Review summary

Rome2Rio is praised for offering detailed multi-modal travel routes worldwide, including obscure places, with price and time estimates. It helps users plan efficient trips with multiple transport modes and has detailed onward travel info. However, users report inaccurate routes, lack multi-stop planning compared to earlier versions, unreliable ticket booking redirect, and occasional outdated transit schedules and prices. Interface issues like difficulty clearing searches are also mentioned. Overall, it remains a valuable trip planner but has notable areas for improvement.

  • Helps plan trips with multiple transportation options (bus, train, plane, taxi, walking) effectively.
  • Includes approximate price estimates and allows filtering by date and time for trip planning.
  • Offers detailed onward travel info, including walking directions between stations and stations mapping.

Cons
  • Some users report inaccurate route suggestions leading to inefficient travel times.
  • The app lacks the ability to plan multi-stop or multi-destination trips, reduced from earlier versions.
  • Booking process often redirects to browsers and sometimes fails to find flights or offers non-existent routes.
  • The app sometimes provides incorrect or outdated public transport schedules and prices, especially for buses and connecting routes.
  • User interface lacks features such as clearing search history and improving destination input handling.

I've used Rome2Rio since they were just a webpage, the app is excellent. I use it everywhere, was amazing when we travelled Italy for 3 weeks.

Such quick and useful information for all locations, even quite obscure ones. I always recommend this site for travellers.

Premature launch. Testing. Entered a destination ~30mins away. R2Rio takes me 1hr south, then U-turns, goes 1.5 hrs north. 2.5 hrs for a 30min trip! If I was a dumb tourist I might think it was the only way. I tried another destination, same thing. Does it only use freeways? You need a 👍🏽👎🏽 for feedback, to suggest best route. +can't clear searches. I was popping in random locations to test out app. Per R2Rio FAQ, click on 3dots, on X? Nope, neither exist. This app isn't ready for launch.

Completely useless. What's the point of having an app that ends up opening a browser for ticket booking and on top of that finds nothing (flights otherwise available even on Priceline)... And in other cases this dumb app directed me to tiny local/rural airports for international flights (that naturally don't even operate there) Not sure what this app is even for besides highly inaccurate and non-existent "information"

Making Travel With Autism Possible - Not having traveled much in 3 decades, and finding a post 9/11 travel world to be openly hostile to those with different needs, this app has been a lifesaver. It reduces 90% of the stressful decision-making and research of how to get from point A to B by first sorting out most people's main concern - economy. Once the user chooses the method of travel, the details of each journey element can be accessed in deeper layers of detail. So grateful for this app!

Route information given by app doesn't give the optimum route possible. On one test, the most efficient and direct route wasn't even one of the options available. The problem is that the app may actually be trying to be too precise, rather than look at a general location in the area, that general location would have probably resulted in the optimum route, but because it was too precise, a less optimum route was shown. I don't think I would rely on this app to actually get to a destination.

I've used this app to help plan my travels in Uruguay & Brazil. Nearly every journey has been wrong, either buses that don't exist, always incorrect durations (add an hour or two if you are planning connecting buses). I have found so many better options when I have gone to the bus terminals, with direct routes, destinations and alternative bus companies not shown on the app. The app does however, give you a good indication of routes that are available.

A wonderful app! After getting bamboozled by disconnected train schedules and prices for a trip across Europe (and nearly giving up to hand it all over to a travel agent) I found Rome2Rio. The big advantage is it enables you to find the best connections between destinations, whether by plane, train or bus. If you are planning any kind of non-standard travel i.e.not just a city to city hopover, YOU NEED THIS APP. (I have seen the negative reviews. but have had no such problems)
