There are many issues to consider and resolve when preparing for a trip. Where to stay? What sights to visit? And, of course, how to get to your destination and what transport to choose to get around the area?
Today, you can choose from many transportation options, including airplane, bus, train, taxi, or hire car. Everyone will prefer their own suitable way to travel, but the most important thing is to organize it correctly to avoid problems during the trip. Fortunately, you can now use your smartphone to see all the available transport options. All you need to do is install the appropriate applications on it.
What are these applications? Find them in the following list:
Rome2Rio

Omio is an aggregator and doesn’t sell anything itself, but uses the official websites of transport companies to display their prices in one place. Thus, this application makes it possible to buy tickets without extra charges.

Rail Planner
If you have to travel by train, Rail Planner will come in handy. It offers detailed train timetables in over 40 countries in Europe and the UK. The main advantage of the program is that it works offline, thanks to which the search for the necessary trains and other useful data are available to you at any moment.
The developers, of course, warn that you should always clarify the information at the station bureaus. However, frequent updates of the program allow you to rely on up-to-date information anyway. Therefore, download it to make getting around the train easier.

The service finds the most affordable options for the specified route and compares offers from more than a thousand airlines. In addition, there’s a large selection of international currencies to display ticket prices.
The app will help you to book your ticket as well. For this, it will redirect you to the airline’s official website, where you can purchase it at the proposed price. That is, you won’t have to pay any additional fees for the operation of the service.
Uber
We all need a taxi sometimes, even if you hire a car on a trip. Uber is a taxi service operating all over the world. You can just download the Uber app so you don’t have to look for a taxi number in every new city.
The application works as an intermediary between taxi drivers and passengers. Locals register as drivers and receive a salary, while travellers use their services.
