Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

On 3 March 2017, i booked a bus from Chennai to Banglore.

The bus was supposed to be at 9:40 PM in my Boarding Point.

the bus guys called me at 9:45 PM and told me to come to another boarding point, when i refused they told me they will drive the slowly and i can board at any of the boarding point.

When i raised it with RedBus they told me to wait in the same point and they will arrange another bus. I told them i cannot wait i will book another ticket in the later time.

when asked for a refund the travel guys told to get from REDBUS. When asked redbus for the refund they closed the support ticket saying they are sorry. when i asked why they closed they say the bus guys and another customer says the bus operated flawlessly so they won't refund as it was my fault.

Dear Sir,

My name is santosh and my registered email id is [protected]@gmail.com . I booked a ticket in red bus and after that I cancelled the ticket but by mistake allowed the refund to be in my wallet account. After request, your support team agreed to transfer my wallet balance to my bank account and also collected all bank details and assured that the refund will be processed within 7 days, but it 12th day now and I have not yet received the money back to my bank account. Please help.

Its been more 15 days i have not received amount and there is no proper response from redbus customer care service. I will never ever gonna to book bus ticket from redbus.

Hi,
I booked 2 bus tickets from Nasik to Mumbai for the journey date 06/03/2017 ie today with RED Bus. The tickets I had booked was for 2X2 seats with Sai Veer Bhadra travels however when I reached the boarding point I was asked to board a Sai May bus from Dwarka Circle at Nasik. However when the bus had arrived it was a Sleeper bus and I was told by the bus operator that the 2 passengers have to sit on 1 berth and have to share which is incorrect since I had booked 2 different seats and not to share 1 seat/berth. My mother who is a senior citizen cant sit with me due to her old age. Due to which right now I have to travel standing because of your mistake. I did call RED BUS customer care support and explained the situation however it was of no help since the team wanted fo investigate hence I had asked to speak to his Superior however he declined. Now I am standing in the whole trip becuase RED BUS didnt take the responsibility to help their customers realtime and didnt even allow to speak with a manager. I even told the RED BUS customer service agent to refund me the charge however I was told he cant give me an assurity and forcefully I had to travel in the same bus at 20:30 from Dwarka Circle Nasik. I did tell the bus operator I have a senior citizen travelling with me however it was all in vain.

I will never book any tickets from redbus and i have already started encouraging my friends to use other reliable ticket booking sites other than redbus. I lost only one ticket refund. Redbus will loose prospective customers. I have been following up with my ticket refund status for the last 1month but they have closed the ticket saying no refund. I called multiple times but in vain. I always used to get an answet saying that they will look into the issue. They also assured me that as per the call records, the refund is confirmed. Now they have backed off saying the call records do not provide evidence. These people are double tounged. Please do not book tickers using redbus.

Hello,

I had booked a ticket through REDBUS on 01/03/2017, TICKET #TK3Y[protected]Bharthi Tourist) for 06/03/2017 from kundapur to bangalore. For some reason, I needed to cancel the ticket and book it for 05/03/2017, but the ticket number was not reflecting in the website and it was showing "Cancellation failed. Incorrect Ticket No. or Email ID" though I had given the correct details. Please do the needful in getting my ticket cancelled and getting my refund.

Hi, here is the mail i received from the bus company for the reservation i did some days ago in Udaipur some days ago

Dear sir/ma’am,

Your bus trip cancelled. Your ticket is booked by REDBUS. So please contact to REDBUS for refund amount ASAP –[protected].

They asked me to get it back at 9:35 near porur toll plaza, i was waiting for that bus. they gave me my wallet with 1.7k, i asked them where is my rest of 2k . they told this is what left in wallet and started the bus.

I have tried booking ticket from Bangalore to Goa via redbus. But what happened was they dedected money from account and replied sorry the ticket cant be booked. And its been a day the money is not yet refunded. An amount of rupees 1688 was charged and deducted online from HDFC bank account holder Arun NV. The booking was done on 25th February 2017. Kindly resolve the matter as soon as possible as its a matter of 1688 rupees.

I booked ticket from shirdi to mumbai and my ticket was confirmed, and then i received email from them stating your transaction has failed and your money is safe with us. now they are denying to return money, i feel so cheated i was not able to travel on that ticket instead i have to pay for another seat, please please never book ticket from red bus.

when contact Red Bus they informed to get refund from Bus Station
I have not been able to visit the station as i left due to work.
If there is no proper information about the Bus they should not keep the bookings available for the Bus .

Hi Team,

I have booked the bus ticket from Pune to Bhopal for 10/Feb/2017 and travel agency is Satnam Travel, Verma travel and Ticket no is TK2R42762844 and boarding time is 6 Pm at Vishal Nagar wakad Pune (Near to my home, that'why booked this bus) . At 2:30 Pm on 10 feb, i got call from red bus (may be from Verma travels) and saying that something went wrong with the bus and it has been canceled (Not describe the exact issue) and she has given me 2 options for boarding as 5:15 Pm at Nashik Phata and 6:00 pm at Pune Station and she told that new bus will be Volvo with good amenities . Due to this, i need to go to Pune Station with expenditure by Vehicle and need to park 2 wheeler into Parking (Not completely safed) . The bus was also not on time and bus condition is very bad and i got seat of last as SU11, which is last upper birth of bus .

So i due to this bus disservices, got back pain and so much hactic journey . I want to claim the bus fares due to bad services of travels and also due to this mis services from travel agency, i also want to claim the Parking payment .

I wanted to book 2 tickets from Bngalore to Chennai. I attempted to book it on Feb 11. When I hit "Bangalore to Chennai bus", I found redbus and chose it. It asked me the date and i mentioned Feb 12. When search list appeared the date was back to Feb 11. I booked the tickets and realized it was wrongly chosen. I immediately called the bus operator and red bus. Both were asking me to approach each other for cancellation. I reuqested them to atleast transfer it to the ticket which i book next and they denied. Both escaped with the reason of "We dont have the choice of cancelling but the bus operator\redbus has it".

Details can be found in the image.

But due to some error it had been booked for today .But immedietely I tried to cancel it but it is not possible.Due to this I lost RS 1900.so please resolve my grievance. Thank-you .

Hi all. I have booked a ticket at 12.20 from Goa to Hyd but entered a wrong date i.e on 11th feb. All that I wanted is to change the date to 15th feb. I was on the calls from 12.30 – 3.30 pm.Spoke with agents as well as two supervisors. The stunning and shocking thing is, everyone told me the same thing that according to the company policy, the ticket can neither be cancelled or refunded. Same thing again and again. None of them exhibited the attitude of helping the customer or at least told me, “let me see what I can do for you?” including the supervisors.
One of the supervisors even asked to contact the merchant which isn’t my responsibility. But still I called Kaveri travels and that’s the most bitter experience. The head office people were talking about me soo disgustingly and I could hear the conversation on the phone and they hung up the call. I couldn’t understand how they became your merchants. So unethical and unprofessional behaviour.
Coming back to your company, I completely understand that policies are important. But we are humans, We make little mistakes. If everything a-z, has to be according to the policies, then I guess there is no need of call centres. Your employees gave me an impression that I was talking to a computer who lacks the ability to think. I have seen major companys refunding small to huge amounts of money for the customers just because they try to understand the situation of the customer. This is highly lacking in this organisation. Finally Shankar(TL, Pune) accepted to give me only 300 Rs as E- wallet cash. I would never ever prefer this site again because of its customer service. Even the slightest problem can’t be resolved here. Most importantly employees would never had the attitude of helping customers.

On Dec 27 I booked a ticket from Bangalore to Udupi. Redbus showed boarding point as Kalasipalyam. When I contacted the bus operator for confirmation on ticket, he said the boarding point was not valid. Although the operator said the amount will be refunded via redbus (considering it as a cancellation due to their mistake), I did not get any information nor any refund. After continuous follow up also I have not got valid answer or action from both bus operator and redbus team. I have faced several issues with this even before and in recent past as well.

Ticket was booked on Dec 27th for Dec 27th.

Ticket copy is being attached. Please refer that.

I checked now for the refund status and it is not done. Dec 27 - Feb 11 (today) no response.

The bus was delayed by 4 hrs. I travelled from Bangalore to Madurai on Feb 6th on SRS travels. Bus started from Bangalore with one hour delay. Since the bus did not reach Madurai on time, i had to get down in Dindugul and travel to some other place(i was supposed to travel from Madurai to this place if bus has reached on time). On top of this delay, I contacted red bus for registering the complaint. No real support from Redbus team. They wanted to close the case with no compensation at all and the ticket was closed. KALYANI - supervisor in Pune call centre was rude and spoke to me in a worst manner. Worst experience overall and i guess i will stick to ABHIBUS going forward!! Competitors should learn from u guys on how to lose the customers.
