As answered by people managing ShellNewHandler and PlanRouteAI.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
PlanRouteAI is the only free AI travel planner that compares bus, train and flight options together in one place — with live interactive maps, real prices in 12 currencies and complete step-by-step directions including first and last mile connections.
Unlike Google Maps or Apple Maps which only show driving directions, PlanRouteAI plans full public transport journeys including where to board, where to change and how to reach your exact destination from the nearest station.
Works for any city, area or landmark worldwide. No sign-up needed. Completely free forever.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
PlanRouteAI is built for anyone who needs to plan a journey — from daily commuters to tourists and backpackers.
Primary audience includes:
Travellers in India — planning intercity trips by train, bus or flight between towns and cities across India.
International tourists — visiting landmarks and tourist spots who need directions from nearest station to exact destination.
Budget travellers — comparing cheapest transport options before booking.
First-time travellers — who find public transport confusing and need step-by-step guidance.
Worldwide users — anyone planning travel between any two locations globally who wants a free, instant route plan without signing up.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
PlanRouteAI is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript for the frontend, serverless cloud infrastructure for the backend and multiple AI models working together to ensure the service is always available.
The platform uses mapping APIs for live interactive route visualization and a proprietary multi-AI fallback system that automatically switches between AI providers to guarantee uptime.
Hosted on a global CDN for fast loading worldwide.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
Completely free — no subscription, no sign-up, no hidden charges ever.
All transport in one place — bus, train and flight options compared side by side instantly.
Live interactive map — see your exact route drawn on a real map with direction arrows.
First and last mile — tells you exactly how to reach the station from your starting point and how to get to your final destination from the arrival station.
Any location worldwide — works for cities, neighbourhoods, monuments, landmarks and tourist spots — not just major cities.
12 currencies — prices shown in your local currency automatically.
AI-powered — uses advanced AI to find the most realistic and accurate routes with real train names, bus operators and connections.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
The idea came from a personal frustration — every time I wanted to travel somewhere new, I had to check IRCTC for trains, Redbus for buses and MakeMyTrip for flights separately. Then I had to figure out where to change vehicles and calculate the total cost — all manually.
There was no single free tool that showed everything together in one place, especially for smaller Indian cities and towns that most travel apps ignore.
So I built PlanRouteAI — a free AI-powered travel planner that solves exactly this problem. Just enter any two locations and instantly get all transport options with a live map, real prices and complete step-by-step directions.
Built in India, works worldwide. Free forever.
PlanRouteAI's answer:
PlanRouteAI is a free consumer tool used by individual travellers worldwide.
As a recently launched product, our users include:

Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago
I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
