description: 'FlixBus is the long-distance coach brand of Flix SE (formerly FlixMobility),
  a Munich-headquartered mobility provider that also operates FlixTrain in Europe and
  Greyhound in North America. Flix runs an asset-light model: it owns the brand, network
  planning, pricing, distribution and technology while regional bus partners operate
  the vehicles. Its technology surface is split in two. A partner-facing Flix API is
  published through the Flix Developer Portal at developer.api.flixbus.com — a Redocly-based
  catalogue of API references, getting-started guides, changelogs and downloadable Postman
  collections — but the portal is gated behind Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) sign-in and
  the underlying gateway at global.api.flixbus.com rejects anonymous requests, so no
  machine-readable OpenAPI is reachable without a distribution-partner agreement (requested
  via online-distribution@flixbus.com). Publicly and anonymously, Flix does publish schedule
  data as first-party GTFS Schedule feeds for Europe, the United States and Great Britain
  from gtfs.gis.flix.tech, refreshed regularly and licensed ODbL-1.0 through national
  open-data portals.'

  description: 'The partner-facing Flix API, published through the Flix Developer Portal.
    Documentation covers API references, getting-started guides, changelogs and example
    Postman collections for Flix distribution and affiliate partners (search, availability,
    booking and ticketing over JSON/REST). Access is gated: the developer portal requires
    a Microsoft Entra ID sign-in and the API gateway at global.api.flixbus.com returns
    403/401 to anonymous callers, so credentials are issued only under a distribution-partner
    agreement.'

  description: 'First-party GTFS Schedule feeds published by FlixMobility Tech GmbH covering
    the FlixBus and FlixTrain networks. Three anonymous, unauthenticated regional archives
    are served from gtfs.gis.flix.tech — Europe (gtfs_generic_eu.zip), the United States
    (gtfs_generic_us.zip) and Great Britain (gtfs_generic_gb.zip) — each a standard GTFS
    bundle with agency, routes, trips, stops, stop_times, calendar, transfers and shapes.
    The feeds are aggregated by Transitland, the Mobility Database and transport.data.gouv.fr
    under an ODbL-1.0 license.'
