Welcome and scope

City Relay is an independent urban mobility magazine hosted at flix-bus.live that publishes reporting, guides and analysis about city transport, transfer points, interchanges and arrival contexts. These Terms of Use explain what you can expect from our editorial content and what we expect from visitors using this site. This page describes the site’s informational and educational purpose; it does not create a relationship with any transport operator or service provider and does not provide booking, ticketing or official operational information.

Independent editorial purpose

Our reporting, photography and practical explainers are produced by an independent newsroom. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, employed by, or in any way officially connected to any transport operator. In particular, references to any operator — including brand names, routes or services — are for identification or explanatory purposes only and are not endorsements. Readers should treat content as independent analysis and commentary rather than official operator communication.

Accuracy, limits and verification

We strive for accuracy in our coverage, but the information on this site has limits. Schedules, routes, permits, fares, luggage conditions, amenities, on-board facilities, and operator policies change frequently. City Relay does not maintain live operational data. You must verify current, authoritative information directly with the relevant provider before making travel decisions.

For example, for operator-specific information you should consult the operator’s official website. This link is provided so visitors know where to check current operator details; it is not an endorsement, booking prompt or guarantee of the operator’s services. Always confirm schedules, availability, luggage rules and other operational terms with the official operator prior to travel.

Third-party content and links

City Relay sometimes links to third-party sites, documents and data sources. Those links are provided for convenience and context. Third-party sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies; we do not control, verify or endorse their content. Any reliance on linked material is at your own risk.

Examples of third-party information
  • Posted maps, timetables or images from operators or public agencies.
  • Blogs, forums or community resources discussing local transfers and arrival areas.
  • Municipal or regulatory documents that reference permits or operating conditions.

Acceptable use

By using this site you agree to use it only for lawful, non-commercial, editorial or educational purposes. Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to:

  • Attempting to impersonate staff, manipulate content or misrepresent City Relay as an operator or official authority.
  • Using automated scrapers, bots or other tools to extract content for commercial resale or rehosting without permission.
  • Uploading or publishing unlawful, defamatory or abusive material within comments or contributions.
  • Removing attributions or otherwise republishing our content in ways that mislead readers about authorship or source.

Intellectual property

All original editorial content on this site — text, photographs, illustrations and other original material — is protected by copyright and related rights owned or licensed by City Relay. You may read, share short excerpts and link to our pages for non-commercial informational use, provided you keep attributions intact and do not imply City Relay endorses your use. For other uses, including reproduction, commercial reuse or syndication, please contact us via contact.html to request permission.

No ticketing or booking services

City Relay does not sell tickets, manage reservations, process payments or act as an agent for any transport provider. We do not provide live seat availability, fares, ticketing instructions or booking confirmations. Any procedural or transactional claims on this site are illustrative and must be confirmed with the operator before relying on them for travel planning.

Limitation of liability and disclaimers

Our content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, City Relay and its contributors make no warranties — express or implied — about the accuracy, completeness or fitness for purpose of any material on this site. We will not be liable for losses arising from reliance on content here, including missed connections, delays, fines, or additional travel costs resulting from operational changes by transport providers.

Readers should treat City Relay as a source of independent context and analysis, not as a substitute for official operator information or professional advice.

Changes to content and to these terms

We may revise, update or remove content at any time to reflect editorial decisions, corrections or altered circumstances in the city. We may also update these Terms of Use. Material changes will be reflected by the updated text on this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Severability and enforcement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.

No legal or professional advice

Content on City Relay does not constitute legal, regulatory or professional advice. If you require specific legal guidance about permits, liabilities, or transport regulation, seek a qualified professional. We do not provide counsel and cannot advise on how laws or regulations apply in particular circumstances.

Questions about these Terms or requests regarding rights to republish content should be sent through our contact page: contact.html. For background on our mission, editorial standards and team, see about.html. For information on how we handle personal data, consult privacy.html.

Thank you for reading responsibly. City streets and interchanges change rapidly; use our reporting to orient yourself, then verify with operators and authorities before you travel.
