He hecho ese trayecto varias veces pero era la primera vez a través de BlaBlaCar. La salida de la Estación Sur (Méndez Álvaro) estaba prevista a las 10 horas. Llegué a la estación a las 8 horas. Me paré delante de los paneles de información esas 2 horas. No apareció nunca el anuncio del autobús (su puerta de embarque), ni de ningún autobús con destino a Francia en esas horas. Lo que sí aparecía era el retraso en la llegada de otros autobuses de BBC. Me dirigí a varios puntos de información, alarmado de que nada aparecía. Me rechazaron diciendo que no sabían nada de BlaBlaCar, que "iba a su aire". Además, desde hace muchas semanas la oficina de información de la Estación Sur de Autobuses está cerrada. Cuando se acercó la hora empecé a deambular por la planta baja de la Estación sin dejar de mirar a los paneles de información. A las 10 y media una joven que esperaba en una puerta, y que parecía acostumbrada al funcionamiento del lugar, me preguntó dónde iba. Me informó que mi autobús se había marchado a su hora ("Suelen salir del anden 20", me dijo) pero cuando le pregunté por qué no salía la información en los paneles y que nadie podía informar, se encogió de hombros y me deseó buena suerte. Considero esta operación, responsabilidad de BlaBlaCar, un fraude, un robo y con consecuencias personales importantes: debía presentarme en Lyon el sábado 16 a las 10 de la mañana. Era importante para mi. ¡Desgraciados!
