Bus was late and I did not receive notifications from your app. No chat or way to contact any regarding status.

The driver took good care of us and our luggage, which we really appreciated. However, the seating arrangement seemed to be an issue. Even though there were enough seats for everyone, it created unnecessary concern about where people were sitting. This was the only drawback in an otherwise pleasant trip

According to multiple reviews, the service is efficient and pleasant with a fair price. However, some passengers have expressed discomfort when seated on the last row of the bus during long travel times due to being surrounded by people who lack hygiene.

BlaBlaBus San Sebastian Bordeaux recent customer reviews

Passengers with long travel time should not be seated on the last road of the bus. It's very uncomfortable being seated between people on both sides and people which lack on hygiene.

ALSA San Sebastian Bordeaux recent customer reviews

The taller driver was really helpful in loading the bags and getting us on the way. The shorter driver drove the rest of the way and was too jolty - slammed the brakes on a lot. Also they didn’t seem to care that other passengers didn’t stick to the assigned seating which made it very difficult to find a seat and myself and my two friends had to be separated all over the bus. The aircon also stayed off which made the bus way too hot and humid and smelly. Absolutely not a good experience.
