Thanks to a recent investment by rail company Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français, European car-sharing company BlaBlaCar is slated to buy Ouibus, a French long-haul bus service and a subsidiary of SNCF.

In November, BlaBlaCar announced it would acquire Ouibus, a French bus company that offers reasonable fares to and from 300 cities in Western Europe, competing directly with the likes of Flixbus, which has a more extensive network, including the United States.

Founded 10 years ago in Paris, BlaBlaCar is now one of the world’s leading carpooling companies — since August 2017, its cars have driven 50 million passengers among 22 countries in Europe. Through the trusted network, travelers can book a seat in a car already traveling to their intended destination. Giving BlaBlaCar the boost they need for such an acquisition, BlaBlaCar received a recent investment of $113 million from French rail magnate SNCF, which is working to expand its network not only through train tracks, but also via the open road.

With these recent acquisitions, purchasing passes for rail, bus or carpooling (or any combination of these) may be possible just by visiting one website.
