In Europe, FlixMobility plans to extend its current service to enable 350,000 connections per day. The service will focus on cross-border services between tourist destinations in Western and Eastern Europe for the summer period. The company says passengers will benefit from higher frequencies on journeys between Europe’s capital cities such as Paris to London and Warsaw to Berlin.

Riders will be able to use an Interflix pass for €99 to choose five preferred routes from a network regardless of the distance between destinations. In addition, Flix Train routes that are part of the route map can also be booked with the ticket.
