Q: 🚌 Types of transport compared

Quite logically, and as its name suggests, Trainline first and foremost offers train tickets . But for some time now, the site hasn't stopped at rail journeys. Indeed, it's now also possible to book bus travel from the Trainline app or website. So to be completely clear, Trainline compares two types of transport: buses and trains . But the platform only compares simple journeys. It doesn't offer combined journeys like Tictactrip does, for instance. The same goes if you want the option of carpooling , for example - that won't be possible on the Trainline site, unfortunately.

Q: 🇫🇷 Destinations in France

With more than 207 partner companies across Europe, Trainline offers journeys across the entire old continent. And quite logically, the company therefore also offers a whole host of journeys within France. But, since Trainline does not offer intermodality , the results on their site are numerous but not necessarily all relevant. Indeed, not all cities are necessarily served by train or bus . And thanks to intermodality , Tictactrip gives access to smaller cities and offers more complete coverage of the metropolitan area.

Q: 🛸 Intermodality & combinations

Intermodality , what is it? Behind this word that can seem intimidating lies a concept that's not actually that complicated. According to Wikipedia , it's "the use of several modes of transport during the same trip." Simple, right? In fact, we talk about intermodality or combinations when you take a bus then a train (for example) to reach your destination. You then combine one mode of transport ( train or bus ) with another in order to save time and/or money. Trainline does not offer combinations on its site, you can simply compare your bus and train journeys. Tictactrip also lets you compare , but adds its combination system on top. This gives access to a greater number of destinations in France and Europe . And of course, it offers more attractive fares on these trips.

Q: 📲 In-app purchases

In-app purchases are, put simply, the ability on a site to pay for and receive a product (or a service) in return. On the Trainline site and apps, purchases are integrated and you can book and pay for your train and bus tickets directly. On Tictactrip , this feature isn't available yet. But a little patience - the addition of in-app purchases is planned for 2019! In the meantime, you can still compare and choose your route. You'll simply be redirected to the partner companies' pages.

Q: 🏷 Prices adjusted in real time

Comparing and offering journeys across France and Europe is the bread and butter for online comparison sites . But what's also particularly important is providing users with tickets at prices adjusted in real time. And indeed, that way there are no bad surprises between the moment you select your journey and the moment you pay for it (no price increase or other surprises). Fortunately, most comparison sites work with a real-time price adjustment system. That's the case for both Trainline and Tictactrip !
