EcoRoute Planner is a platform designed to simplify and promote sustainable travel, particularly focusing on making rail travel more competitive and accessible across Europe. Inspired by the push from EU youth, consumer, and environmental groups for improved rail ticket booking and the upcoming VAT revisions, this platform aggregates real-time train schedules, pricing, and connections. It solves the problem of fragmented booking systems and lack of transparency in sustainable travel options. Users can easily compare routes based on cost, travel time, and estimated carbon footprint, and even integrate “last-mile” green transport solutions like electric car-sharing or bike rentals, making eco-conscious travel choices straightforward and appealing.
