Andre Schwammlein once wanted to be a pilot – but ended up behind the wheel of a bus and train company instead.
The chief executive and co-founder of Flix – the driving force behind Flixbus and Flixtrain - says he was never much of a traveller, but now leads a company that has changed the way millions of people cross countries and continents.
In just 10 years, Flixbus has gone from German startup to global brand - even taking a piece of American heritage: Greyhound.
In this edition of Business Daily, Theo Leggett finds out how the transport entrepreneur got started, the reasons behind the company’s success, and his plans for growth.
