The Idea would be to have a real time and costs travel calculator, especially for short to medium distances

Example: A family from Munich with 2 children wants to visit for a weekend the grandparents in Cologne. The calculator should easy display real costs, environmental aspects and time. So the ICE takes around 4 hours MUC-CGN. The flight takes appr. 1 hour but you will have to get to the airport in Munich. So leaving the appartment, Taxi or Tram or whatever to the S-Bahn and then to the airport takes 1 hour. Then you have to be there at least 1 hour before. And in Cologne it will take another half an hour (if you have luggage even more) from the airplane to cologne city. So all together this would be more or less the same time.

Moreover changing the transport type so often as for the MUC-CGN-Flight example can be risky or at least it is not comfortable. 

 
The Mobile App should be a table comparing car, train and flight options. Further on you should be able to add specific options regarding your preferences (example: arrival time at the train station before the train will leave, etc.)  

Should be linked to google maps, etc.

    Hey Marc! I like your idea too! I already have some thoughts on how we can combine them. I will start a new idea and add you as an owner. After you accept my request we can work on it together and when it is ready publish it as collaboration. Cheers! Bonnie
