Moovit and Distribusion Technologies are partnering to help passengers more easily plan journeys and buy tickets for intercity transport across more than 40 European countries.

The service, which will be provided using the Moovit app, follows Moovit’s 2024 announcement allowing its users to be able to plan cross-region journeys. Now, they can also pay for them, starting with hundreds of European transport operators, thanks to the partnership with Distribution, a global ground transportation technologies company.

The partnership will connect Distribusion’s extensive carrier network of European transport operators to the Moovit app. Moovit users will be able to easily plan, purchase and validate journeys for intercity travel, including cross-border journeys, with mobility options such as long-distance trains, buses and ferries.

“We believe that collaboration is key to simplifying travel and making it more accessible,” said Tomer Asheroff, Moovit’s vice president of business development. “Offering a unified mobility platform, one place where Moovit’s 1.5 billion users can plan and pay for ground travel across Europe - and plan the first- and last-mile segments of their journey - is a significant step towards enhancing public transport connectivity and contributing to more sustainable travel options.”

Travellers will not only be able to plan cross-regional journeys, but will be able to book them seamlessly, noted Johannes Thunert, chief business officer of Distribusion Technologies. “Our collaboration with Moovit will make multi-city travel more accessible than ever.”

People can purchase tickets directly in the Moovit iOS or Android apps or online. Moovit says it has more than 1.5 billion users in more than 3,500 cities across 112 countries – and in 45 languages.
