable travel

More of your budget for the destination? Sounds good to us. FlixBus is designed to make long-distance travel affordable, with dynamic fares that give you the chance to find a price that works for your plans.

If keeping costs down is high on your list, booking ahead and checking the latest offers can help too. Promotions are offered periodically, so keep an eye on the FlixBus app and website for current deals.

Extensive connections

Near, far and quite a bit further. Flix connects more than 8,000 destinations across over 40 countries, giving you plenty of options when it’s time to decide where’s next.

Closer to home, the Indian FlixBus network now covers more than 400 domestic destinations. Whether you’re planning a city getaway, visiting friends, or reuniting with family, explore FlixBus destinations across India.

Comfortable journeys

Settle in. FlixBus services in India offer extra legroom, power outlets, and air conditioning. Our hosts and drivers are on hand to help along the way.

You can find more about what’s waiting for you when you board in the guide to FlixBus onboard services.

You can also track FlixBus services live, so checking where your bus is doesn’t need to become a guessing game.

Flix Lounges

Got time before your bus? Wait it out at a Flix Lounge. Buy your ticket, get help from our friendly staff, and relax with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, washrooms, and refreshments. Find the Flix Lounge locations here.

Affordable fares and great value

Spending less on getting there means more to spend once you arrive.

FlixBus combines affordable fares with useful extras already included in your journey. On India services, that means your standard luggage allowance, air conditioning, and a host on board are part of the experience.

Fares are dynamic, so the amount you pay can depend on factors such as demand and how far ahead you book. If your plans have some wiggle room, comparing dates and departure times can help too.

Travel to more places

There’s a lot of world out there. Good thing we’ve got plenty of stops.

That means you can use FlixBus for everything from trips between major Indian cities to journeys to more remote towns. Major hubs include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, and Chandigarh. Want to explore further? FlixBus is also a great way to discover the world, with over 8,000 destinations across Europe, North and South America, and Australia.

What to expect on board

A bus journey is still a journey. We just think it should be one where you can settle in, relax and arrive ready for whatever comes next.

You can explore the full range of services available on board FlixBus before you travel.

Seating and comfort

Take your seat and make yourself comfortable. FlixBus AC buses are designed for long-distance travel, with comfortable seating, adjustable backrests and extra leg space. Want to sit with your friends or family? Choose your seat while you book. It's free for selected seats on trips within India. Women travelling solo get extra peace of mind, as the seat next to them is automatically reserved for another woman, and some routes offer sleeper seats. Learn more about seat reservations.

Wi-Fi and charging

Running out of battery halfway there? Not ideal.

UK FlixBus services include free Wi-Fi and USB charging, making it easier to keep your phone going and stay connected during your journey.

Wi-Fi is a mobile connection, so performance can be affected by network coverage along the route.

Toilets and onboard facilities

All FlixBus coaches include onboard toilet facilities, particularly handy when your journey is more marathon than sprint.

You’ll also have space for your included luggage, while additional or special luggage can be booked where available.

Bring your luggage

Weekend bag, suitcase, backpack containing far too many “just in case” outfits - there’s room.

For journeys within India, your FlixBus ticket includes one small soft bag or backpack up to 7kg and one piece of checked luggage up to 20kg. Your smaller bag stays with you, while checked luggage travels in the luggage compartment.

Need to bring something extra? Additional and special luggage can be added on eligible journeys, subject to available space and the relevant fee.

Manage your journey with the FlixBus app

Your phone already comes everywhere with you. Your journey might as well live there too.

The FlixBus app helps keep the essentials together before and during your trip.

Book and access tickets

Search for your journey, book your bus, and keep your digital ticket on your phone. No printer required, and no last-minute hunt through your bag for a paper ticket. 

Manage your booking

Plans changed? You can access your journey details and manage eligible bookings digitally.

For the latest rules around making changes, check the guidance on changing or cancelling a FlixBus booking.

Track your bus and receive updates

Wondering where your bus has got to? Check instead of guessing.

Live journey tracking is available across India FlixBus services through the app and the online FlixBus Trip Tracker, with the app the recommended place to follow your trip while you’re travelling.

Overnight bus travel

Our sleeper and semi-sleeper buses are built for comfort, with fewer stops and convenient departure times, so you arrive refreshed the next morning. Depending on your route, you can choose from sleeper buses with spacious beds, semi-sleeper buses with reclining seats and plenty of legroom, or seats with extra legroom. All our overnight buses are air-conditioned and come with personal lighting, charging points, and other onboard services for a smooth night's journey. Booking a sleeper bus is easy. Enter your departure and destination cities in the search box above, pick your travel date, and look for the sleeper bus label.

Your Safety, Our Priority

Your safety comes first. Every FlixBus in India goes through 15+ pre-departure checks and comes with driver-assistance technology, dashcams, and an in-bus SOS button. Our drivers and hosts are background-verified and trained, and all buses are capped at 80 km/h. You can track your bus live, and our support team is available 24/7. Solo women travellers are always seated next to another woman. Find out more about safety at FlixBus.
