Get ready for a travel revolution on the Canberra-Sydney route as European transport disruptor FlixBus makes its grand entrance into the Australian capital. The German-based mobility provider is turning heads with an incredibly competitive introductory fare of just $9.99 for trips between the two cities.
The new service promises to shake up the transport landscape, directly challenging established players like Greyhound Australia. With multiple daily departures from key locations including Canberra City, Canberra Airport, and Sydney Central Station, FlixBus is positioning itself as the smart choice for budget-conscious travellers.
Modern Comfort Meets Affordable Travel
FlixBus isn't just competing on price alone. The company is bringing its signature European-standard amenities to Australian roads, featuring:
- Free Wi-Fi to keep passengers connected throughout their journey
- Power outlets at every seat for device charging
- Complimentary luggage allowance that meets most travellers' needs
- Modern, eco-friendly fleet with enhanced comfort features
Andreas Schorhammer, Managing Director of FlixBus Australia, emphasised the company's commitment to affordable mobility. "We're thrilled to connect Canberra and Sydney with our low-cost, high-comfort services," he stated.
A Growing Australian Footprint
This expansion represents another strategic move in FlixBus's Australian growth strategy. Having already established services across the eastern states, the Canberra-Sydney route fills a crucial gap in their network.
The timing couldn't be better for travellers feeling the pinch of rising living costs. With petrol prices and other travel expenses climbing, the $9.99 fare offers significant savings compared to driving costs or other public transport options.
Early bird travellers can snap up these introductory prices through the FlixBus website or mobile app, with services now operating daily. This new competition is set to benefit consumers through better prices and improved service quality across the board.
