Let the Go2RAIL Bot guide you to connect with other students traveling on your route and destination. Start sharing valuable information about your trip and exchange period.
You're all set! Make your train journey more engaging, informative, and possibly safer (especially on night trains) by sharing unique moments with other students traveling on the same route and date.
Travel while chatting, laughing, and creating wonderful memories with your new travel companions, all headed to the same destination!
Communicate and share information with like-minded people before, during, or after your journey, either in real-time or via Telegram.
Utilize the PROMOCODEs provided by Go2RAIL to make your train journey more cost-effective and enjoyable with additional discounts!
If this occurs, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please send an email to info@go2rail.eu with the ending of the student email accounts at your institution (e.g., @studio.unibo.it). Once received, we will add it!
Yes, Go2RAIL is exclusively for students, meaning it's designed to bring students together for travel. To ensure this, participation requires an active student institutional email address.
Good point! The Go2RAIL Bot will take care of that as soon as you start interacting with it and will ask you about your "City of Departure" and "City of Arrival."
The Go2RAIL Bot assists students traveling on the same European route and destination in getting in contact with one another, first on the Telegram messaging platform and then while traveling together to or from the same exchange location.
Once you fill out the form at the top of the Go2RAIL homepage, you'll get a welcome email with a temporary link to the Go2RAIL Bot. Just click on it, follow two quick and easy sync steps, and let the bot help you connect with your next travel buddies.
The Go2RAIL Bot has got you covered! As soon as there are other students travelling on your same route and destination, the bot will group you together so you can start sharing tips and info about the trip and your upcoming stay.
The Go2RAIL Bot will initially group you together with all the students traveling on your same route and destination, but at the same time, it will keep track of the preferred date of each student. As soon as there are more students with the same preference, a sub-group (i.e., "Topic") will be prompted to facilitate the conversation with your new travel buddies.
No, you are supposed to fill out the form on the Go2RAIL homepage again but with reverted "Country of Departure" and "Country of Arrival." In this way, you will make sure to better align with students with similar travel intentions.
No, neither party will see another's phone number unless this is permitted by your Telegram privacy settings. Additional information can be found at www.telegram.org/faq.
Yes, you can leave a Telegram group at any time after being sorted in. You can also request the deletion of your data by sending an email to Go2RAIL (info@go2rail.eu).
In the near future, Go2RAIL will reward students traveling by train with useful PROMOCODEs relevant to students’ daily lives (e.g., grocery stores, Decathlon, Flixbus) and/or gift cards for additional products or services (e.g., Spotify, train tickets). We're gathering your preferences now to get the best deals with partners that match what students need.
As a team of friends who have traveled across Europe and the world to complete our studies, we acknowledge that we've taken too many flights. This is something we aim to change, and Go2RAIL is our way of doing it!
Go2RAIL is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting students across Europe, enabling them to travel together on more engaging, informative, and potentially safer journeys, especially by night trains. In line with our goal of making international students' train travel more affordable, we are committed (see Go2RAIL Statute) to reinvesting the accumulated annual profits to continually reduce train ticket prices through dedicated gift cards.
