FlixBus's entry into the Sete Rios bus terminal in Lisbon has been postponed to the 29th, after a new controversy involving the German company and Rede Expressos. The operation was initially scheduled to start earlier, but the process has been facing several delays and misunderstandings between the two companies.
According to Rede Expressos, which manages the Sete Rios terminal, it was FlixBus itself that requested the postponement of the start of operations. The German carrier allegedly requested this date change to resolve logistical or operational issues related to its entry into the terminal.
However, FlixBus categorically denies this version of events. The German company states it was not the one that requested the postponement, thus contradicting the version presented by Rede Expressos regarding what caused the delay.
This new episode comes in the context of a broader dispute between the two companies over access to the Sete Rios terminal, which is one of the main bus departure points in Lisbon. Tension between Rede Expressos and FlixBus has been escalating, with both parties exchanging public accusations about the conditions of access and operation at the terminal.
