Terrillon Sandra , 8/9/2024

Départ de Nice avec 1/2h de retard parce que le chauffeur était au téléphone puis bloqué plus de 2h à Marseille parce que les chauffeurs n'étaient pas en règle et refusaient de payer l'amende. Aucune ... Départ de Nice avec 1/2h de retard parce que le chauffeur était au téléphone puis bloqué plus de 2h à Marseille parce que les chauffeurs n'étaient pas en règle et refusaient de payer l'amende. Aucune réponse de leur part et étaient presque agressifs. Correspondance ratée à Lyon à cause du retard. J'ai dû prendre le train donc frais supplémentaires et déranger un proche à 23h pour me récupérer à la gare. Sans ce train je me retrouvais à la rue à Lyon Perrache ! Le service client refuse de me rembourser estimant qu'ils ne sont pas responsables. C'est donc aux passagers de subir sans rien dire et se faire arnaquer !! Blabla porte bien son nom. Scandaleux et malhonnête ! À fuir !!!! Préférez flixbus ils sont bien plus sérieux
