FlixBus: Book Bus Tickets 9.87.0: what changed
The latest build’s notes point to performance improvements. FlixBus also puts route searches, bookings, mobile tickets and trip tracking in one place for bus journeys across the US.
What changed
- 01Performance improvements for travel
The notes describe performance improvements, a practical focus for an app used to search routes, compare fares and manage journeys. FlixBus lists booking, mobile tickets and real-time bus tracking among its core tools. This build’s notes frame the change around app performance, so it is worth installing for the app’s everyday travel tasks.
- 02Book a seat for your route
For a trip such as New York to Boston or Houston to Dallas, the app lets you compare routes and prices before choosing a bus. The description says every booking has a reserved seat, with optional seat selection. Payment options listed include Google Pay and card, and the app provides a mobile ticket after booking.
- 03Keep your ticket on your phone
A mobile ticket can keep your boarding information available in the app instead of requiring a paper ticket. FlixBus says its mobile boarding option uses a QR code that can be shown even offline. That can be useful when you are heading to the bus or do not have an internet connection at the stop.
