The ticket fella clearly sounded and appeared illiterate, getting loud unreasonably. Even though I and my companion kept on one berth, he made us pay 500 rs extra for another berth that we never used during the whole travel.

The driver's cabin was overcrowded throughout; maybe that's why he drove slow cos he was rather busy chatting and laughing. The urinal in there stank awful! Don't know how the passengers placed closed to it survived??

The floor carpet was dirty and smelly.

The space and atmosphere created around the berth could make anybody claustrophobic; no wonder I fell sick!

The stopover for refreshment could've been A LOT better, but the driver chose it according to his class.

The bus's booking website is pretty misleading. They show something else over there and give a total shock later on!

Never riding on a red bus ever again.

I'd strongly demand my wrongly charged money back if possible, please!

When purchasing her ticket, there was no mention that there would be an interchange of buses during her journey with Red Bus. This caused significant...

            I'm Satya Ravi from Hyderabad.
            On night of 30th dec 2022, I have booked tickets from Tiruvannamalai to Hyderabad on redbus platform.
            Due to engine failure, bus was stop at the middle of night around 2.00am. Bus driver told that - from there we need to catch another bus by our own & 100% amount will be refunded with in 2-3 days.

            Now that consultant contact persons of om sri tours and travels are not responding to calls & messages.

            Redbus team was saying that they have arranged 15% refund only. We can't provide more than that.

            As redbus is a trusted platform, we have booked tickets. Now redbus team also not agreeing with the 100%refund.

            Consider this issue as serious one & do needful

            Regards,

            D Satya Ravi.

                        Website: www.redbus.in

                        On my trip to Shegaon from Nagpur on 24th Dec 2022 the Gagan travels bus got failed due to leakage of Disel pipe. This issue was sorted on next morning by the mechanic within 30 minutes.
                        The failure of bus was happened between Kondhali to Karanja (15km away from Karanja) at 12:00am night. Rectification of 30minutes was possible by sending mechanic from Nagpur in just 2 Hrs maximum but the owner not willing to do the same. and the customers get stuck at one place for more then 12Hrs. on highway where no provision of food and all needful things.
                        On enquiring by redbus executive on next day owner said the bus got repair and all passengers is on board. thus Redbus refused my claim to return the money.
                        What about customers inconvenience occurred during journey?
                        What about our further bookings which get disturbed due to this?
                        What about the time we had wasted due to negligence by redbus and by the owner ?
                        Redbus should paid me double for the same and get penalized to owner for such act.

We we're waiting at the boarding point for 2 and 1/2 Hours ( upto 3.30 PM) and the due to no lack of communication from red bus or the UST travels we were forced to look for alternative arrangements for our Hosur to Chennai Journey.
