"Now the platform ... has accumulated ticket content from more than 5,000 carriers, including all long-distance rail, all Russian airlines, bus companies and operators of regular water routes (both river and sea). Routes can be built between cities where there are carriers with a sufficient degree of automation and digitalization of activities. The pool of carriers is certainly expanding," Russian Railways told RIA Novosti.
