I really like Capitaine Train when I need to book seats for train, their web app has a very clean design and is just well-thought for anybody that only wants a train ticket, and not hotel or planes like Voyages-SNCF does.
I stumbled on their site earlier this morning, I strongly approve of its design.
I'm still wondering how many potential users they're losing by forcing registration and having a "software" type of website...
I've been using Capitaine Train for several years now, and I won't go back to Voyages-SNCF. The web app is so much cleaner and faster, and their support is much more responsive.
Is it just me, or does the linked article read like an ad?
That's what happens when startups build good products. Blogs get behind it. A previous article from the same blog: http://wp.me/p2OgMk-29t "SNCF iOS app now stores user info. Can Capitaine Train compete?" [ Dec. 2012]
