>>1933890French anon here, as for me, Blablacar is my last resort when I am not able to find a plane or train ticket to travel between Paris and another city. I am always reluctant to use Blablacar because of the following reasons :
-The driver could be a total retard (for instance : once I've got a driver who was black, in his 50s, dead tired, he was trying to sing and drink water to stay awake, more than once I've had to hold the steering wheel for him while being on the highway, otherwise only God knows what would have happened)
-Passengers traveling with you could be either dirty/smelly, talkative, eating food and so on (pick up the option that you prefer)
-The car that you're traveling on is either dirty too, or too cramped/small, or uncomfortable for long road journeys
-And naturally, we're in France : expect road works all along the ride, traffic jams at the entrance of cities, which means that a simple hop between two cities that are 300 kilometers apart (too lazy to do the conversion in imperial units) could take you more than 4/5 hours
Naturally, all of these points can be combined.
On the other hand, I am not really complaining : I got what I paid for, I know what to expect, and honestly, there is no other means of transportation that will take me from Paris to Lyon for less than 30 euros on a last minute booking
