My son is due to fly out of Geneva on the 19th and needs to get there from Meribel. Unfortunately he booked the ticket before checking how he was going to get there and has just discovered the transfer services finish on the 15th and the trains will be on strike!
Does anybody have any local knowledge of busses or shared transport please. The only ones he has found are about 300€ and he just doesn't have the money.

Blablacar may be worth a try albeit a bit closer to the date of travel.

Notice in local bar
There’s usually a local that seasonal staff use

I believe he has already asked around but will suggest he trolls around the local bars again. Thank you.

Just thinking
Here in France the tourist information office is often the way to find out what’s available

That's a great tip thanks and I'll pass it on if things go pear shaped.
As it is he realised he hadn't actually paid for the flight, how he has survived for 3 months I don't know! He thinks he has managed to get a lift in a shared transfer on Friday to Geneva for €65 and will get a cheap hotel near the airport for an early flight on Saturday.
I hope not to be back here in a weeks time!
Thank you all for the advice.

Head full of snow, one track mind.
Daily deeds such as eating sleeping just get in the way ⛷⛷

Thank you, I also found Bens busses when I started looking but discounted them at the time as they only run on Saturday and Sunday and he needed a Thursday.
Anyway he has now confirmed with a company called Three Valleys so fingers crossed.
