Interesting website Trabber Here are the people behind Trabber

and some history about them

History

This project has evolved since its beginning.

The initial project was to develop a search engine over SMS that allows a user to find the best deal for a flight from anywhere using an SMS.

Later on, we decided to build a search engine for brick&mortar travel agencies, this time via web and reusing the search engine spider. This specialized search engine was successfully used by several Spanish agencies.

In the middle of 2005 we decided to open the search engine to everybody and Trabber was born.

Like most of you, we really enjoy travelling.

NYC new Congestion Pricing or Fees or Tax depending on which side of the fence you are on <<< Global Warming

Read on PhysOrg.com The most controversial idea in the plan ( NYC Plan 2030 ), from the mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability , is a proposal to charge motorists for driving into Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Trucks would be charged $21 a day and cars would be charged $8, on top of the city's already expensive parking. It is similar to a system that London (Congestion Charge) has used since 2003, and officials there say it has significantly reduced congestion. The scheme applauded by environmentalists and alternative transportation groups , but is politically tricky for New York City because it would have to be enacted by the state Legislature , and many lawmakers from outer boroughs and the suburbs may not support it.
