Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

Sanjaya here. I bookked my seat thought redbus from banagalore to belgaum on 6th night with sri balaji tourist. My ticket number is tj[protected].

My boarding time was 10:30pm from govardhan theatre, yashawantpur.
I tried to call balaji on the no given.[protected] at 11 pm asking for where is the bus. But the reply was it will come in 10 min. I used to call every 10 min, that balaji guy used say after 10 min. Then started teliing note down the mobile number at 11:30 pm. I told you send the message as it is your duty to send the message and not mine to note down. Then he told red cloour bus of national travels will come there and board in that. I got shocked, i told i booked for balaji and you are telling me to board for national travels.
He told thier bus got cancelled so arranged seat in national travels and i took him left and right. That bull guy cut the call.

Bus arrived at 12:15 am, a delay of 1 hour and 40 min. This is very ridiculaous, my friends who bus from other travels like srs, they boarded the bus in just 10 min delay of thier scheduled time. Balaji says the majestic route is jammed so it will be late. I dont agree on this. This is the bus operator to decide on the time and keep the time if required they have start early from their first point.

When bus came instaed of l6 they gave me 1st upper saying it is not your bus which you booked and the 1st upper sleeper seat of national travels is horrible to sleep also with one bag.

My first question is why balaji is not sending the message like srs, vrl and others send regarding bus no. And time.? Hope balaji is another bullying travels and they have cheated me here. And same thing they have done for 7 passengers.

Second thing who authorized them to reserve my seat in national travels (Ntho)? Why redbus is not taking any action on this.?

Any how i dont like the way staff of national behave with the passnagers
For many years.

Why redbus is not gave strong intruction like every bus operaters should send the details of the bus compulsorily for every passnger.?

I think that even redbus is mingled with these travels for the profit? Confirm on this. I have taken this seriously and i will go to rto or i amy got to leagal on this as i have to show who i am and who did this should pay for me.

Redbus is sleeping and getting the profit from the customers and i strongly feel it is redbus responsibility to handle the travels like sir balaji and national the most cunning operators.
Already one girl has started the legal action on you for her molestation by bus guys and i ahev signed her petition also.

Now you will file another petition from my side and i will fight on this.

Hope i will get the reply and justice on this. As no will tolerate for this type of humiliation after paying more than 100 rupees for bus booking although it was not worth.

The buses that are enlisted here do not have adequate information.Some of them are not in a very good condition.Those must be put off from the list.Traveller safety must be their concern too.Bus policies are not clear and redbus does not take liability if the bus malfunctions, making refund a difficult process.Women also feel unsafe because no background investigation is done about bus drivers and helpers .
Do verify before enlisting buses.

Hi,
i have booked a ticket on Red bus app from my Iphone. the ticket is from Anakapalli to Hyderabad on May 2nd 2016. the time shown at the time of booking is 7:40 PM.
But after booking the journey time changed to 9:40PM. because of that, my complete journey got shifted by 3 hours.
actually time i thought to reach hyderabad is 6:40 AM next day.
but i actuallly reached by 10 AM.
because of that i have reached office late, and missed some important meetings.
The travels is Gautami Travels.
the app which i have used to Book is Redbus. i have attahced the photo images
1. image which says that the goutami travels is scheduled at 7:40 PM
2. image which says that the ticket got booked and the journey time is 9:40 PM.

I have called them for the mistake happened, they did not repond properly, and offered me to book another ticket and told me that they will cancel the ticket booked at 9:40 PM.
But by that time i got this reponse from them almost all the tickets were sold and the remaining tickets are all back seats. I am suffering from back pain, so i could accept that solution given by them.
And after that another executive from red bus, told me that he is taking the complaint and his team will get back to me with in 24 hours., But it is already 48 hours from the time i have given the complaint, no body called me.
i have spent about 50 minutes talking to them on their customer care number [protected], which is not toll free.
i called from my phone so bill is also against me.
I could not get any sleep that day in the bus, i am always thinking about the next day office. As i could not get proper sleep, i could not work properly the next day.

can you please consider this and help me get the compensation for the time waste i have experienced and the mental torture i have experienced for this whole issue and the phone bill i have spent for the complaint.

Thanks

I have had a nightmare wid redbus... It's bull... I had booked a ticket online frm chn to blore for nyte 11.45 pm n i get a msg for mrng 11.45 am... N i evn got d msg late.. I tried calling red bus they said it mite be technical issue and we cannot cancel d ticket pls contact sangita travels... Worst behaviour d guy spokr to me so eudely saying we cannot shift ur ticket to nyte bus... We can't do nythng u talk to red bus... Very cheap behaviour drm both these ppl... Whn it s not my fault...

I'm traveling in an AC bus from Ajmer to Jaipur. The condition of this AC bus is even worse than a local bus. The bus operator is stopping the bus at rural areas every now and then, and has overloaded the bus with dirty crowd for 50-50 Rs. There is so much commotion that we are unable to breathe. On top of that, when we told the bus conductor what you are doing, he started using bad language in front of the other passengers, and said 'do whatever you want to and we'll do what we want to and will take more passengers'. The cabins are also too too dirty and stinking. We even called the bus owner but he didn't take any immediate action. We didn't hope to travel in a bus like this, after paying Rs.800 per head!

Very poor response & late arrival approx 3 hrs
Booked ticket for Bharuch from Pune & boarding station at Somatane Phata near Toll Plaza & boatding time as per confirmation at 11.20 PM on 29.04.2016. Still I am wIting & it's 1.20 AM of 30.04.2016. No bus arrived from respective agency (Mahavat Travels) under Red bus. Very tensed as going for important meeting & also losing valuable personal time. Asking for assistance & compensation money. Also will escalate the same to Ministry of transport for assistance & compensation towards my loss. Plz do the needful & very urgently.

We booked our ticket from Haridwar to Delhi for 24th April, 11a.m. We were asked to reach to a boarding point near Gurudwara. We reached there well before time and waited for the bus, but after half an hour of waiting we got to know from a person there that our bus was cancelled. We didn't even have the contact no. of driver mentioned in our ticket. We enquired here and there and got a number of the conductor of that bus. When we called, we were informed that the bus had already left Haridwar. It didn't come to that stop since there was traffic. And the conductor didn't even take any pains to inform the passengers who were waiting on that bus stop, instead he started blaming us for not calling earlier. We 3 girls were left completely stranded in the in scorching heat, with no private bus leaving for delhi. Seeing the poor condition of government busses, we finally had to take train.
This was highly irresponsible behaviour on part od Red Bus and I would suggest if you can't control your operations pan India, you should better limit yourselves to Banglore and Hyderabad only and stop trying to become a Nationwide company.
Our Ticket no. was TJ5R24365488

I am Chandrasekhar. I have booked ticket to travel Bangalore to Visakhapatnam on April 16, 2016 on VRL Travels Volvo A/C Axle Semi Sleeper, Ticket no: TJ[protected]. But in journey, after crossing around 70 kms from Bangalore, in mid forest, driver stopped bus, stating as bus has brake down. While contacting VRL travels manager, he simple rejected to arrange alternate bus, even not arranged transportation to nearest town. At that time SRS travels bus, by the way is coming, charged Rs.1700 for the same journey, As there is no other alternate I have paid from my pocket.
After that I am calling to VRL Travels, RED Bus to refund my money as service is cancelled. VRL claims Red bus is going to revert money, Red Bus claims there is clue for bus cancellation.
I have booked complaint with Red Bus, Complaint No: RB[protected]. Till today I did not get any response from Red bus, or not reverting money to my bank a/c. Every day I am calling but no use. Both companies are really torturing, with worst quality of service.

For normal days omni bus charged rs.400 to 700 for tickets from madurai to chennai. But this is a festival time... They know very well... So they charged upto rs. 2000 per tickets... So public's are affected for price increasing... Plz check the online pries... They are selling tickets three times of normal tickets... Consider my request and take action as soon as possible...

I booked in Sribalaji tourist today from bangalore to chennai at 10:45 PM from bellandur Some one called from [protected] and informed the bus is cancelled.
I tried to reach the contact number given in the ticket - [protected].
This does not belong to Sri balaji tourist and the person told he is from muskan travel who attended the call gave me another number to reach which is a woman's number [protected].

I got another call from a person in [protected].

It all happened when I hardly have 30 mins to reach the pick up point

I am not sure whether the bus I booked got cancelled or my ticket is sold to another person and i am forced to travel in another sub standard bus. I reached redbus help line only to find no one there to pick or respond

Redbus does a pathetic service working with the help of Sri balaji tourists

I have booked a bus ticket from Blr to haripad on 29th march and money got deducted. But ticket was not booked.I still have not received the refund and I have been following up on the same from that moment .but not getting proper response at all

I had booked two tickets in shatabdi ac from Lucknow to varanasi on 18 for 19 april.I didn't get any information earlier from your side regarding cancellation of bus.when we reached there then we come to know about the bus being cancelled.we had no choice left after.but this doesn't end here, after cancellation the total amount was not refunded.it would have been true if I myself would have cancelled the ticket but it was bus which get cancelled not that I cancelled my own ticket.so it would be great if you look into this and act acccordingly.please look into it as early as possible because other options are waiting .

I have made payment in red bus through payumoney. I had received the mail from red bus regarding payment received and not tickets not booked. I was informed that "Your refund for previous transaction has been initiated already." but i have not received any intimation from red bus regarding refund status. Payumoney payment ID[protected] and Merchant Order ID: 72471906.

Dear Sir / Madam,

i have booked 2 tickets from Ajmer to Delhi on 16th Apr 2016 by red bus . according to my pick up timing from bhola travels by pass ajmer was 6:45 pm but I was reached before 4:35pm at pick up point . I am really very disappointed with your services because till 7:30 pm I did not received any call from travel agency and no information shared by bhola travels . post that I was dialed red bus customer care number according to CRE due to some issue bus was delayed around 3 hours but I have concern with travel agency and red bus why no one shared with correct detail with me . why no one answering the calls . it’s really mental harassment with passenger because around till 9:30 no one shared correct information with me regarding the bus timing and bus information . my mom and dad nerve eats dinner without talking with me that time really both are scared because I am standing on ajmer road by pass . I am not aware about the area and route . in case any mis-happing done with me who will take ownership for this . really try to understand a guy standing on road with one of my friend . due to bad services by the travel agency and the red bus I suffered a lot . my issue with the travel agency and red bus if I have already paid extra money as compare the local rates with services tax then why good services not given by agency and red bus . really it’s really mental harassment with me that time . I have coordinate with the red bus customer care executive around 9:30 thorugh my friend number @[protected] worst solution given by agent he told me please cancel the ticket the tickets . what the blushed solution given by the agent because around 10:00 pm I have no alternative solution to travel ajmer to delhi and I don’t have extra money in my pocket and I am not feeling safe on road and I don’t have any idea about the local route really I am feeling very badly .

Issue with the raj laxmi travel
No one person was called to me for delay in bus and no one person answering the calls and disconnect the calls again & again and the best thing is this the bus like local bus . bus smelly very badly and no of passengers more than the seat . mostly people are sleeping on floor of the bus because seats are not available in the bus I feel its local bus than why charged with me 5oo rs per seat . as per the passengers they charged with me double as compare then local rates . Services of raj laxmi travel was very badly and providing seats of local bus because seat chaired was damaged, bus smelly very badly and no of passengers more than the seat and cartoon of the boxes available on the floor . I have all the picture and the videos of the bus kindly complaint log against the travel under services not better, no information in case bus was delayed . unsafe culture provided by the travel agency . mental harassment with passengers and fraud case .

According to pick up point travel agency guy he is not aware about the bus timing and bus number or driver number then why red bus shared with bhola agency detail for contact for pick up .

My questions :-
Why no one shared with me correct detail
Why travel agency not answering the call
Why red bus agent giving worst solution and cancel the ticket around 9:30pm


Kindly logged complaint against the travel agency and red bus or bhola travel (pick up point travel point )

I am daily passenger for aya nagar to badarpur border. The bus frequency is very low. While passengers are big in count.
From 12 noon to 4 pm and 8:30 to late night, there is no service in this route. On ask of timing of departure driver said is after an hour and it is very rudely. Many of the passenger are ill-literate so they just walk to the metro for break journey. Which is not only costly and also inconvenient.
I would appreciate your active work on this complaint.

Hello ..

On 17 th July : I was booking tickets from Bangalore to shirdi for 19 th of March 2016, with vrl bus Ac sleeper, through redbus between 9am to 10am, I selected 19 th proceeded with booking while I reached the payment page, I used first time user code and the RBAPP100, and the page got refreshed and Since it s my first time thought because of the code used the page refreshed and proceeded with it and finished the payment of Rs 4238/- and the ticket generated and was completely shocked to see ticket was generated for 17th, immediately I contacted vrl and since the booking was done through redbus they asked me to contact redbus, from then I continously started calling redbus and explained them the matter very clearly, redbus was like call vrl and vrl was like call redbus, I was requesting redbus to help with this since the date of Journey was on 17th, they Wer like we need 24 hours to check with technical team, wen I said I was very confident that I booked on 19 th, I was even ready to share IP address, they said they need time to contact operator (vrl) and kept me on hold on call, after few minutes they said they spoke to vrl and they ll get back to me after checking with technical team, mean while wen I called vrl to help me with this, they informed me they din receive any call from Redbuss till then,
WHY THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND FAKED??
The person whom I spoke to on vrl, called Redbuss when I was on call and asked them to check with my tickets and problem and he informed me that Redbuss will call back me, Later redbus called and said they require 24 hrs to check with technical team, I kept requesting them to help with it and said since the day of travel as per the ticket s today kindly please reply soon, tomorrow they may tell ticket s expired after 24 hrs, they Wer like not to worry since we have forwarded ur request ...

I spoke to deepa R, kavyashree R and others
evening when I called Redbuss, Kavya or someone registered a complaint regarding this rb_1732016_410221

On 18 th
After lapse of 24 hrs I received a mail from Redbuss stating complaint s resolved and they can't refund .
When I mailed them again no reply,

Next moment I called them and each one started with different stories telling technical team tells no error,
And kept on transferring calls to their supervisors when I questioned them anything, later I spoke to Gayathri, after hearing me she said needs to check with technical team and will call back in noon,

Every time I call even after I tell complaint number, I had to explain them every thing and they kept me on hold and most of the calls would last around 45minutes or 60 minutes,

Waited till noon.no reply
In the evening when I called redbus customer and asked to connect to Gayathri since she had assured of call back .
They connected to her colleague and he said she s not in floor and said me to wait,
After 30 minutes or so I again called to check and Redbuss they said its Bangalore branch and they don't have facility to connect Gayathri since its Pune branch, when noon they could connect, evening they dint have FACILITY ...
I took Pune customer care no and contacted and explained them learnt Gayathri not In duty, when asked about my complaint status : they say after checking with technical team they said I have booked on 17 th itself,
And they checked with MY IP ..
It was such a fake statement made without me telling how would they get my IP ???
And said no refund,
And make a fresh booking again was the reply I got for waiting for 1n half day, and they say ticket s expired madam, I asked them to change to 19 th, din ask for refund on 18 th,
Till 18 th evening it was non refundable, but wen I asked for 19 th ticket it was non transferable, wen I said wen I informed 17 th their colleagues to check with ticket since its travel of journey, they assured me not to worry since there s a complaint, now u say ticket s expired after making me wait for 30 hrs, he din say anything, and asked me to wait till 19 th 12 clk to check again ...

I requested them to arrange a call back from Gayathri, they said they will arrange and will receive a call by 12pm on 19 th March, and today s 21st March din receive any call or mail regarding this ...

I spoke to rehan shaikh and few others
To give a irresponsible Reply they asked me to wait for so long and waste my money calling them and like crazy around 10to 15 times I have called on two days and each call would be long with long holds ..

.
Rs 4238/- is a small amount ??? And my mobile expenses of 231/-
Kindly think before telling u sorted the problem,
how could u fool people telling we checked with YOUR IP Address ???
I am from a technical background I would know Wat teachnical team has done well, u required 30 hrs to tell this ???
How could u say do a fresh booking ??
This s not the way to make money,
Have some humanity and
Wat rules u tell about,
Without customer you can't run a company ...
Why I was interested to talk to Gayathri was, the each one would do call transfer and eveytime need to explain each of them the same and would reach her in the end,
So it's a better way to reach her directly .
Finally I would request you kindly to credit my amount back,
It's a hard earned money, we work long hours and save to get that and you just spoilt my trip plans and made me frustrated with it .
My ticket ID-TJ4H88244729,

Journey:10/04/16
Called redbus customer care on:09/04/16
At 11:39 am
I tried even calling them again on the day of journey but i didn't get their line.
I booked two tickets from karaikudi to chennai using redbus app in the names sakthi vignesh and thangavelu veeran.I called the customer care and asked them to cancel one seat on the name of thangavelu veeran nd even told dat it will b cancelled and the money for one seat will be refunded.But i didnt receive any message or mail regarding it.

Pls do the needful help

I had booked a ticket the details of which is here under:-

1. Ticket no. - tj4r57652976
2. Pnr no. - p86x6ac
3. From ranchi to jamshedpur
4. Date of journey - 25.03.2016
5. Operator - pawan putra
6. Amount - rs. 490/-


The bus operator had, without any intimation to us, cancelled the trip and this has resulted into heavy inconvenience to us. On calling up the operator, he advised us to cancel the ticket. However, the website doesnot allow us to do the same stating "this ticket cannot be cancelled as date of journey expired."

I have taken up this matter several times with redbus.In via e-mail to [protected]@redbus.In & [protected]@redbus.In. They revert back assuring to look into the matter within 48 hours. But, they dont respond again even after 48 hours. Also, there is no mechanism to check status of complaint using complaint number provided by them.
Pocketing such small amounts (Slicing/tipping off) by a renowned company like redbus is highly unfortunate.
