Travelers struggle with fragmented, unreliable ticket booking
People booking flights, trains, and buses face disconnected search and booking flows: fares are hard to compare across operators, and checkout experiences can be confusing or fail. Travelers describe bouncing between apps and provider websites, while some also struggle to keep bookings organized afterward. A standalone tool could improve search, comparison, and organization, but it cannot reliably fix provider-side payment declines or booking errors.
For travelers booking across airlines, rail and bus operators. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Jun 2026 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

Buying tickets online is the biggest pain in the arse having all these operators. It means being redirected to potentially 20+ different websites depending on where you're travelling
