Europe is seeing a resurgence of rail as nations keep investing in train systems and tourists seek for more environmentally friendly, flight-free options. However, even if demand for vacations is rising, getting around Europe’s intricate and disjointed train systems has proven difficult.
Byway, an expert in leisurely travel, intends to change that with a new interactive mapping application. In addition to helping travelers plan and book flights-free travel, the platform now provides a graphic journey planner that clearly and easily illustrates rail routes and connections.
Even in the 1980s, when international train travel was much simpler and less dispersed than today, the travel industry has long viewed it as a dark art, according to Mark Smith, the creator of the well-known online rail travel guide Man in Seat 61.
It has always been expensive to plan vacations by rail rather than by plane because it takes a large crew to handle all the planning. By simplifying the planning and booking process, Byway’s new tool aims to change that by enabling travellers to construct and price their itineraries in a single location.
Smith claims their new map interface is a daring attempt to enable travelers to achieve this independently. Additionally, people appear to enjoy it as a new generation of people who expect to accomplish everything online and are growing hesitant to answer the phone.
