I had a amount of rs.200 in my wallet. I tried to book ticket from vijayanagaram to kakinada from rajendra.[protected]@gmail.com. While booking ticket transaction had cancelled and amount had been deducted till now amount is not refunded to my red bus wallet. I called to customer care they said amount will be refunded in 7 banking working days but it is of approximately 20 days till now i haven't got my refund

I booked a bus ticket from coimbatore to Hyderabad and Boarding time as in tickets is 31/05/2016 00:30 A.M and reporting time is 31/05/2016 00:15.

I reached the boarding point mentioned in the tickets on time.

But the bus arrived at 31/05/2016 03:00 A.M. I waited there for around 3 Hrs. Once the bus arrived i stepped into the bus that moment the VAN boy says"BUS SEATS WERE FILLED". Then I showed my confirmed ticket to him, he just replys "GET CANCEL YOUR TICKET AND REFUND YOU AMOUNT BACK".

When I explained him that i want to be in Hyderabad tomorrow, he just took the bus way and says "THIS TICKET NOT BELONG TO OUR BUS".

When i called to travels "AEON TRAVELS" to the number mentioned in the ticket, they says "REDBUS ISSUED YOU A WRONG TICKED" better you talk to them"

Moreover the people treated me like anything.

They DO NOT WORRY ABOUT BY TIME VALUE.

I had booked a ticket at redbus on february 26th 2016 from delhi to mandi(Himachal pradesh) in laxmi holidays .With boarding point r.K.Ashram metro station, pillar no. 26 panchkuian road near rama krishna ashram metro station gate no. 3, paharganj. Ticket no: tj3u93945469, pnr no: rh68hkq. The bus departure time was mentioned as 18.00 hours in the ticket, were as the bus departed before 17.45 hours as told by bystanders, thus leaving me on the road with no other option rather to take the back seat of an alternate bus called himalayan nomad and pay even more amount extra as i was going for an interview at iit mandi. I have contacted redbus the very next day through email and have been contacting them through mail and customer care ever since. But they are not taking any action to refund my amount instead giving mental agony on their services. I kindly request to solve my problem. Ticket details and email correspondence details have been attached herewith.

Fraud, cheating on the online booking. I have booked ticket on may 5 2016, bus never came and hans travels peson told me after 1 hour bus already left. I will file legal complain againts red bus.

We booked 2 hotel rooms from red bus at haridwar for dated[protected].

Booking id : htlpqguw35 and booking id : htl5z6q6ad at hotel holy basil arya nagar chowk, haridwar road jwalapur

The booking was confirmed. When we were to reach haridwar we called up at hotel for confirming the booking and informing we will be reaching by this time and how to reach the hotel.

The hotel staff stated that the our booking was cancelled as no room was available, but we did not received any message regarding this, the time was around 5 pm when we called at hotel.

After that we called the customer care service of red bus for the same, the person was just fooling us every time we call him that he has requested the concern department for making call to us for the issue and transferring our booking to another hotel.

After continuous follow up with regarding the another hotel booking for us from 6 p. M to 11 p. M. At last call also we were informed that we are searching hotel and they said that there is room in hotel gangotri and advised that there is a suit room available shall the book our booking, we confirmed yes please do as it was getting very late and we are new to place and waiting at bus stand since we reached there. He said he just confirm booking from hotel and revert us on the same in 10 mints. But we did not received any call. We called in hotel but the hotel said there was booking came for mr. Ravi and not mr. Rahul or mr. Sachin.

We again call the customer care after that, no body picked up our call till 12 pm we were standing at bus stand, trying to reach them. But no revert.
We have to search rooms there after very difficult we got rooms and that to on very high rate.

The service they gave us was just pathetic, they don’t even felled shamed in making us fool. We waited for 6 hrs and after follow-up for 6 hours we have to look our self for room.
The person called us in between 12-12:30 am and asked sir have you got hotel, ok i have found one if you have found then i shall initiate refund for you now.
I want to fill a complaint against them for fooling us and not even bothering to transfer the booking to another hotel, when booking was cancelled from their side, if we would have not called before then after reaching hotel we would have been known.

Please take a serious action against them, in our case we were there with ladies but if same kind of thing happened with any alone lady, anything can be happened just because of negligence of this person.


Thanks,
Sachin saini

Till date no response was given from their end and asked for call back from their end till date none has been given. I'm fed up writing to them. By this por response from them i'm so much irritated. I'm gonna raise this issue to consumer court regarding this issue if there is no action taken and if they don't accept the demands.

After that i seen the seats not booked again i booked and do a new transaction and again 450 debited (22 may[protected]payuibibowebpvtltd[protected] may 2016 450.00). Can you do the necessary steps to get back the amount.

I booked a neeta bus through redbus.In from indore to pune for journey date 16th may, 2016. I received a message that boarding time would be 7.50pm at rajendra nagar. My complaints are:
1. The bus (Mp30p5500) arrived almost 1hr late at rajendra nagar.
2. At midnight, the driver allowed entrance of local/unreserved passenger inside the bus. Those passenger were sleeping on the floor of the bus hence making reserved passenger movement difficult. They could have stolen goods.
So i would request authority to take necessary action. Otherwise due to such attitude of cabin crew, passenger will hesitate to travel in such buses.
Thanks

Date of travel - 6 april 2016

I booked 2 tickets through redbus The bus was cancelled at the last moment and redbus CCE said refund will be in my account within 24 hours.
They also asked me to make another booking, so I booked 2 tickets again and paid again.
It's been a month and after several follow-ups and emails they are refusing to refund saying bus was not cancelled.
the CCE's are just trying to buy time so that I give up and stop following up
