Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

Hi,
I have booked a bus in red bus in Mettur Super Services for my journey on January 25, 2018. The bus was cancelled due to bandh and I received an SMS that the money will be refunded. I called the customer care several times. But still it's not fruitful. I did not receive my refund.
Kindly look into this matter and do the needful.

Thank you

Date of incident : 14/02/2018
Travelling from : ANGAMALY - BANGALORE

Me and My husband booked ticket via Redbus, the bus operators was KERALA LINES. The bus type which was mentioned in redbus was "Scania Multi axle". We expecially searched for "Scania" bus and booked by paying an amount of 2100INR. How-ever we got cheated and the bus type which came was old model VOLVO. The bus condition was very bad, too noisy. The journey was not at all comfortable. If this was the condition, we had many other options to book for the journey. We wont have opted for this bus, since its expensive. There are many other VOLVO buses available for cheaper price or KSRTC bus even.

I have attached the snapshots stating these. Also you can see the bus number which I got as message is same as in image.

I had booked a bus ticket (Mumbai-pune, neeta tours and travels) online through redbus on 4th feb 2018. The bus was supposed to depart at 3:55 pm from my stop. The bus got delayed by over an hour without prior notice. At 4 40 pm i received the message from the operator of the bus that the bus has changed and it will be delayed etc. I had to book another bus and filed a complaint online for refund. It has been 10 days since the complaint has been registered and the refund has still not even been initiated. I have followed up with customer care at least 6 times during this week. Every time a new executive answers the call and gives wrong information about the status of the refund. For the past 2 days the executives have been confidently stating that the refund has been initiated and it will be credited by eod. However nothing has reflected in my account as yet nor have i received any kind of communication regarding the same. The customer executives refuse to connect my calls to senior management stating that they are busy attending other calls. They promise a call back which do not happen at all. I need to get the refund initiated as soon as possible. Thanks

I was booking the ticket with for my journey from pune to byndoor for 7 feb, 2017 sugama tourists and i was in payment page
For booking tickets for 3 passengers. I initiated the payment of
2443rs. The app was showing 'request cannot be processed due to problem with operator' error.

I thought this is some genuine error and i have not taken the screenshot of the error message. If i knew that this would happen
Next, i would have surely taken screenshot to make a compliant!
I trusted this app that the ticket booking won't happen and continued booking my bus ticket with srs. I booked tickets for 3
Passengers t. I made a payment of 2883rs. For the same.
I got the ticket from srs as the ticket is confirmed and got the confirmation at 10.34pm.
2 minutes later, i got the ticket confirmation from redbus that my sugama tickets is confirmed at 10.36pm.
How this would happen when the ticket booking is cancelled, your ticket is booked without your consent?
I have attached the whatsapp confirmation message confirming the ticket is booked with srs at 10.34pm and with sugama at
10.36pm.

I had raised customer query for the same and all response i got from the customer care was to share the screenshot of the error. I had shared the ticket details, the payment deductions screenshots at 10:32pm and 10:34pm and requested them to resolve the issue.

The customer care didnt acknowledge any of my requests and didnt resolved my issue. After 1 week of follow up, the sent an email saying the ticket booking was normal and there urno error and this is your resolution.

I tried replying this and also tried contacting [protected]@redbus.in, but there is no response.

Sir/ma'am,

I make created ticket from kota to jaipur on 7th feb, 2018 for 9:00pm.

When i received ticket immediately i recieved call from shrinath travel agancy. He told me, "the bus for which you booked ticket is already cancelled, you have to go by other bus", and he offered me bus which will be on 11:30pm.

But i have to go early that's why i booked ticket for 9:00pm. So i told him, i don't want to go so late. If you have other bus service on about same time, then it will be ok. But he denied for same.

So this not my fault, if bus was cancelled, ticket should not be created, why travel agency informed after created ticket, same bus should not be shown at the time of creation ticket in app.

So that i could not traveled by that bus due to travel agency's fault, and i have to create ticket again and traveled by other bus service.

After that i dropped mail to red bus to refund but they are saying, travel agency is telling bus was not cancelled, while i have audio recording of same call with travel agency.

This is gap of communication between travel agency and redbus/phonepe.
App should be updated as per bus services of travel agencies.

I had to suffer because of your fault, i told him "please think why i got tickets from other service for same time same day. What can i do if agency is lying."

But red bus is not refunding my amount, please help me.

Thanks

Dear team,

Refund amount of my failed transaction is not credited in my account even though it is given on mail by redbus team that amount will be credited within 7 working days. Also, there is no revert on my follow up mails.
On-call support guy named
Amol alange said the transaction is initiated but he isn't giving confirmation on the same.

I booked a bus in red bus.in on 6th of february from sathi pallu 507303 to hyderabad, telangana. But the bus got broke down and i was forced to buy another ticket in another bus service for my travel that to in worst hours after 11 pm. And even after raising a complaint with red bus, the website people are not providing me a refund for the worst experience i have gone.

Bus is worst and is not worth the ticket pricing. I have booked three tickets from hyderabad to belgaum, date of travel: 8-2-2018. Passengers before our seats started drinking and we have informed driver about this. Driver said drinking is not allowed in the bus and kept quiet. We asked him to go and stop it. He says, he is the driver and he can't stop it. Bus no. Is ar01h5212 boarded at 7:20pm at miyapur, hyderabad

Srs travels - karaikudi to bangalore

Trip ref: tm2a10380548
Supposed date of travel 30: jan 2018

Bus cancelled by srs travels and called up to let us know on morning of day of travel
- despite booking 3 weeks ago for a senior member of family. Some # alternate arrangement offered
- i was asked to redbus booking portal for a full refund

Called up redbus 3 times since then, and it has been 10 days now, and all i get back from redbus support agents is
"our concerned department looking into it, will revert back within end of day"
It looks like their end-of-day is forever, and i have not received a refund or any revert whatsoever till now!!

What a # experience with redbus and srs travels.. What used to be a once very good service, redbus is now fast becoming a crappy totally undependable place to make any booking..

I was travelling with sea bird bus - ka 01aa 2509 on 4th feb, from belagavi to bengaluru, via hubli.

Bus breakdown near davangere and there was no alternate transport provided by sea bird. We were left shivering in cold night.

I had to arrange my own transport.

Ticket no - tm3592649

Please check if travel company refunds customer in case of bus breakdown as it heavily adds to travelers inconvenience.

Further your customer care againt said to stay over there and bus conductor will contact me but i have not received any call. I have lot of trouble and also unable to catch bus.

I booked a ticket from Chennai to Bangalore on 8/1/2018 in Kallada G4 travels through Red Bus but the service got cancelled that day and it has been nearly a month now that i have been asking red bus customer care for refunds but hav not got refund yet.

Every time i talk to the customer care they say it will be refunded in 5 workings days. But i haven't got any!

I am soo much irritated with this. Do not book tickets with Red Bus. They dont value their customer!

I booked a ticket for two from Siliguri to Kolkata for 2/2/2018 after the payment was made I Realised the date booked was 1/2/2018. I immediately called the company's customer service located in Kolkata who informed me that I couldn't get a refund neither they could modify for 2nd Feb 2018.I had to book another ticket for 2nd Feb but I would like a clarification from the redbus why can't they simply modify my booking and change for the next day it was a genuine mistake from my side and I acknowledge that but I was not asking for refund but to change the travel date which redbus customer service denied. What would the company do regarding this they could charge a cancellation or modifications fee but to simply say it's non refundable does really make me feel sad that my hard earned money has gone for a company that boast about giving excellent customer service and outstanding travel service.
Hope redbus management handles it more appropriately and does something regarding their date modification .

I had booked a bus with redbus for travel on jan15th from chennai to palani. Travels name is sri sst. We got to know from travels that bus got cancelled due to mechanical problem. But as per red bus the travel is still on. Informed red bus immediately but no action from red bus. The ticket is still not refunded.

I had also raised complaint with redbus. Complaint # 2906828.

No action yet. The ticket is still not refunded
