Once you select the train that works best, there’s a direct link to complete your booking on the partner’s website.
“This feature will expand to more locations as we work with other rail providers. We also plan to begin testing a similar feature for bus tickets in the near future to broaden your choices for intercity travel,” said Holden.
Moreover, with new filters for both flights and hotels, it’s easier to find more sustainable options on Google Search, he added.
