About RailBuddy

How we choose and explain a journey

Safety and avoiding confusing transfers come first. We then compare practical fares. A simpler route may cost more; a recommendation should explain that trade-off.

We use operator, airport and other primary sources for route facts. We separate paper-ticket and IC fares when they differ, and show estimates as estimates. This is not a live departure or disruption service.

AI assists with research, drafting, translation and software. Its output can be wrong. Route claims need source checks; an AI-generated answer alone is not evidence.

Checks have a scope and a date. A date for airport access does not mean that every fare was rechecked that day. Where a date is missing, the guide says so. For a change on the day, follow station signs, staff and operator updates.

Help us correct an error

Use “Report a correction” at the bottom of the planner. Please include the route, language, travel date and the detail that appears wrong; an official source link helps. Your name and email are optional. RailBuddy cannot make reservations or answer urgent transport enquiries.
