Blablacar/Flixbus abandonnent leurs passagers en route mais personne ne peut rien dire, voici pourquoi

Apr 12, 2025

Des pratiques légales qui provoquent toutefois de grosses controverses. Publié le 12 avril 2025 à 7 h 53 min 𝕏 1 sur 10 000 c’est la proportion de passagers que BlaBlaCar laisserait sur le bord de la route lors des transports en bus longue distance. Bien sûr, cette statistique peut paraître limitée, mais, dans certains cas précis, dont la presse se fait l’écho, ces abandons peuvent laisser des clients livrés à eux même dans des situations forts peu agréables, comme des nuits froides d’hiver au beau milieu d’une aire d’autoroute. Une volonté de respecter les délais L’UFC-Que Choisir a justement mené l’enquête sur ce phénomène. Les grandes compagnies comme Flixbus ou BlaBlaCar ne nient d’ailleurs pas du tout son existence. Ainsi, Flixbus a inscrit dans ses conditions de vente que son personnel est en droit de continuer le voyage, et ce, même si un passager manque à l’appel. Un porte-parole indique ainsi : « Si on commence à attendre celui qui a envie de finir sa cigarette ou qui hésite trop longtemps entre acheter des KitKat ou des M&M’s, les retards s’accumulent et l’organisation ne tient plus. » Les transporteurs assument donc cet état de fait. Interrogés par l’association de défense des consommateurs, ils expliquent qu’il n’y a pas vraiment d’alternative si l’on veut se montrer ponctuel et respecter les horaires indiqués. Et ce d’autant plus que certains clients ont des correspondances à respecter, un peu comme pour les autres moyens de transport (train, avion). Des clients bientôt mieux protégés ? Attention toutefois, ces entreprises sont tenues de faire arriver leurs clients à bon port. Comme l’explique Aurélien Gandois, directeur des activités bus de BlaBlaCar : « Nous prenons en charge le trajet des personnes oubliées, soit en leur appelant un taxi, soit en les faisant monter dans un bus qui arrive après ». Il y a toutefois certains ratés dans ces mesures. Que Choisir fait part d’un jugement qui a condamné FlixBus à indemniser une passagère qui avait été laissée sur une aire d’autoroute en Belgique. Et ce d’autant plus qu’elle a dû rejoindre la Hollande par ses propres moyens et qu’elle n’a pas pu récupérer ses affaires. Une décision qui pourrait faire jurisprudence et qui obligera sans doute les compagnies à perfectionner leurs procédures de rapatriement des passagers. Ce qu’il faut retenir : Il arrive régulièrement que des passagers des transports en bus longue distance restent sur le bord de la route Les compagnies assument ces pratiques pour des raisons de ponctualité Elles s’engagent cependant à assurer le voyage du client par d’autres moyens (taxi, ou bus suivant) 📍 Pour ne manquer aucune actualité de Presse-citron, suivez-nous sur Google Actualités et WhatsApp .
