Route guides, slowly written.

The bysloth blog is a collection of long-form overland travel guides — border crossings, bus and train routes, ferry connections, and comparisons with other trip-planning tools — for people planning trips without flights.

Written by the bysloth team, drawing on real routes planned in the app and public information from operators and other travel resources.

What is the bysloth blog?

Two kinds of posts: route-specific guides (border logistics, transport options, timing) and comparisons against other route-planning tools like Rome2rio and Omio, based on public reviews and our own testing. Every post is dated and updated when the underlying information changes.

bysloth vs Rome2rio vs Omio — which is best for overland routes?

Short version: Rome2rio is best for sketching what transport modes exist between two cities, Omio is best for booking a route you already know, and bysloth is best for working out an overland-only route when the path isn't obvious. See the full comparisons below.
