Where can I find companies that offer both bus and train services?

If you are looking for passenger transportation providers that operate or directly integrate both bus and train services (often called intermodal travel), several major transport companies and booking platforms offer both services:

• Flix (FlixBus & FlixTrain): The parent company behind FlixBus also operates FlixTrain in select European countries like Germany and Sweden. While their massive global network is primarily known for long-distance buses (FlixBus), they provide integrated budget train services on key corridors under the Flix brand. You can check schedules and book on the FlixBus Website.flixbus.com
• National Rail & Coach Operators (e.g., Deutsche Bahn, SNCF, Trenitalia): Many European national passenger carriers own or coordinate regional bus networks alongside their high-speed and regional rail lines to provide seamless last-mile connections.
• Amtrak (Thruway Connecting Services): While primarily a passenger railroad in the United States, Amtrak operates Amtrak Thruway motorcoach services. These dedicated or coordinated bus routes connect directly with Amtrak train stations to expand travel to cities and towns that don't have direct rail access. You can look up these combined options directly through Amtrak.amtrak.com

If you are looking for third-party aggregators that let you search, compare, and book both bus and train tickets side-by-side rather than a single operating company, check out:

• Trainline: A major platform covering rail and coach travel options across the UK and Europe. Visit Trainline to compare routes.
• Busbud: A global booking platform that aggregates intercity bus, and in some regions, train routes. You can explore options on Busbud.
• Rail Europe: Traditionally specialized in trains, they also distribute combined rail and bus connections in various European countries. Explore options on Rail Europe.

Are you looking for services in a specific region or country (like the US or Europe), or do you need help planning a particular route that requires both?

If you mean companies that themselves operate both buses and trains, rather than companies that merely sell tickets for both, there are several notable examples:

• Flix — operates FlixBus and FlixTrain, with services across Europe and other markets.global.flixbus.com
• Arriva — operates both bus and rail services across 11 European countries, including the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Poland.www.arrivagroup.com
• Go-Ahead Group — operates bus and rail services in countries including the UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and Singapore.www.go-ahead.com
• Mobico Group — operates coach/bus services internationally and rail operations in Germany through its businesses.www.mobicogroup.com
• Leo Express — offers both train and bus services in the Czech Republic and international destinations.www.thetrainline.com

If you're looking for companies in the U.S.

A useful starting point is Wanderu, which lets you search and compare bus and train operators in one place; it currently lists more than 500 bus and train companies.global.flixbus.com+3

For an official U.S. list of scheduled intercity bus providers, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Intercity Bus Atlas is also useful.www.bts.gov

If you tell me what country or region you're interested in, I can find a more comprehensive list of companies that operate both modes themselves.

If you mean companies/agencies that operate both buses and trains, some examples are:

• NJ TRANSIT — buses, commuter rail, and light rail across New Jersey.NJ TRANSIT
• MTA (New York) — buses plus Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road services.NJ TRANSIT
• Amtrak — trains plus connecting bus services through its Amtrak Connection/Thruway network.amtrak.com

For New Jersey specifically, NJ TRANSIT is the main company to look at.

Major national railway companies and regional public transit authorities provide both bus and train services, often integrating them to form complete commuter or intercity networks.

National and Intercity Carriers

• Amtrak (United States): Operates an extensive national passenger rail network alongside Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach services, which are dedicated connecting bus routes that link directly to train stations.
• Deutsche Bahn (Germany): The German national railway operates massive regional and long-distance bus subsidiaries (such as DB Regio Bus) alongside its core national train system.
• SNCF (France): Through its regional rail and road networks (TER), the French national railway coordinates and operates direct substitute and complementary bus routes alongside rail lines.
• Trenitalia / Busitalia (Italy): Italy's primary rail operator runs comprehensive roadway passenger and regional bus services through its subsidiary, Busitalia.

Regional Public Transit Authorities

• RTD Denver (Colorado, USA): Operates both the extensive regional light rail network and local/regional bus routes across the Denver metropolitan area.
• MTA (New York, USA): Combines commuter subways and urban trains with a massive public bus grid throughout New York City.
• Metro Transit (Minnesota, USA): Manages both the METRO light rail lines and local public bus infrastructure in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.rtd-denver.com

Third-Party Booking Aggregators

If you want to search, compare, and book tickets across separate independent bus and train providers simultaneously, multi-modal travel platforms offer comprehensive booking portals:

• Wanderu : Compares and sells combined itineraries across hundreds of individual bus and train operators like Greyhound, FlixBus , and Amtrak.
• Busbud : Aggregates multi-modal ground transportation schedules spanning global networks of both rail and coach lines.wanderu.com+1

If you are looking for services in a specific city, state, or country , let me know the location so I can give you the exact local operators serving that area.

Finding companies that offer both bus and train services depends on whether you are looking for direct operators (transportation companies that run both fleets themselves) or booking platforms/aggregators (services that let you book both types of travel in one place).

Here are the best places to look:

1. Direct Transport Operators (Run Both Buses & Trains)

• Amtrak (United States): While primarily a national passenger railroad, Amtrak operates Amtrak Thruway Connecting Services , which are integrated motorcoach (bus) routes designed to extend their rail network into regions and cities without direct train tracks. You can book coordinated bus and train itineraries directly on the Amtrak Website.amtrak.com
• Flix (Europe): The parent company of FlixBus also operates FlixTrain in certain European markets (like Germany). They coordinate intercity bus and rail networks, and you can often find or cross-book connections through the FlixBus Website.
• National Rail / Regional Transit Authorities (UK and Europe): Many national and regional European transport systems (such as Deutsche Bahn in Germany or SNCF in France) operate integrated networks where a single ticket or journey planner combines regional buses and national rail lines.

2. Multi-Modal Booking Aggregators (Book Both in One Place)

• Busbud: Though it started primarily for buses, Busbud allows you to search, compare, and book both intercity bus and train tickets across dozens of countries worldwide.busbud.com
• 12Go: If you are traveling in Asia (such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, or Cambodia), 12Go is a premier platform that bundles trains, buses, ferries, and transfers into a single searchable database and booking portal.
• Omio: This platform aggregates ground and air transport, letting you compare routes that combine trains and buses across Europe and North America.

If you can share what region or country you are traveling in, I can point you toward the specific local operators or apps that cover that exact area.

If you mean companies that themselves operate both buses and trains, the clearest example is:

• Flix — operates FlixBus and FlixTrain. FlixTrain currently operates in Germany, while FlixBus operates across Europe and North America.flix
• Amtrak — primarily a train operator, but also offers Amtrak Connection/Thruway bus services that connect passengers to its rail network.Amtrak+1
• Flix/Greyhound — in North America, Flix owns Greyhound and combines the two bus networks, but Greyhound itself does not operate trains.FlixBus+1

If your goal is simply to find and compare companies offering bus and train trips, wanderu.com is particularly useful; it searches hundreds of bus and train companies in one place.wanderu.com

If you tell me what country or region you're traveling in, I can give you the companies that offer both modes there.

Finding companies that operate or bundle both bus and train services depends on whether you are looking for an actual transit operator that runs both fleets, or a booking platform that aggregates both.

Here are the best options categorized by how they provide both services:

1. Direct Transit Operators (Carriers that run both buses and trains)

• Flix (FlixBus / Flixtrain) : Best known across Europe for its extensive green long-distance bus network (FlixBus), the parent company also operates FlixTrain in select European markets (like Germany), offering low-cost intercity rail travel alongside their coaches.
• Amtrak : While primarily a national passenger railroad in the United States, Amtrak operates extensive Thruway Connecting Services (coordinated and dedicated motorcoach/bus routes). These bus routes are integrated directly into your train itinerary to bridge gaps where trains don’t go.amtrak.com+1
• National European Rail Companies : Many national rail operators in Europe—such as Deutsche Bahn (Germany), SNCF (France), and Trenitalia (Italy)—own or partner intimately with regional bus subsidiaries to provide seamless rail-to-bus connections for outlying towns.

2. Aggregators and Booking Platforms (Search engines for both)

• Busbud : A major booking platform that has expanded past just road travel to feature combined search results and ticket purchasing for both intercity bus and train routes globally across dozens of countries.busbud.com
• 12Go : The go-to platform if you are traveling in Southeast Asia or parts of Oceania/Middle East. It lets you cross-compare and book trains, buses, ferries, and transfers in one place.
• Rail Europe : Primarily a rail booking powerhouse, they also feature select multi-modal and connecting coach/bus segments tied into European itineraries where rail lines collaborate with road transit.

Are you looking for these services in a specific region (like the US, Europe, or Asia), or do you need help planning a specific multi-modal route?

If you mean companies that provide both bus and train travel under the same brand/network, a prominent example is:

• Flix — operates FlixBus and FlixTrain. Flix offers bus and train travel across 40+ countries, with FlixTrain currently operating in Germany and Sweden. You can combine bus and train connections when planning a trip.FlixBus+2

In the U.S., Amtrak primarily operates trains but also provides connecting bus services through Amtrak Connection/Thruway services, allowing passengers to combine buses with Amtrak trains.Amtrak+2

If you're asking because you want to travel somewhere, tell me your starting city and destination, and I can find companies that offer both bus and train options for that route.
