Omio completed the acquisition of multimodal travel veteran Rome2rio as it works on building out a global travel aggregator business, having taken the decision to zoom out from its home market of Europe earlier this year for A$40m. Rome2rio is based in Melbourne, Australia, and offers search tools for travelers covering multiple transportation options all around the world. Some 10m locations are covered by its product, which serves results for more than 5k train, bus, flight, ferry and intra-city public transportation operators. “We are excited to welcome the Rome2rio team to Omio. They have built a great product with innovative tech and delivered impressive growth. Together, our two brands will reach half a billion users every year and offer access to thousands of transportation operators globally, helping us deliver our vision to solve consumer travel globally,” Naren Shaam, Omi CEO and founder.
