If it's part of the Easy brand, I wonder if they'll charge extra for your luggage/skis?

I would expect so, for skis at least - there are a good number of people using the bus services without skis (Geneva locals without a car who have skis in resort, people hiring skis in resort etc) so it would make sense to have different prices. As long as the charges aren't too steep with skis i.e. no higher than current prices, I don't have a problem with it. It looks like a year round service too, so they wouldn't be carry many skis in summer.
Edit: in partnership with ChamExpress, so maybe they'll pop on here at some point and give some further details...?

Absolutely. A great service to be able to hop on and off at low prices - but not if everybody is expected to subsidise the cost of carrying some people's massive baggage! Those days are gone, hopefully.

Hi all. I can confirm that there are no additional baggage charges for skis/snowboards on the easyBus service. However, each person is limited to 1 x bag, 1 x ski/snowboard. Any excess and you buy another seat and pop your luggage on the seat, as per easyBus normal t&c's.
The website will be live for booking at www.easyBus.co.uk and www.easyBus.fr on Monday 01st December in the afternoon.
This service will suit both tourists and commuters alike and those on a budget.
Cheers.
Andrew

@Chamexpress, any chance of stopping at Sallanches?

Not at the moment. Sorry. It's a direct service. One stop in Cham. So the quickest way to get there by bus.
Guess you could go to Cham and take the train backwards to Sallanches? Still be cheaper?

Bit of a coup for you isn't it Andy?
Will travellers be able to book the transfer by ticking a few extra boxes when they buy their flight or is it purely through the Easybus site?
Also, when will you be rolling out the EasyChamExpressbus to EasyMorzExpressbus 2015/16 per chance?

Thanks Marcellus. Initially purely through the easyBus.co.uk and easyBus.fr websites from Monday 01st. Integration may follow in the future as additional routes are opened up. Can't comment any further than that I'm afraid.

friend saw one of the easyBus'es today in Cham!

A couple of my friends have now used this service, and have been very impressed indeed with it. No stops, no hassle. Just simple to and from direct travel. They really like the single route option with no drop-offs/pickups. A couple have been disappointed when it was fully booked and they've had to take something else.
I did see a negative rant on ChamSocial though, mentioning EasyBus in conjunction with ChamExpress, but I'm sure @Chamexpress know all about it. And all direct reports I've heard back have been very good.

Personally, I wouldn't want to trek through town from the train station with a suitcase and ski bag (unless I was staying at the Gustav). If travelling light, the easyBus would be perfect, though.

I saw my first easybus yesterday on the road from Geneva. Sounds a great service.
