In the travel industry, Karhoo is already trusted by major rail transport operators, such as SNCF, Trainline and Whoosh.

We are very proud of this partnership between Karhoo and Renfe, which we are convinced will help to encourage multimodal mobility through reliable and simple solutions for travellers,” says Fedra Ribeiro, CEO of Mobilize.
