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?
You can buy tickets from the bus driver, but they do not have discounts.
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.
