Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

PFA of bus seats conditions. Bus number is 8200. I have booked this bus from Nagpur to raipur almost 7 hour journey .
The bus condition is very bad and trying to push too many unreserved passenger.
They have used plywood for extra sitting over the back seaters.
They charged almost 1000 INR which is too much for that type of bus and 500 INR for unreserved person who is actually sitting in bus floor and top of the plywood.
Which is totally unprofessional.

Date 13-oct-2017, 10:30pm,
Booking in ;mahaveer travels,
Ahmedabad to jodhpur,
Bus no.3869 (Bus name jakhar),

The bus was taken from barmer to balotara for parcels & returned back to barmer & then taken to jodhpur. Bus reached at 9:45am instead of 7:30am. Dropped last at shamikpura instead of written drop at "kalpatru".

Also below all seats as well as in dikki, parcel luggage was filled in all space. There was no space in bus for passenger luggage. Now onward i will never book in mahadev travels

Please do needful. Waiting for your response

I booked a seat online in aug.17 for my son to travel from pune to indore on 14.10.2017 by paying three times of normal fair rs.1986/- (Ticket no. Tk9e29999325, pnr[protected]. As he received sms, he was waiting for the scheduled bus mp 09 fa 7580, from 17.30 hrs to 23.30 hrs at boarding point nishant travels. Bus did not come. He therefore had no way except to travel by other bus, so he did and paid fair again. He had to travel by sitting whole night in driver's cabin. I request redbus to look into matter and refund the fair paid by me.

Kindly do the needful. Money is not single penny, it is 1810 rupees, a huge amount for me. I have been doing all my transactions through red bus. It reflects the image of the website.

Kindly do me the needful and let me know the refund status.

I have taken khushi travels just for the sake of the dropping point (Shollinganallur). It was near my home only but that traveller dropped me 20 km before my dropping point saying that this is the last stoppage.
I have spent 1000 rs just for one seat from bangalore to chennai thinking of reaching it by 6 hours but it took 10 hours. No ac, no water, no pillow was provided inside the bus. Shameless redbus travellers.

I booked bus ticket from patna to jamshedpur on 5th oct 2017 from redbus & my date of journey was on 6th oct but due to some cause i cancelled my ticket. Today its been 6 days but still i haven't got my refund back to my bank account.

I had a journey on 2nd october 2017 from kundapura to bangalore in sri durgamba travels. But due to bus issues people were not agree to travel in that bus. Bus went back to depot. Then on 3rd october i contacted sri durgamba travels for my refund. They told to contact redbus. I contacted red bus through call and they are telling me to wait 24 hrs. Each and every time when i call them they are telling like this only. Today is 10th october. I contacted again bus operator and they are telling that they told them (Redbus) to refund my amount. But the problem is in redbus. So please kindly check my complaint.

This is a complaint against both redbus and an operator kanchan holidays.
1: kanchan holidays: ticket number tkaz67647621
I was travelling on kanchan holidays a/c sleeper (Z-1) from mumbai to sangamner on 8th of october 2017. My phone (Moto m rose gold) was stolen on board, a search of the passengers (No one had gotten on or off) turned up nothing as such there is a possibility that a member of the staff was involved and i need to get the relevant details for my police report. Even if no staff were involved i think kanchan holidays still has to answer for failing to protect their passengers safety and possessions, if a phone can be so easily stolen and "vanished" off a moving bus then it calls into question what they are doing to protect their passengers. I need contact details for kanchan holidays so i can contact their representative before filing my police report, i also need to know if there were any active cctv installed in the bus before i file the report. Please understand that as i view it kanchan holidays has as good as aided and abetted this crime by allowing conditions amenable to the phone getting stolen to exist if they have not provided cctv coverage.

2. Redbus
Redbus grievance redressal system doesnt cover any situation in which the person loses their phone on board the bus and cannot access their redbus app since they no longer have possession of their phone, sim or email account, please correct this or allow me to access alternate methods for grievance redressal at the earliest.

Please treat this as a serious incidence a crime occured on board a bus of a company that is affiliated with your platform. I am going to hold the concerned people to account even if my losses are made good, and claim damages and hold them responsible if they arent.
Please respond, stealing a phone is a crime and crime is an urgent and serious issue and i am willing to escalate this issue to the highest legal, social and police platforms available to me.

Dear sir,
I had booked non ac bus ticket from jamshedpur to gaya dated on 08/10/17 in maharani express for my father in law but when we reached bus stand to catch the bus then bus staff told us bus was cancelled because of some technical problems but we did not get any prior notification for it. And we also requested them to please arrange some alternative bus then he gave me sleeper seat sharing with other person. But my father was not comfortable with this seat so we payed again full seat charge for sleeper. This was really very embarrassing incident for us.
So i humbly requesting you to please look on this matter and helps for comfortable and ethically journey in india.

Thanks & regards,
Asit kr. Choudhary

I had booked 5 bus tickets (Pune to ahmadabad) on 6 oct 2017.
Ticket no.-tkb[protected]

We are waiting for bus on our boarding point for a bus. But suddenly we got a call from bus driver and he said that bus can't come to my pickup point and i have to come to another boarding point. Which is not possible for me so i refuse to come to another point. After many arguments they agrees to come to my boarding point. Then we wait there for at least for 2 hours from 6 pm to 8 pm but bus didn't come. When i tried to contact driver his phone was switched off. So we contact redbus but their lines are busy for 30 to 40 minutes. So we feel helpless and cheated and returned to our home. So we got cheated by redbus. We demand our refund and penalty on redbus for their wrong business practices.
