12Go review

12Go fills the gap the European apps leave in Asia. Its App Store listing says it covers over 70,000 locations in more than 140 countries and partners with over 13,000 travel companies and operators, with named rail partners including Vietnam Railways, Indian Railways (IRCTC), Sri Lanka Railways and Shinkansen. Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan get detailed destination lists, and trains share the search with buses, ferries, vans and flights. Results can be filtered by price range, departure time, station and operator. Payment is flexible, with cards, PayPal, UnionPay, AliPay, PromptPay, TrueMoney and bank transfer, and support runs 24/7 in several languages. The catches: services such as baggage upgrades, priority support and SMS trip notifications are sold as extras, and its rail coverage outside Asia is thin.
