Bus location confusing to find, a few signs would help rather than having to ask at information which is not very accurate

Seems like I got off the wrong stops. I showed my e- ticket to driver. He has no idea what I said, so I walked for 39 minutes to the correct stop. I was happy that finally I got to the right place.

Enjoyed the smooth ride going to Annecy; Didn't like the fact that there was no notification to passengers (eg SMS) if the bus had arrived at the waiting/boarding area

I couldn’t find it, there’s a lack of signage and directions and all the coach drivers I asked ‘where to go?’ They was very unhelpful which meant I missed the bus
