FlixBus Reachable Cities API Documentation The cities that FlixBus connects to one city: average and shortest duration in minutes, whether the route needs a transfer, route popularity, transport modes and a price band (min, average, max) per currency. The band is a route statistic, not the fare of a day: use search or calendar for real fares.
