A bad start to the vacation. Last weekend, Owen, 21, left Paris to go on vacation by coach, via the company BlaBlaCar, on the Mediterranean coast, in the town of Vendres. But the trouble will start when, on a motorway rest area near Clermont-Ferrand, the young man will literally be forgotten by the bus driver during a toilet break, says the young man to TF1.
“Five minutes passed… only to realize I wasn’t on the bus. I no longer had any papers, no identity card,” Owen told the television channel. After managing to borrow a phone to call his mother, Owen gets a carpool from the bus company. But the problems won’t end there.
12 kilometers of walking to do
Because yes, the covoit’ drops him off in Béziers. Or a dozen kilometers from his vacation spot. An inconceivable night hike for mums. After contacting the entire Béziers taxi company, the mother finally managed to find an available driver for her son.
The young man will therefore arrive at his destination at two o’clock in the morning. A story that ends well. It should be noted that in compensation to Owen, the BlaBlaCar company fully reimbursed the missed trip.
