Rome2Rio will choose the route by plane or train

On the Internet sites abound to assist travelers in planning and organizing the route. However, even a cursory glance at the service Rome2Rio It makes it clear that we face something interesting.

Rome2Rio It is based on Google Maps and use of trains and airlines' timetables data worldwide. Immediately after the download site you will be asked to indicate the start and end point of the route. Then, after some hesitation service will present you with options of routes on the map.

As you can see, Rome2Rio understands Russian. I for example, the service offered to show me how to get from Odessa to the city of Paris :). In response, I was offered a full five main routes of options, both direct and transfers. For example, as it turned out, it is possible to fly directly from Odessa, or for trains to Kiev and Chisinau, and from there by plane. Also offered to fly to Brussels and then a train to go to Paris.

When you hover the mouse pointer over one of the route options pop-up window with more information about the flight.

Here we see different variations of flight data, including the names of airlines, takeoff and landing times, stopovers and more. And in order not to drown in this flow of information, you can click Show prices and then the service will ask for the date of departure, number of passengers and class, and then displays the fares for each route. When clearly shows the cost of each option, the decision to take a lot easier.

The founders of the service, and the two former members of the Microsoft, hope that their site be interested in aviation and transportation companies and they monetize it through advertising and commission on tickets sold. In any case, in spite of the set-top box betaThe project was very interesting and worthy of a place in the tabs of all travelers.
