The European Commission is giving new momentum to efforts to develop Europe-wide all-in-one journey planners that would allow planning and booking journeys involving several means of transport with a single online tool, even across borders.

The Commission has published today an analysis of the current situation of multimodal travel planners in Europe and its plans for the way forward. The multimodal journey planners currently available are all limited either geographically or in their coverage of transport modes, rarely offering cross-border information.

The publication of this analysis coincides with the 10th European ITS Congress , one of Europe’s largest events in Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS) that is taking place in Helsinki on 16th and 17thJune 2014.
