The partnership will see Trainline¡¯s B2B arm provide a white label online booking platform for Italo offering multi-modal ticketing through the train operator¡¯s website, including regional trains run by Trenitalia and bus connections from Itabus.
Italo is a private company which started operating train services in 2012 and currently serves around 60 stations across Italy.
The agreement is the first time that TPS has supplied a white-label solution to a European train operator, although it already provides a similar service for six UK-based companies.
Champa Magesh, president of Trainline Partner Solutions, said the deal was the ¡°first step¡± in its partnership with Italo.
¡°We will continue to work closely with them to integrate into all of Italo¡¯s distribution channels,¡± she added. ¡°Over the coming months and years, we will develop innovative new services and ensure Italo¡¯s customers can benefit from the best travel experience available.¡±?
Italo¡¯s CEO Gianbattista La Rocca said its customers now had the ability to purchase connecting journeys by both road and rail through its website.
¡°This simplifies travel for our customers and enriches our network,¡± added La Rocca.
