BlaBlaBus Lyon Grenoble recent customer reviews

I was due to travel from Lyon Airport to Grenoble on the BlaBlaBus 7057 line at 15:00 on 18th May 2022. After receiving an email at 15:04 advising that the bus was delayed, I was forced to wait in the extreme heat outside until the bus arrived at 16:05, whether this was the same bus or a replacement i do not know, as it picked us up from a different stop. I could not go back into the airport as I was not informed when the bus would arrive, and thus could not risk missing it.
