My wife along with two kids travelled twice in VRL service from Bijapur to Hyderabad and Hyderabad to Bijapur. The worstest experiance we faced at the receiving end. In both the trips, the bus arrived at the destination by 3 to 4 hours delay.
In first journey, the bus AC was not functioning, they changed another bus after midnight. Again in the border, they changed again another bus saying that the other bus not having route permit. They reach Hyderabad by 8:00 AM after delay of 3 hours.
In the second trip, today on 20.08.2013, the driver is very clever and intellegent and he has gone some where off the road for about 25 KM after Gulberga. They are supposed to reach here by 6:30 AM, That brought the bus to Sindhagi by 8:40 AM and still travelling. I hope in an hour time they will reach bijapur.
After enquirey from friends and collegues, I came to know that, this type of behavour is not new to VRL service especially on the route Hyderabad to Bijapur and Bijapur to Hyderabad.
There are no systems to check the delay in private buses. Now I will make sure that none of my collegues will travel VRL service from Bijapur to Hyderabad or Hyderabad to Bijapur.
I now strongly recommend not to travel VRL services atleast one busiest day. Was this information helpful? | 
VRL — Bus fare at double price than normal
VRL travel management are charging baseless to consumers at no genuine reason. Just because of long weekends or big festival is commencing they will double the bus fare for same service and bus. Please make a strict rules for the people who are doing day robbery.
