Court rejects FlixBus's summons for access to Sete Rios Terminal

The Central Administrative Court of the South revoked a previous ruling granting FlixBus immediate access to Sete Rios Terminal, deeming the legal process used inappropriate. This decision followed an appeal by Rede Nacional de Expressos (RNE), which manages the terminal. The court stated that FlixBus should pursue its claims through a common administrative action instead. RNE emphasized its commitment to fair access for all operators while adhering to operational and safety conditions. The ongoing dispute between FlixBus and RNE has lasted three years, with FlixBus currently operating only a fraction of its requested schedules. A new legal framework for bus terminals was recently approved to ensure equitable access for operators.
