Moneytrans was the only offline way to buy Flixbus tickets without getting hit with commissions. Now #Moneytrans is gone, at least in Brussels. Every Moneytrans shop in Brussels is closed. Anyone know what happened? I find no news on this and the moneytrans.eu website is access-restricted.
There is apparently no #Flixbus office anywhere in Belgium.
For a €5 ticket, travel agents charge €5 in commission. Indeed, the commission is 100% the cost of the trip in those cases. Fuck me. All unbanked people seem to be fucked by this.
Or am I missing something? Did anyone take over the commission-free Flixbus contract from Moneytrans?
Assuming your offline requirement is not absolute, it seems that Wero is the future fix for the American payments cartel.
I appreciate the tip but I guess that is useless for Flixbus. Flixbus says they only accept credit card, paypal, google pay or apple pay… Nothing I would go near.
It’s unacceptable, I agree. Well done for sticking to your principles.
You can buy tickets from the bus driver, but they do not have discounts.
