    It has become a general practice for the private bus operators to raise their bus fares twice or thrice during festival times. They are using the peoples need in favour of them. Indirectly does it mean people who can afford alone can celebrate festival ? The bus fare is not the same as other normal days, infact during the festival times people travel more and that's when buses are actually needed. This should also be considered as looting and serious actions should be taken on those service providers

          I had booked a ticket through the website almost two weeks backs. Though the payment was debited from bank, i never received the ticket. Every attempt to reach the customer care was futile.. It's busy 24*7 apparently. Further it's been over 10 days that i'm contacting them through email for refund of money. All i have got is failed assurances. Totally unexpected from such a reputed company.

          Redbus, request you to kindly credit the ticket money asap. Also please improve your customer service. Disgraceful.

                I boarded a bus from mumbai to udaipu during the long weekend . Paid 1075 for the trip.The bus was supposed to reach at 8.30 am at its destination but was 280 lm away till 11.00 am and broke down on the way in some secluded area. Being a single female passenger, I called on the female helpline provided by redbus.They picked up the call, listened to the probelem and put the call on hold.After 1 week of raising compalains and escalations, redbus provided me a refund of 300 .I had to pay 1000 to another bus from the place where i was left.I require complete refund.Moreover the female helpline should be better managed

                      After booking the ticket i got a call from muskan travels their vehicle has some issues & trip will be cancelled.

                      When i inquired muskan representative told me no need to panic, he will inform red bus & money will be refunded.

                      Till now i have not received any refund amount, so, i sent mails & made a call also to red bus.

                      There is no response & they are saying it is not cancelled & asking me to contact directly muskan travels.

                      Its their responsibility as i paid through them but they veering the responsibility to some others court.

                      Frantically i called muskan as there is no support from red bus, muskan confirming that the trip is cancelled & they gave the concerned no to be called by red bus.

                      The same i have detail y mailed to red bus & it looks frivolous.

                      I need my refund amount cheated by red bus.

                            Hi,
                            I have booked the bus ticket for journey Pune to Malkapur for 29 oct 2016, I received the confirmation mail for the same. For ticket please see the attachment.

                            Booked On: 03 oct 2016
                            Booking Amount: Rs. 711
                            Transaction ID: TJAY39884982

                            Now, I received a call and sms today about my ticket cancellation.
                            They cancelled my ticket today after 7 days of booking, and now I am not getting another ticket for my journey.

                            And I have not received the refund amount yet, they are saying it will be refunded after 7 working days. And I dont have money to book another ticket now. If I wait for 7 working days then the ticket amount other booking will be 1500 to 2000 rs, which I can not afford.

                            So I need my ticket booked from redbus using the same amount I have paid. They should be adjust my seat in any bus for Pune to malkapur on 29 oct 2016.

                            I have booked tickets of 7th October 2016. By mistake I booked the tickets of the morning where as I needed the tickets of 7:25during the night. Please do the needful and cancel my tickets.

                              On 9th oct, called to bus operator to confirm but they denied the bus availabilty and ask to cancel the ticket.

                              Since we have not been informed earlier and date of travel is same, there is 100% cancellation charge.
                              Since boarding person is female we have booked another ticket and did not wait for this ticket closure.

                              Please look into the matter.
