      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560008

      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.

          I have already booked tickets for my two sons for travel to be made on 12.04.2016 through redbus in madurai harsha travels. While booking the ticket for my husband for travel to be made on the same date ie 12.04.2016, net work got struck up and i do not know whether ticket booked or not but in my sb account, an amount of rs.750 was deducted being the ticket value for travel to be undertaken 09.04.2016. But i mentioned the date of travel as 12.04.2016. As such, i request you to cancel the ticket if booked for travel on 09.07.2016 and refund the amount to my sb credit. I will separately book for my husband for the travel on 12.04.2016.

                latter(14th Apr 2016 at 6pm)i noticed my mistake and contacted national travels and red bus customer care
                the both said no possibility to cancell aswell as change the travel date. .

                my family members, friends and me a frequent user of red bus but now I decided to avoid red bus and I m going to spread this to all to avoid REDBUS.

                VERY WORST SERVICE

                  I have booked a ticket for the journey from Chennai to Dindigul on Mar21 - 2016. I faced so many network issues while booking, few like your seat has been already booked and you are unable to book it, still it is available to be booked and so many turn overs while I have reached the payment gateway. After all this I've booked a ticked first, it got canceled and I got a call that the amount would be refunded. Again I tried to book in the same bus service using Redbus. Same issue repeated and again my amount got withdrawn. It got cancelled twice and my amount withdrawn twice from my account. Later I got a call stating that my amount would be refunded in next 7 working days but still I didn't get back my amount credited.
                  Red Bus customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                  Ticket Reference numbers are mentioned below:
                  1. Reference No: 82852876
                  2. Reference No: 82850577
                  No action has been taken yet.
                  Yet to take the necessary action.
                  Worst response. Users hate the customer support provided by Redbus.

                  Wrong information

                  Bus Departure & arrival Time mentioned on the site were wrong.
                  The bus reachedthe destination late by more than 2 hours.

                  Attached is the bus ticket.

                          I have booked a wrong ticket from red bus . Then i asked from customer care for refund of money after cancellation.
                          They sent the message in my mobile that money will reflect in my account after 3- 5 working days .But still they din't refund the money. Almost 10-12 days gone .
                          I am asking from red bus company ... If your service is not good(I.E if you are not capable to five service within 5 days ) ...Then why you are commited from customer .

                          Pls refund my money immediately ...And send the confirmation message to my mobile no . [protected]

                              On 22-March-16 I booked a ticket from Ahmedabad to Rajkot for 23-March-16. I paid through axis credit card. Payment was successful. I got payment successful email also. I didn't receive any PNR number via mail or message. When I was about to board, bus operator didn't allow me to as my ticket was not booked. So I called REDBUS customer care, he said there was some technical error and your ticket was not booked. My concern is I had not received any mail or notification for booking failure. I had to attend some meeting at Rajkot urgently. So I had to travel through a private cab which costed me Rs.5000 as due to festival there were no seats available in other travels. I sent two mail to customer care of REDBUS and am not getting any response. Today, I sent reminder mail and they gave me new reference number again but didnt answer for previous mail. I can send a mail chain of REDBUS if required.

                              Please guide me what shall I do?
                              Thank You in advance

                                I got a call from Red bus and the travellers that the bus got cancelled. Red bus agent himself mentioned they will initiate ticket cancellation from their end on 27th March 2016. Till now I spoke with red bus customer care 6 times and they provide the same response wait for 1 day we will initiate the refund.

                                        We have booked tickets from delhi to moradabad(Volvo) journey date 23.03.2016 & a vice versa journey dated 26.02.2016(Ac shatabdi) but regrets as both of the journeys results in pathetic experience faced by us.
                                        Firstly from delhi to mbd our seat no.Were 34&39 but 39 no. Dont even exist in volvo & red bus have charged us for the seat that dont even exist.
                                        Secondly in the return journey our seat no. Were 13&14 but suprisingly some other passengers also having an online ticket with the same seat no. As a result after so much of chaos we have to get down from the bus in the outskirts of the city.
                                        We will definitely take this case of yours in consumer forum for cheating & harresment.
                                        Red Bus customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
