I faced mental harassment...

Hi, I have booked ticket PNR no: TS[protected]VFWY/6234803/OTT - 123 (sleeper) on date 27/12/2017 by selecting options Hyderabad to Eluru. But I came to know this bus was dropped Eluru by pass which is far 6km from city. How the passenger travel to Eluru city early morning that too women. When I gave dropping position Eluru it should mention dropping point is Eluru by pass, then i couldn't book this bus and choose other bus operator. This is totally misleading information what it is showing onweb site. When I called to redbus customer care people they are arguing with me its complete responsible of bus operator only. I am requesting to refund complete amount to me.

Hello,

I had book a force 13 seater for shirdi with a full payment in advance.

To my surprise it was a winger which i had received. With no help from redbus on sunday morning, i had no option but procced with the trip. Causing 90 min delay due to the hiccup and chain of vendors talking to each other.

Further, the vehicle that was provided was in such a condition that i doubted if we would travel safely. (Pics attached)

The middle seat was moving head when applying breaks as one was the bolt was off from the base.

This was a pathetic service from redbus. I am expecting a refund for the same.

Hi,

I had booked the ticket from goa to hyderabad dated 25th december 2017 from "red bus" website. After booking, i got the ticket confirmation message in which there was a contact number of bus agency (Dhanunjaya bus).
On the day of travel i tried that number so many times but sometimes number was out of range, sometime no one picked my call etc.
As per the message, boarding point was (Panjim near ktc bus stand) and departure time was 7:00 pm.
I reached there at 6:30 pm and was trying to contact continuously, after so many attempt they picked my call said bus will reach at 8:30 pm and boarding point will be same.
I contacted red bus customer care also for the same and they were also unable to tell me the exact scenario.
On the call i explained that i am traveling alone and this boarding area is not at all safe and requesting them to give me exact situation.
After 9:00 pm also, red bus customer care were not at all cooperating with me, they kept my call on hold for more than 1/2 hour.
Form 7:00 to 9:00 pm, i faced lots of mental harassment and local people found me alone and was trying to abuse me.
Since red bus executives were unable to reply me and just giving excuses, i decided to leave that area but that area was desolate.
Since 25th was christmas eve so i was not able to found any taxi or local transport from there.
I walked 6 to 7 km just to find taxi and during that, being a single girl in a desolate area, i faced lots of challenges.
This is all because of red bus executives because they just passed the time and misguided me.
Luckily i found taxi which charged rs 1000 for airport and bought the ticket from the airport counter at rs 6953.

Following are the details:

Ticket no - tkd[protected]
Pnr - dan141963-hyd-002
Travels - dhanunjaya bus
Journey date - 25th of december 2017
Boarding point - panjim (Near ktc bus stand)
Travel bus contact number - [protected]
Bus fare - 2232
Taxi number from panjim to goa airport - ga.05. T.1557
Taxi fare form panjim to gao airport - 1000
Flight ticket from goa to hyderabad - indigo (Fare 6953)
Uber cab from hyderabad airport to my home - rs 809

Compensation of mental harassment can not be recovered but i want all my money back which i had to spend because of red bus irresponsible behavior and negligence.

Total amount for refund - rs 8762

I am also attaching the picture and screen shots of ticket, taxi etc

Note: if i will not get my compensation within a week then i will file a complain in consumer court.

Thanks.

Hi team,

I have booked a bus ticket in redbus mobile application. The ticket is from bangalore to goa and the travel date is 29/12/2017. Ticket id is tkd[protected]. Due to some plan change i want to cancel my travel tickets. I called to redbus customer care on 16/12/2/017 but they told that amount is not refundable as per cancellation policy.

While i booked the tickets we checked the cancellation policy and it was not mentioned that amount is not refundable in their mobile application policies. Please find the attached screenshot. When we raised the same concern with redbus team they denied to accept their mistake in mobile application and responded that the cancellation policy is mentioned in e-ticket issued after booking the ticket. Before booking the tickets they showed one policy while issuing the ticket they are enforcing another policies. You can check the attached screenshots for your reference.

Now a days its very common to cancel tickets with cancellation charges. I have given around 15 days prior notice to cancel my tickets but they are not refunding the amount back. How come they expect their customers to loose their 100% amount without travelling or using their services. It is so unfair to charge 100% from the customer and giving irresponsible answers to their queries.

I request akosha team to take this issues to concerned authorities and solve this problem. I hope your team can solve this problem and stand besides customers.

Thanks & regards,
Arun,

I made a booking from pune to vapi and the seat allotted to me was already provided to someone else. I was asked to cooperate and wait till i was allocated the seat. There were other seats with the same issue. So i lost 1 hour sorting out all the problems plua 1 hour till a seat was allocated to me. This is really frustrating service by redbus and paulo travels.

Today i went through a very painful and unfortunate incident of not being able to travel even after doing the booking and even after being present at the spot 30 minutes earlier to the scheduled departure.

That's because i had by mistake booked a female passenger seat.

It is my mistake i didn't notice that it was ladies seat.

But having said this, the bus operator should also have informed me about...

Hi there, pnr#[protected]. As i'm first time customer using your service through app. I booked ticket bus# rj19-pb-3378 (Shreenath travels) bus was so dirty. The quality was so worst, didn't clean seats. You can clearly see dirt coming out of seats. How come you mention it iso 9001 certification??? Even bus operator was so rude including staff. Apart from that staff stops every city (Highway points) for earning extra money to ride local peoples other than reservation customer. It was hardly to move around. It feels like going in mumbai local train!!! What's point to book reservation seat & paying extra. Also random people travels with you, what's security of your luggage & safety. Please contact me & do some action.

I dr. D. Kothandan booked tickets having ticket no ticket no: tkcw17116743 and pnr no pnr no: ts[protected]drhl/63436/nshk srhd bng on 16/dec/2017 through red bus from shiridi to bangalore, at last movement message came the bus was cancelled and said me they will refund money, but they have not even arranged another bus for us. My family members suffered a lot. But still they have not refund my money back..
I would request to you to take action on red bus to refund money and make a justice for me.

I had booked an outstation trip but cancelled next day. Trip was on 22nd i cancelled on 15th. I mailed them about cancellation as they requested. Inspite of calling multiple times, the cancellation is not done and i got trip details on 21st. This is very disappointing. I have called around 20 times and their customer support is not at all responding properly. Nobody picks, i have to try 10 times to connect.

I have booked ticket from pune to mumbai through red bus on 16th dec. Boarding time was 4.41 am and bus didn't come till 5.50 am, i called all available operators number multiple times but no one picked my call. So i called red bus customer care and they said we are canceling your ticket and initiating refund. However its been 6 days and there is no refund. Whenever i call red bus customer care, they say will update you in 24 hrs however nobody gives any update anytime. This is pure cheating. I was suppose to go mumbai for job interview and because of them i have lost an opportunity. Now they are not refunding my money.

I booked a bus tkt from hyd to chirala on nov 13th in redbus app, at boarding time the bus was cancelled they arranged a/c bus, but i am unable to travel on that a/c bus bcoz of personal problem in winter season. I didn't travel on that day, i called to travel operated and informed that i didn't want to travel on a/c bus. After that they said tkt was cancelled and the money will refund to u within 3-4days. Till now i didn't receive any refund. I spoke to redbus customer 5-6times but no use of it.
