Travelier Transitions to Traveling.com for Global Travel
Previously known as GetByBus, the Croatian-based brand has transformed itself.
SPLIT, Croatia, and TEL AVIV, Israel — After over a decade of connecting travelers across various regions through the GetByBus platform, the company is embarking on a significant journey with the launch of Traveling.com. This ambitious rebranding signifies the evolution of a company dedicated to simplifying travel across borders, islands, and regions.
Traveling.com serves as the new flagship brand in Europe, merging the previously separate services of GetByBus, GetByFerry, GetByTransfer, and the GetBy App into a single, streamlined experience. This pivotal shift aims to eliminate the complications associated with a fragmented identity, establishing a cohesive, trust-centered platform that scales globally.
This unified platform is designed to cater to today's modern traveler, accommodating journeys from local bus rides to sea adventures.
"GetByBus began with a mission to simplify bus travel in Croatia," said Ante Dageli?, CEO of Traveling.com. "As we grew into one of the most popular transport platforms in our region, we recognized the need to adapt to changing travel behaviors. Traveling.com exemplifies this evolution with a contemporary approach that resonates with travelers worldwide."
The name change marks more than just a new logo; it signals a robust ambition to establish itself as a globally recognized hub for both land and sea transportation. With a keen focus on user experience, innovative technology, and reaching international audiences, Traveling.com is positioned to redefine the travel booking landscape.
A Croatian Success Story Expands Globally
Over a decade ago, GetByBus emerged as a startup addressing regional bus travel. Its commitment to delivering trustworthy, straightforward information and user-friendly tools quickly made it a favored choice among locals and visitors in Southeast Europe.
As demand surged, the company expanded its services to include GetByFerry, GetByTransfer, and a mobile application, allowing for a more complete travel experience. However, with multiple sub-brands cluttering the identity, the need for a strong, unified brand became apparent.
This unified identity is now embodied in Traveling.com. This global platform integrates diverse forms of ground and sea transportation into one seamless service. It marks a remarkable evolution from being a regional provider to an international travel leader.
The Reason Behind the Name Traveling.com
The chosen name resonated remarkably well with users, as it conjures feelings of familiarity, reliability, and adaptability. This is crucial for a platform focusing on helping travelers navigate bus, ferry, train, and private transfer options. With billions of Google searches around the term "traveling," this domain name serves as a strategic brand asset.
Much like how Booking.com became synonymous with hotel bookings, Traveling.com aspires to dominate the sector of non-air travel.
Designed for Today’s Traveler
In conjunction with the rebranding, enhancements to the app and platform have been introduced. Travelers can now enjoy tailored recommendations, real-time support, and simplified booking mechanisms designed to transition casual users into loyal customers.
However, it’s not just about technology. The brand aims to engage users with a warm, personal tone—much like getting advice from a friend rather than feeling like a user on a faceless platform. Traveling.com aspires to make logistics a joyful part of every travel adventure.
Empowered by Global Collaboration
Traveling.com operates under the umbrella of Travelier, a global travel technology group that boasts a portfolio including:
- 12Go – Southeast Asia's premier transport platform.
- Plataforma 10 – Leading bus booking service in Argentina.
- DeÔnibus – The intercity travel leader in Brazil.
- Bookaway – A well-known brand catering to travelers in the U.S. and Europe.
This collaborative effort spans 643,000 routes across 122 countries, ensuring that Traveling.com provides reliable experiences globally.
The Future of Travel Booking
As many outdated platforms continue to dominate the ground transportation market, Traveling.com offers a refreshing alternative: a modern design, transparent fees, and an unwavering emphasis on ease and trust.
CEO Ante Dageli? emphasizes,
"Traveling.com is more than just a rebrand; it's a transformative chapter for us. It’s a trustworthy platform where people can explore and find the best ways to travel, no matter where they go on earth."
