Alsa Internacional SLU Lyon Barcelona recent customer reviews

The actual departing place at the bus stop in Lyon is impossible to find, it would be nice if there was a sign which indicates where the Alsa buses are departing. And also there was a delay of almost 2 hours, and there was no information at all.
