FlixBus US Bus Guide & FAQs

Yes, FlixBus US offers WiFi on their buses. Although most trips with FlixBus US will have WiFi as advertised, some buses might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. FlixBus US WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.

Most FlixBus US buses have between 50 and 55 passenger seats. Sometimes, depending on the route, FlixBus US may run a trip using a bus from a partnering bus company’s fleet, so the capacity will vary from partner to partner.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard FlixBus US buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since FlixBus US might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.

On a typical day, FlixBus US has 25609 scheduled bus trips in total. However, the exact departure and arrival times vary depending on the day and route. The best way to find the exact schedule for your trip is to use the search tool on this page.

If the bus has a bike carrier, you can simply add a bike to your booking during checkout. If the bus doesn’t have a bike carrier, you can add one “special baggage” item upon checkout and this will allow your bike to be transported in a bicycle bag with other baggage under the bus.

If you do not have an ID, please contact FlixBus US directly to ask about alternative boarding options.

FlixBus US goes the extra distance to deliver premium features to its customers.

Do you find yourself squished in a regular seat or just love having extra room to sprawl out? Well you’re in luck as FlixBus US offers extra legroom seating. Since there is no standard of what extra legroom is, the extra space you get may vary between bus lines, but getting extra is always good.
