Lost in Transportation – Recover Items from Planes, Trains, and Taxis

Losing belongings during transportation is one of the most common travel mishaps. From items forgotten in airplanes and trains to belongings left behind in buses, taxis, or ride-sharing vehicles, recovery can be challenging because you’ve already moved on to the next destination. The HERQ Lost & Found app and the RewardHero platform make it simple to report lost items instantly, notify nearby users, and connect with transport staff and fellow passengers to increase recovery chances.

Commonly Lost Items in Transportation

• Planes – phones, headphones, books, and passports left in seat pockets or overhead bins.
• Trains – bags, umbrellas, laptops, and coats forgotten in compartments or racks.
• Buses – backpacks, wallets, or water bottles left under seats or storage areas.
• Taxis & Ride-shares – phones, handbags, or small items that fall between seats.
• Ferries & Boats – jackets, cameras, or bags left in lounges or cabins.
