A start-up called Wanderu aims to become the Kayak of intercity bus and rail travel.  The site aggregates bus and train tickets for about a dozen carriers, including Amtrak , Megabus , Bolt Bus , and Concord Coach Lines .
The site works like a typical discount european cruises trip aggregator. Users enter a start and end point and Wanderu generates potential itineraries, including transit directions to the bus or train station.  Users can sort the results by price, duration, arrival time, departure time, and other features. Itineraries just cover the Northeast discount european cruises for now, but the company plans to expand to the Southeast next. A mobile app is also in the works.
Aggregating bus information has been a challenge, co-founder and CEO Polina Raygorodskaya told TechCrunch , and the team has been working on the technical aspects since October 2011. If you look at Kayak, they pay money to license data from airlines. Within the bus industry that information's not out there. It's extremely outdated, she said. We've had to build it from scratch, because there are no APIs. We've partnered with bus companies discount european cruises to work with them to get access to their data.
The site is said to have 80% coverage in the Northeast, but the missing 20% led to some strange results.  Boston-to-Philadelphia itineraries were as expected, identifying multiple trip options discount european cruises on Megabus and Amtrak, and trips along the I-95 corridor are the sweet spot for Wanderu. But a Boston-to-Albany trip request routed riders through New York City or Portland discount european cruises (ME); Peter Pan / Bonanza offer more direct travel but they are not partners with Wanderu. (Full disclosure: I was a beta tester for Wanderu.)
