 * http://www.busbud.com/ - [[w:Busbud|Busbud]] is a world-wide [[w:bus|bus]] and [[w:Coach (bus)|coach]] [[w:travel|travel]] company that enables travellers to easily search, compare, and book their [[w:intercity bus|intercity bus]] tickets. ( Wikipedia )

-* http://www.rome2rio.com/ - [[w:Rome2rio]] is a worldwide multimodal transport search engine. 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.
-=== Europe-wide multi-modal mass transit journey planners ===
-* [http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml Europe-wide multi-modal mass transit journey planner] by Deutch Bahn
-=== Multi-modal journey planners with multiple coverage areas ===
-* [https://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/transit/#mdy 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 '''[[w:Google_Maps#Google Transit|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)
