A journey planner (or trip planner) is a specialised electronic search engine used to find the best journey between two points by some means of transport. ( Wikipedia )

An Intermodal Journey Planner (IJP), or Trip Planner is computer system which can provide a traveller with an itinerary for an intermodal passenger transport journey. The system can provide timetable, routing and other travel information. A single journey may use a sequence of several modes of transport, meaning that the system must know about public transport services (bus, train, aeroplane, tram, metro) and about transportation networks (roads, footpaths, cycle routes) for private transportation (automobile, walking, bicycle). ( Wikipedia )
A public transport route planner is a type of journey planner designed to provide information about available public transport journeys ( Wikipedia )
Intermodal passenger transport, also called mixed-mode commuting, involves using two or more modes of transportation in a journey. ( Wikipedia )

The journey planners are listed by country or area of service, countries are sorted under languages. ( Wikipedia )

Here are the ones with most coverage / utility

http://www.rome2rio.com/ - w:Rome2rio is a worldwide multimodal transport search engine that displays realistic prices. This site seems to work fairly well. The prices it gives are slightly inflated from what you would as a local expect to get it for but they are hitting the mark on what a tourist will pay for booked-on-the-go ticket. No direct booking.

Google Transit a multi-modal journey planner for US and also serves areas in Africa, Australia, Europe and India ( w:International availability of Google Transit )

The coverage of Google Transit is publicly available. It is spread worldwide, in hundreds of cities and sometimes in entire countries such as China, Japan, Switzerland. The coverage of major cities in the United States and in Canada is almost exhaustive. In some areas (North East, North West, South West, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire) of the United Kingdom, Google Transit covers only part of the transit agencies. In other areas, Google Transit does not provide public transit directions, but still provides the Transit Layer which overlays the schematic of the transit lines on the map. Notable examples include Paris, Berlin, Mexico City and many other capitals around the world. ( Wikipedia)

Shared transport is a term for describing a demand-driven vehicle-sharing arrangement, in which travelers share a vehicle either simultaneously (e.g. ride-sharing) or over time (e.g. carsharing or bike sharing), and in the process share the cost of the journey, thereby creating a hybrid between private vehicle use and mass or public transport.
