My wife and I will be traveling from Geneva to Turin with the least connection. We know there is not direct trains between these two cities. Need to know best website to purchase train tickets. Easy to navigate and able to pay with credit card. Also that we can select the seats.

rome2rio.com (ALWAYS)

Bus is faster and direct - no connections.
If you want to take the train then look on the swiss rr website sbb.ch

There are usually 4 daily buses trough the Mont Blanc Tunnel, except Wednesday and Thursday. Journey time 4 1/2 hrs, Fare 18 EUR
google for flixbus
Trains are more comfortable, but slower and more expensive (5 1/2 hrs, standard fare 120 EUR, but often huge discounts).
There are 6 daily trains with only 1 change, either at Milan (big station and long ways) or at Chambery (smaller station and short ways).

Great. Thank you so much

Thank you so much

Thank you I think my wife will prefer the train

Thank you. Is there a better train company or all train running on the specific day are from the same company? How far in advance can we purchase the tickets?

If you want to take the train then look on the Swiss national RR website sbb.ch

One of the good things about the train are the views, plus you can walk around if you want.
You can also book using The Trainline https://www.thetrainline.com/trains/europe or Rail Europe https://www.raileurope.com/en-gb

I checked the trainline and searched for tickets for Sunday October 15. There is nothing for Sunday but some for Monday. Does it mean that all trains are sold out for that day?

Nothing is sold out. Some timetables are even not yet published today
