Transport comparison sites: discover Kombo!

Kombo's French coverage is very comprehensive thanks to its partnerships with the major companies: SNCF, Ouigo, FlixBus, BlaBlaBus and BlaBlaCar. The acquisition of KelBillet in 2026 further expanded this national coverage.

Tictactrip offers equivalent coverage of French territory with the same partner companies. The difference lies in the flexibility of routes: thanks to intermodal combinations, Tictactrip can offer you journeys to towns or places less well served by a single company. The goal is to help connect underserved areas by making every destination accessible, even without a direct connection.

With its 400+ partner companies, Kombo covers a large part of Europe. The platform is present in 31 European countries, from Ireland to Ukraine, and has recently expanded into the Italian market. The acquisition of KelBillet in 2026 further strengthened this coverage.

Tictactrip shares this European ambition with more than 3,700 cities served across 31 countries on the continent. The difference? Thanks to intermodality, Tictactrip gives you access to destinations that standard comparison sites don't cover directly. For example, no company directly serves certain ski resorts, but on Tictactrip, you'll find a complete journey — train to the nearest station, then bus or carpooling to the resort — in just a few clicks.

Kombo now compares four types of transport: train (SNCF, Ouigo, Trenitalia, Eurostar…), bus (FlixBus, BlaBlaBus, Alsa…), carpooling (BlaBlaCar) and plane (Air France, EasyJet, Ryanair…). Since acquiring KelBillet in 2026, its catalogue has grown even further with more than 400 partner companies.

Tictactrip is an intermodal comparator specialised in ground transport: bus, train and carpooling. This is a deliberate choice: by focusing on these three modes, Tictactrip can combine them intelligently to offer you optimised routes you won't find elsewhere. Unlike a simple comparator, Tictactrip creates brand-new journeys by assembling different transport segments.

Real-time adjusted prices are essential for a reliable comparator. Transport company fares fluctuate constantly: a ticket's price can change from one hour to the next. A comparator that doesn't refresh its data risks showing you an incorrect price, which leads to disappointment at booking time.

At both Kombo and Tictactrip, prices are synchronised in real time with partner companies. You're guaranteed to see the actual price at the time of your search. This pricing transparency is a shared commitment of both platforms, since a comparator that shows inaccurate prices loses its users' trust.

Integrated purchases let you book your tickets directly on the comparator's site, without being redirected to each company's own website. It's a real time-saver and much simpler.

Kombo has offered integrated purchases since its early days and lets you book train, bus, plane and carpooling tickets directly on its platform or mobile app. The experience is smooth and centralised.

Tictactrip also offers direct booking on its platform. The added advantage: you can book a combined journey (for example bus + train) in a single transaction, whereas classic comparators would force you to make two separate bookings.

Intermodality means combining several modes of transport within a single journey — for example a bus followed by a train — to optimise price, time or coverage. This concept is at the heart of modern mobility and helps significantly reduce the cost of your trips.

Kombo positions itself as a multimodal comparator (train, bus, plane, carpooling) and lets you see offers from more than 400 companies. However, Kombo doesn't natively offer combined journeys mixing different modes of transport on a single route.

This is precisely where Tictactrip stands out. As a pioneer of intermodality for ground transport, Tictactrip offers you millions of combinations of bus + train + carpooling to find the cheapest or fastest journey. With a single ticket, you could for example take a carpool to the nearest station and then a train to your final destination. This approach promotes both savings and better connectivity for remote areas.
