Best spring ever for ‘Macron coaches’

The regular train strikes in the period are thought to be the reason why 2.4million people took “Macron coaches” (Flixbus, Ouibus, Isilines) - so-called from a 2015 law on ways to boost the economy, including opening up the coach market, when Emmanuel Macron was economy minister.

The coach companies saw profits rise by 40% in the best quarter for the sector since the 2015 changes.
