Rome2Rio worldwide transport website
This item appears on page 76 of the November 2014 issue.
A new website, Rome2Rio (www.rome2rio.com), shows travelers various options on how to get from one place to another in the Americas, Europe and Asia, often using combinations of trains, buses, ferries, cars and taxis.
Example — on a route from Munich, Germany, to Düsseldorf, trains, bus companies and rideshare companies were suggested. Each option listed the mode of transport, the total time it would take and an estimated cost. The fastest shown, a 4-hour flight, cost $101-$196. The cheapest, a 5½-hour rideshare, cost $45.
