Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

I booked a bus ticket from bangalore to hyderabad thorugh redbus (Gold class sleeper).

Ticket/booking details:
Ticket no: tk7c36494588
Pnr no: sk716159-skt-555b

The bus operator, sri krishna travles, called me up and said the bus is cancelled but redbus is not acknowledging it. And so my 1176 rupees is also not being refunded.
I have called redbus 7 times in last 3 days but they are just asking to wait more as they have not got nay information from the operator.

On the other hand the bus operator is saying they have informed redbus.

I had booked a ticket from darbhanga to patna on june 3 but before departure the company abp travels called and said the bus is cancelled for refund they assured full and also told that it is handled by redbus, i have not received the refund till date. Hope company processes it fast as this kind of business is not expected. Please do something quick...

I have booked two tickets from bangalore to hyderabad on 16th june, 2017 but the bus was cancelled now i want the refund to be transferred to my bank account not the wallet because i am not going to book through your service again. It is is annoying. The trip id is 14645408. The bus cancellation information was not provided either. I was stranded in an unknown city and the payment portal of red bus is so annoying that it took total 7 transactions to book a bus. Kindly look into it thank you.

I booked ticket for 2 persons via redbus app from ernakulam to chennai on 29th may 2017 of cost 2595. I cancelled the ticket within the free cancellation time and received message saying money will be refund within 7 working days. Its almost 3 weeks yet i didnt get refund. When called in customer service and entered my phone number they are telling that no refund is available for this number. But i received message to this same number. Please help me with my issue.

Hi

Worst service by redbus, 2 times it happened to me. Today (15/06/17) i have booked a ticket from bangalore to bc road. My money got deducted, but i didnt get my ticket at all. If i am calling to redbus customer care, no one is answering me. No money no ticket

Previously also my bus got cancelled, by subramanya tours and travels and i have intimated redbus people also that it got cancelled so refund my money, sent many email. No response from them.

The worst service. I want my money back

I booked ticket for which sms, mail or trip code was not shared to me. When i checked with customer care, they informed me, that no transaction has been done from my number. So i asked them to cancel the ticket. They informed me, since booking number has generated, as per there cancellation policy ticket will not cancelled at my request time. I had to loose my money.. Worst..

When you don't share the ticket details like whom to contact, landmark of arrival point, how do you expect to me proceed with the ticket.??

Dear Sir/Madam,
I, Rajapalanivelu, residing at 45, MGR Street, Vadavalli, Coimbatore, had to attend a function at Trichy on June 4, 2017, for which I booked a return ticket in City Travels through Redbus for June 5, 2017 early morning, as I had been a regular customer of Redbus and City Travels for several years. It was booked on May 23, 2017 and I received a confirmation message from Redbus. But in between my busy schedule I did not open the message and went through the content. On June 4th, after the function was over, I just opened your message to verify the boarding place and shocked to see that the date was mentioned as 12:29 a.m. June 4th instead of June 5th (See Attachment). I immediately contacted the "boarding point contact care" of City Travels that was found in their confirmation message ( [protected] ). The person who attended the call simply said that there is no chance of doing anything as the bus left that day morning itself (without verifying it). As I had to leave Trichy that day itself, I found no time to make a complaint there at Trichy and I booked again in RKT Travels through Redbus (Departure at 10:00 p.m. ) on June 4th for my return trip. On the way to Coimbatore, while I was travelling in RKT bus, by around 01:16 a.m., 2 min., 28 secs.(June 5th), I received a call from City Travels ( +[protected], Trichy, stating that the bus is waiting for us at the boarding placed in Trichy and they said the tickets are booked only for June 5th. He also said that cancellation also cannot be done. I was really upset of their poor service. I lost my money because of their confirmation message with a wrong date and because of the irresponsible answer from the "boarding point contact care" of City Travels at Trichy. So, as the mistake is clearly made by both, I request you to help in refunding my money at any cost. Hope you would do the needful.

Expecting your reply ASAP,

I have booked two tickets for me to travel on the same day(Jun 5) on the same bus. I have booked the second ticket only because their app didnt provide me any notifications. So I have raised a ticket to refund the amount in the customer care. Meanwhile, I have booked another ticket.

Now, they resolved the issue by allocating ticket to me. Now, I have the two ticket for the same person in the same bus. When I notified them, they told me that they will look into this issue and wait for 2-48 hours.

I have raised 5 tickets now and numerous call to the support team, still not ready to accept that their app havent notified me.

Ticket no. Tk[protected]

I've gaurav book a ticket from delhi to manali for 2 passangers named amit sable and swati kasar for 2 june 2017 at 6 pm. Seat we were allowed was 35 and 36. During booking seat 35 and 36 was on secondlast row as per red bus online booking but when actually we sat in bus it was on last line and also not separate. We was seeting with another 3 male passengers. As i was travelling with a lady need a privacy and due to negligancy of red bus a lady with me and i was forced to seat on last row. A complaint was made to conductor of bus he replied that he is not responsible for same as red bus did not updated the new layout of himachal pradesh bus tourisim. And same is complaint to red bus and they replied that himachal bus tourism did not have us updated seating layout. As per both of tem is not accepting the mistake nd i was forced to travel in trouble.
Pls look into the matter.

I had booked two tickets on jun 2 and jun 6 on 28may. On 31 may, i received message stating that one of my ticket was cancelled due to technical issue from red bus. So i called customer care, for which he assured that it is a wrong message sent and ticket is still confirmed. But again in evening i got another message that my another ticket was cancelled. When i checked in redbus app, the ticket was still confirmed. So when i called again, he said due to issue at operator side the ticket was cancelled. And he will cancel the ticket in red bus side now and issue a full refund which will take 7 days to reach me. Customer care was saying this like doing a favour to me. First of all, remember that money is mine and once the ticket is cancelled by you, it is your duty to refund that amount.

My question is if a customer cancels a ticket you deduct min 20℅ of the total amount. But now due to red bus side technical issue, tickets which were booked on 28 may got cancelled on 31 may and now when i try to book all the bus prices have gone up now and mostly buses are not available at all. And i will get that amount after 7 days.
I got to know this has happened to lot of people around india. We suspect a huge technical issue in offers section is the reason for this which u ppl are trying to hide.

One common thing is for people who ever used offer mumpun299, the ticket is cancelled. You red bus created a dummy offer for some reason and people used it since the offer code was available in google.
Now in order to cover your losses which happened due to this offer code, you are cancelling all our tickets.

I will not accept just a refund of my money but need additional penalty charges rs 600 for cancelling my tickets for ur side technical issue and an apology letter or else i have no other option but to go social media and raise a complaint in red bus fraudulent activity. I'm mentioning this amount for the losses i faced in my tour trip since the ticket was cancelled after 3 days. You guys don't even have a toll free number and i had to call 5-6 times to get this details and lost all my mobile balance.

Hi,
My name is hemant.

Now they cancelled my booked ticket and said your ticket has been cancelled due to bus operator technical issue.
Ok i am understand with issue but why it is for all the ticket.
I request to you please solve that issue which is occured by you not by me.
Why i am pay for that.
If i cancel the ticket then i have to pay cancellation charge now they cancel my ticket and said technical issue.
What the hell technical issue.
We are educated @redbus we are not fool.
You can not cancel our tickets.

I have been using redbus for quite some time. This time I booked my ticket from Tirunelveli to Bangalore in "SRS" Travels. The bus which was scheduled to arrive at my boarding point @8.20pm came at 11.20 pm. It was a ac semi sleeper bus. When the bus started moving I realised that something is biting my legs and soon I got red patches on my legs and hands. Using my mobile torch, I found they were bed bugs and all through my eight journey I had to put up with bedbug bites. This shows the quality of bus redbus has. Such a horrible experience.
