In their own words
Rome2Rio
Rome2Rio searches routes between places around the world and compares door-to-door ways to travel from A to B. Results include transport types, journey times, distances, fare estimates, and operator names, with filters for price, speed, or mode. Options include trains, buses, flights, trams, ferries, taxis, self-drive, walking, shuttles, and towncars. Rome2Rio says it covers more than 240 countries and territories, 10 million locations, and 20,000 transport operators. The service is free, with unlimited searches, and is available on web, Android, and iOS. Account holders can save and organize multi-stop trips, compare travel modes between legs, and access saved trips across devices; Trip Planner works on desktop and mobile web. Rome2Rio does not sell tickets directly: it sends users to ticketing partners to complete bookings. Changes, cancellations, and refunds must be handled with the ticketing partner. Fare estimates can change with availability and seasonality, and some journeys show a range rather than an exact price. Hotel results also transfer users to booking partners.
