Three new international bus connections for Bruges
From Monday 14 April 2025 onwards, FlixBus will organise daily bus connections to Eindhoven (the Netherlands). The new connection will be operated with an eco-friendly bus. As from the summer holidays, FlixBus plans another new connection to Strasbourg and an additional one to and from Amsterdam.
FlixBus is an international transport company offering affordable and sustainable travel options. The transport company operates in 45 countries across four continents and connects more than 5.500 destinations by train and bus.
Charles Billiard, Flixbus Communication Manager France & Benelux: "The new connections represent a solid expansion of the FlixBus offer to and from Bruges. The city can soon be easily and comfortably reached by bus from no fewer than 51 foreign cities and 9 transport hubs. The new Bruges-Eindhoven connection will also be operated with an environmentally friendly bus running on bio-LNG. Compared to the classic Euro VI diesel bus, this bus produces 90% less particulate matter, at least 15% less CO2 and also less noise. The deployment of this bus is in line with our commitment to promote sustainable travel."
Alderman for tourism Minou Esquenet (she/her): "We are pleased that FlixBus is contributing to put Bruges on the map as an important hub for international passenger traffic by bus. For an increasing number of bus connections, the stop at the station is a departure or terminus. It confirms the station's status as an important gateway to the city. That is why we are investing in a serious upgrade of the station environment and reception infrastructure in this legislature so that we can even better meet the expectations of our guests in the future."
"With the extension of the international bus offer for individual travelers, we kill several birds with one stone: these visitors usually stay one or more nights in our city and by using a collective transport offer, their ecological impact is limited. This offer is not only interesting for visitors, the wide range of FlixBus also offers a comfortable and sustainable alternative to the car for travelling to other cities for residents of Bruges and its surroundings. Tourist development with a positive impact on the local community is one of the priorities on which we are focusing in our tourism policy this legislature."
