How these figures were found
Every figure is the lowest exact euro fare that searches on TransitScanner saw in the month, per route; fares converted from another currency are left out. A route needs at least 2 observations to be ranked, and journeys typically longer than 16 hours are not counted. Train against bus compares the cheapest fare seen in each mode for the same city pair, not the same departure. These are observed fares, not live quotes: availability and the final price are confirmed on the seller's own site. A route no one searched is not in the data.
