Since there is no traditional long distance car service threatened by it (the SNCF isn't worried for the moment), I'd say blablacar is safe.

True that they don't annoy any powerful union, or company.

I would say that the SNCF actually is worried by Blablacar and other companies. See their extensive PR campaigns about their own (inferior) ride-sharing services.

Ha, I'm too disconnected, I never saw these services. 'idvroom' name doesn't ring much but time will tell. They fishing for low hanging fruits, they have other problems to deal with instead...
