Free Transfer with Air France coaches between CDG & ORY

I have a newbie question.
FB website says Platinum member gets "Free transfers run between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports on AIR FRANCE coaches."
Is that talking about "les cars" line 3? How does it work?
Can I also take different lines for free???

Yes that's it. You just take this bus and show your platinum card to the driver.
The other lines (CDG to/from Paris and ORY to/from Paris) are not free.

It makes me wonder if there are some nutters who actually travel, say, BOD-ORY (plane) -- CDG-LIL (TGV) with the 3 hour connection one needs to count for the complete ORY-CDG bus transfer? I suspect they might be nearly as fast walking!!

Does anybody know, if only AFKL gold and plat cards are accepted in the bus or is this valid for all ST Elite+ cards or do other elites have to get a voucher from the customer service desk?

Nah, one can have to do BRU (ZYR as it is officially called)/CDG//ORY/CFE as I just did. In case you wonder why, there was not CDG/CFE flight at this time of day.

Was given Les Cars AF voucher at BRU (ZYR) station together with train coupon. Was it due to my FB Plat status?

no apparently it is extended to those flight-train itineraries for all, but as plat you would have got it for another (non generally eligible) itinerary ie plane-plane.

Do accompanying family members of a FB Platinum member get a free ticket as well?
