New FlixBus Service Offers Green Options For Environment-Friendly Travelers

LAKELAND, FL — FlixBus, a New York-based intercity bus service, is adding a new destination to its Florida intercity bus network this week with the start of service to Lakeland on Thursday, March 30.

Lakeland is a new stop along two major lines on FlixBus’ Florida network including Tampa-Orlando and Tampa-Miami with service running seven days per week. Tampa-Orlando trips run express in each direction with a stop in Lakeland, while Tampa-Miami trips include stops in Lakeland with multiple connections in the Miami metro area, including Miami Golden Glades, Miami Intermodal Center, downtown Miami and Miami Beach.

Tickets start at $14.99 for Lakeland-Orlando trips and $36.99 for Lakeland-Miami trips.

With spring travel season kicking off, customers can now book travel with FlixBus and Greyhound on either brands’ websites and apps and benefit from an extended network reaching more than 2,300 destinations across North America.

FlixBus specializes in direct, point-to-point intercity travel, while Greyhound riders can access the company’s entire extended network throughout the U.S. during the booking process.

Tickets are now available at FlixBus.com, Greyhound.com or through the Greyhound or FlixBus apps.

In addition to providing convenient, affordable bus service throughout the United States and
Canada, FlixBus and Greyhound riders can reduce their environmental impact through optional
carbon offset credits:

FlixBus has collaborated with atmosfair to offer customers the option to travel climate-friendly on their FlixBus or Greyhound journey. Customers can purchase “CO2 Compensation” tickets during booking, thereby making a voluntary environmental contribution.

• The optional cost of traveling green will be added to customers' ticket prices, approximately
• 1 to 3 percent of the original ticket price.
• 75 percent of climate contribution donations in the United States and Canada are invested in
• atmosfair’s UN-accredited Gold Standard Climate Protection Project Cleaner Cook Stoves in Rwanda.
• The remaining 25 percent flows into the “Future of Mobility Fund," set up together by Flix and
• atmosfair to drive sustainable mobility and decarbonization in the cities and communities where they operate. These donations help to take emerging carbon-neutral technologies out of the lab and onto the road for real impact.
• Customers will also support local communities, NGOs and volunteer groups to make eco-friendly living choices accessible to everyone.
