BlaBlaBus Paris Bilbao recent customer reviews
We booked ticket month in advance, but we're assigned seat in the last row, even though tickets were available two days ago. This is completely in acceptable as we got the worse seats for a 12 hour journey. I will never travel with blablacar bus and won't recommend it to anyone
