DALLAS, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flix North America Inc., the Dallas-based entity overseeing operations for both Greyhound and FlixBus across North America, today announced the co-integration of both brand's booking platform enabling a shared, extended intercity bus network from which customers can more easily search, book and travel throughout North America.
