Following on from prior closed thread, didn't realise Rome2Rio had been developed by two Australians.
Certainly been a useful site for me on a number of occasions.

But good on them, great and all the best

Great site - I use it all the time. I hope the new owners don't stuff it up

Great site.

I was a very early adoptee and fan.

I love how you just put in a departure and arrival point and it would put up all the alternatives to make the trip with estimates of time and cost. So one could instantly make some trade offs on what suited one best.

And yes I twigged early on that they were an Aussie Company as they always had a careers link (and sometimes Ads) and all the jobs were Melbourne based. Though looking just now they do have some jobs internationally and so have spread their wings a little..
