Flix bus actual availability Chamonix to Annecy

We need to get from Chamonix to Annecy later in September. There are buses on the schedule but when I look at next day buses, they are not running. How can I find out if buses are running when we need them? Apparently the schedule on the site is the regular schedule not the one modified due to COVID -- it shows buses but it also showed them for today and they are not running today due to COVID adjustments in the schedule which are not available that we can find)

We could change from Friday to Saturday departure if they are running on the weekends but not during the week. Their site is not clear about the actual rather than normal schedule.

Does anyone know a source of accurate information or if there are Flixbuses now running from Chamonix to Annecy.

We need to cancel Chamonix if we can't get a bus -- we cannot manage two train transfer trips with our luggage. (we are in Europe for 6 weeks and while our luggage is not enormous, it is also bigger than carry on and we are nearly 80 and managing it on trains is difficult for us)

Their own website where they sell the tickets would be the most accurate source of information
Having traveled with them before, I would conclude that there are just no buses scheduled from September 27 to the 31. They don't run everyday. Also, I would ask them on Facebook.

Janet, hoping I'm not misunderstanding your question but according to the Flixbus website, it looks like buses are running from Chamonix to Annecy only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in Sept. (I clicked at least 10 different weekday/weekend dates). I'm not sure why there would be a different schedule than what's published on the official website? They do say that "We regularly adjust the FlixBus network and adapt it to demand and current regulations..." but I don't imagine anyone has "insider" info regarding any possible changes you could count on? Am I missing something?

At least Fridays don't look to be an issue?

Long shot here: you could check with the Lac d'Annecy tourist information center if there are tours to Chamonix from Annecy, and add a day in Annecy. I don't think so, but it could be worth asking.
