Tools › Train or transfer? Tool · Groups and families
Train or private transfer: which is cheaper for your group? Train and coach fares are per person; a private transfer or taxi is priced per vehicle. Pick a route and your group size to see which costs less, shown as ranges from the fares we recorded.
Figures this tool uses 12 routes, 77 figures, each with its source and the date we checked it.
Train, coach and bus fares are per person; private transfer and taxi fares are per vehicle, one row per vehicle class. Fares marked “unconfirmed” are used, as they are on the route pages, and the result says so.
