Online travel portal MakeMyTrip has launched RoutePlanner — a travel application developed for the Indian traveller.
RoutePlanner integrates the availability of services like flights, buses, trains and cabs to display the exact connectivity options between any two places in India.
RoutePlanner
RoutePlanner allows users to view multiple routes for the same origin-destination pair.
Furthermore, it enables trip-planning between any two destinations in India by combining multiple modes of transportation across 4,300 cities, 2,300 flight routes, 65,000 bus routes, 9.7 lakh train routes and an extensive road network.
RouteRank
Each route is ranked by an algorithm called ‘RouteRank’ which ranks the route's basic convenience, duration of travel and price.
Once a route is selected, RoutePlanner displays the best transport combinations down to the specific flight number, train name or bus operator with approximate fares.
The tool also gives user the option to receive the results in a portable document format (pdf) along with the pricing details for flights and trains.
