Rome2rio

Rome2rio is a multimodal transport search engine that launched in April 2011.[1] Rome2rio's platform is capable of long-distance (inter-city) trip planning as well as local (intra-city) journey planning. Users can input any address, town or landmark as the origin and destination and Rome2rio searches a database of flight, train, ferry, bus and driving routes to present route and price options for travelling to that destination.
The company is based in Melbourne, Australia.

== White Label and API[edit source] ==
The company initially offered both white label and API options for partners wishing to integrate its multi-modal results into web sites and mobile apps.[3] In July 2015 it announced that support for its white label product would cease in January 2016, citing pressure on development resources brought on by rapid growth in its consumer business.[4]
== Founders and history[edit source] ==
Rome2rio was founded by Bernhard Tschirren and Dr Michael Cameron, two ex-Microsoft software engineers. The site was born out of their frustrations with the lack of a fast, easy-to-use, and comprehensive multi-modal search engine with global coverage.[5] The two co-founders began work on the product in September 2010 and won the Melbourne Azure Bizspark Camp Award in February 2011.[6] The beta version of Rome2rio was officially launched on 7 April 2011.[7] Rod Cuthbert, founder of Viator, joined the team as CEO in 2012.[8] Rome2rio won the People's Choice Award at Phocuswright 2012,[9] the TRAVELtech GlobalCollect Website of the Year in 2013,[10] and the Data Specialist Award at the 2015 WITovation Awards.[11]
The company has raised $2.8 million in funding including a 2014 grant of $1.2 million from Commercialisation Australia.[12]
