But will I get a seat with a good view of Jupiter?
Looks good, but charges a standard 10% booking fee which seems very steep imo. But I’m a cheap ass…
10% is outrageous, especially considering the price of some trains in Europe.
So am I 🙂 for many of the similar services for plane tickets I still use them, since they’re so much more convenient than booking yourself, and sometimes have access to better priced tickets than I do so it evens out.
This is a beta, so we’ll see where it ends up going i guess.
I’d likely just check them out and compare myself, but if i’m far from home i’d be also much more willing to spend on the accessibility of information.
That’s ridiculous!
Saw this announced on Mastodon and figured it would be of interest to everyone here - at least if you’ve ever tried to book train tickets to go across the continent and discovered how complicated it is!
Unfortunately, Google Maps is still way better for this purpose. It finds metro, shows pedestrian maps for changes, links to official ticket sellers… Even prices are calculated in some places.
It’s really well designed. I’ve tried with local french trains, and it worked well! Thank you :)
No problem, I hope they succeed - cheaper and easier to use trains in Europe would be wonderful.
