This user-friendly approach, allowing travelers to type a query in natural language and presenting a unique infographic for the answer, is a global industry first. iXiGO's Trip Planner is most suitable for travelers who wish to make an informed choice of modes of transportation for their trip, across flights, trains, buses and taxis.
