The Inadequacy of Public Transport . . .

I have to go to Sophia Antipolis, and then drop off an envelope in Valbonne on my way home. From my house in Plascassier this is a simple round trip of 20 minutes by car. Being temporarily without the questionable luxury of a car, I have to undertake this by public transport. Because the buses, like most public transport here, don’t run to a regular schedule, it’s not a question of knowing that there’s a bus at, say, 20 past the hour. So I try to call the bus operating company for the times. Which bus operator, Envibus, TAM, STCAR? It becomes irrelevant as the phones remain unanswered.
