Online Revolution in Transport. Bileto has been launched.

Based on a user´s enquiry, Bileto finds the most convenient train connection, current prices and free capacity of the connection. In the next step, it will enable to buy a ticket of any carrier and it will send the bilet with information about tickets: „Regardless of the amount of transfers or operators, the customer will get just one e-mail with all necessary information about the journey,“ Jiří Psota, chief technology officer of Bileto, explains. The project currently runs in a testing version and is available only for people who are registered. „It is our aim to make the purchase of the ticket as simple and intuitive as possible, so we expect to adjust the product based on the feedback from our customers,“ Jiří Psota further says.

Bileto has solved he question of train schedules, due to which charges have been pressed in the Czech Republic, in a very clever way: it works with data from more sources that are available. „We believe that data of train schedules are public information and it is only a question of time when they are made accessible. When we followed the trial, we were aware of the fact that it can be a long-distance run and we have started looking for another way,“ the chief of the product Jan Antonín Kolář explains.

With the start of the testing operation, Bileto also announced its cooperation with Seznam.cz. Details of their cooperation will be specified in following days.

Bileto is a part of Rockaway group founded by Jakub Havrlant. Launching Bileto outlines in detail the reasons of Havrlant´s entrance into LEO Express trains. „Ticket business, or the whole sphere of traveling, is the field which still awaits its disrupt moment. On the other hand, it has extremely high barriers for entrance. The entrance into LEO Express enabled me to comprehend much faster the whole field which has great potential for online business,“ Jakub Havrlant explains. Bileto works as an independent seller oriented on customers. There is no connection with LEO Express.

Rockaway group was founded by Jakub Havrlant last year and it cover all his activities. The turnover of the projects within the group reached 780 million CZK last year. Other 300 million CZK will be invested into Czech and foreign internet projects this year. After the entrance into a Brazilian comparison tool of private financing and the investment into Brand embassy, Bileto is the third project which Jakub Havrlant announced this year.
