I have been using the rome2rio.com site to get an estimate about what fares may cost and which trains/buses to use.
I was just wondering how close in accuracy of costs the site was?

Thanks,
Laurie

Not very since there are so many variables (departure time, day of week, advance purchase, etc) It's a little better on relative cost.

Its main value is looking at time for the various means of transportation.

Laurie,
I use the Rome2Rio website for time and method of travel comparisons all the time, but never for the cost since it's often based on full-fare tickets purchased on or near day of travel.
