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.
Red Bus customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
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.

    I have booked ticket on 8th oct 2016 to travel from
    Ranchi - patna sunday, october 9, 2016
    Ticket no: tjb[protected]
    Pnr no: ybej9h3

    Boarding person: female

    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.

                  I booked a ticket with red bus on 5 july from rana travels.
                  Journey Details : 5 July 2016 10:20PM.
                  They issues me a ticket with mail and message.Same is issues by rana travels.
                  When I awaited for my journey, false information is provided to me from travel agent on bus late arrival.
                  Red bus executives too didnt provided me a proper assistance instead they are just making my time pass.I called them thrice and at last they said your ticket was not confirmed and bus is gone.
                  I was expecting an important work on the next day.
                  I am looking for refund to my bank account with compensation for my loss.
                  I wasted a lot of money calling the red bus executives.

                    My journey from chennai to bangalore boarding is at koyambed 7.30 am. I was calling the given numbers for many times and the mobile number was switched off and the land line number no one was answering the call. Bus left without notifying me. And when i reached boarding point, the office attendant told that they called me before starting the bus, but they did not call and i did not get any call from them.

                    I missed my bus due to improper communication.

                      I had travelled from Mumbai to Hospet on 01.10.2016 by VRL. Ticket was booked by Android app and through Red Bus only redBus Ticket - TJAV78624538.At the time of booking, it was assured of 200/- cash back to my wallet as per offer within 24 hours post journey. But till date it is not credited in my wallet.
                      I hope this amount should be credited immediately after this complaint.

                          I have booked a ticket from delhi to kanpur for 7th oct 2016 but the ticket got booked for 5th oct 2016. Now i am not receiving any refunds from the redbus operator. The customer care assistant is saying that it is my fault somewhere.
                          Also there are no seats available for the slot i want to travel. My travel is also compromised as well as the money that went into the 100% cancellation charge due to the fault of the service provider, redbus

                              Hello all,
                              I booked a seat overnight from bangalore to mangalore on sri krishna travels and tours. Pfa the ticket id.
                              Much to my dismay, the bus never showed up. Luckily i booked a regular ksrtc and got a ride back. I thought i'd drop a mail and a refund would be initiated. To me, redbus has always been outstanding when it comes to customer service but not this time. The only reply they had to my queries was that it's been assigned to another personell. I finally dropped a mail (A month later) that i was going to escalate this. Hope i get some kind of response here.
                              Red Bus customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  Hi, I tried to book 2 tickets from Rajahmundry to Hyderabad on 24 September 2016. The payment has done but ticket not generated. So I immediately called to customer care number available in the redbus app, they said the payment of Rs 1332 will be credited back within 10 days.

                                  Regarding this I even got a message from REDBUS stating "Your refund request of Rs 1332.00 against proposal no: 3939194 received from IBIBO GROUP PRIVATE LIMITED has been processed on your card, and will reflect in your account within 10 working days."

                                  But still now the amount has not been refunded..to complain about this I called to customer care many times but after transfering the call to the person the call automatically gets disconnected.

                                  Please solve my issue ASAP...

                                        Message : i have tried to book a ticket on 16-sep-2016 through net banking (From: coimbatore to: marthandam). But after completing my payment ticket was not generated. Intimated to customer care they said within 7 bank working day amount will be automatically refunded to my bank account. But so far i didn't received my amount. Checked with customer care team, they told me to visit the nearby branch and intimate about this (Everyone will aware of this we need a proper assistance from redbus team to take ownership to solve the issues). Its really frustrating with this poor service. I am a long time user for redbus service, customer grievance should be addressed properly. Even there is no toll free number to dail in.

                                        Thanks,
                                        Daniel.
