As the series on Saybus’s involvement in the transport of accredited guests to the host cities of the 2024 Olympic Games draws to a close, let’s take a look at the drivers of the SME members of the Réunir association group, in particular Pinet coaches and SCAL (Société des Cars Alpes Littoral) under the leadership of Frédéric Pinet and Yann Pellegrin.
A fast-paced day
In the host cities, their daily routine was intense and varied: providing shuttle services to guarantee the mobility of accredited persons, transporting athletes, sometimes under police escort, so that they could shine in their events, and carrying out a variety of journeys requiring rigour and flexibility.
‘A typical day consists of site-to-site transport and transporting athletes under police escort – it’s a real treat! – Kamel Lehchili, driver for Pinet coaches.

‘It’s a great experience to transport the athletes during the Olympic Games’ – Sophie Mayans, driver for the SCAL Group
An unfailing commitment
With their busy and constantly changing schedules, these professionals have demonstrated their faultless organisation to ensure the success of this global event.
They embody the family spirit and good atmosphere that characterise the SMEs of the Groupe Associatif Réunir. 👏
Christophe Humbert ran the Cabane Chez Tof and cooked for the drivers based in Marseille. Driver comfort and good humour were at the heart of his concerns!
‘It’s our own little Olympic village,’ he declares.
‘For the end of my career, it’s really an extraordinary experience. I’m very happy to have done it.’ – Luc Rocher, driver for the SCAL Group
‘Working for the Olympic Games is both an opportunity and an honour for me’ – Bouras Abdelhak, driver for the SCAL Group
Thank you to these everyday heroes, the real pillars of mobility at the Games, for their professionalism and passion! 🌟
