Our vision

We turn night journeys into a breeze for you. With only a few clicks you find the most suitable connection and the best offer from various operators.

We enable people to travel mindfully, while protecting the climate and connecting Europe.

What we stand for

Simple: You enter your desired departure place, destination and date – and you'll see all the available connections and tickets.

Independent: We do not favour any providers and do not offer tickets ourselves. You choose the best offer.

All over Europe: We are passionately working on achieving this.

Our story

Early 2022, Timo from Switzerland wanted to visit his girlfriend in the Netherlands. Like many people, he wanted to travel environmentally friendly, so he looked for a night train.

However, his search turned out to be complicated and time-consuming: He needed to visit every website of the various providers and collect all the available connections and prices himself.

Frustrated by this, Timo built the first prototype website which offers a search function for night trains in Switzerland and Germany – in his spare time! And he doesn't seem to be the only one frustrated by the search for night trains: the number of visitors exploded quickly!

Encouraged by the success, Timo got his two colleagues, Fabian and Niklas, on board at the beginning of 2024. Together, they launched the new search platform nightride.com in the summer of 2024.

Who we are

Nightride.com was founded by Timo Grossenbacher, Fabian Schneider, and Niklas Jäggi from Switzerland. Together with the company's employees and shareholders, they share a passion for night journeys.
