    EU-Spirit is a distributed, co-modal travel planning system that allows users to plan trips using multiple transportation methods across Europe. It provides real-time updates on delays, cancellations and traffic. Regional transportation agencies provide trip planning and real-time data for their local areas, while other providers handle long-distance travel by train, bus, ferry and air. The system uses a common XML format to share information between different agencies' travel planners. This allows a user to get directions and schedules for a multi-modal trip, see fares and environmental impact, and get updates on their journey in travel planners across Europe.
