On the other hand, some customers found the booking process easy and had positive experiences with comfortable seats and acceptable prices. However, there are also negative reviews describing blablabus as "depressingly awful" and unacceptable without providing further details.

BlaBlaBus Marseille Nice recent customer reviews

The booking is easy,though why I had an E-mail to tell me that the bus pick-up point in Nice had changed when it was exactly the same as on our original booking info I do not know. I also had an E-mail 24 hours before travelling with exactly the same info I had on my initial booking,Why? no point really. The bus left Marseille on time but due to a regulated stop for the driver -30 minutes- we arrived in Nice at 12..10 instead of 11..35, not the end of the world but that should have been factored in. The trip was good ,the seats comfortable and the price acceptable.

Both times I have taken blablabus, the driver has stopped for what was supposed to be a quick stop and turned into a 30-40 minute break. In this case I was on a. Deadline to get to the airport and I almost missed my flight as a result. Why were we stopping for 30 minutes when we were on schedule during a 2 hour drive to the airport. Being on time, especially for airport trips, should be a priority. This stop was extremely long and unnecessary. There was no traffic. I will never take blabla again
