Flibco.com is a digital platform specialized in passenger transport between cities and airports.
Besides digital solutions for bus transport between airports and cities, Flibco.com has also
developed a software solution called Door2Gate. With the D2G service people are picked up
at home and transported to the airport. The peculiarity of this service is that bookings are
combined independently of each other and therefore you can offer the customer an
"unbeatable" price. The combination takes place here using a specially developed algorithm
and everything therefore runs without manual interaction.
