Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

I booked a bus from redbus that run by pepsu that went to Chandigarh from delhi isbt. It was to depart at 11 am in the morning. I arrived at isbt at 10 am. I waited for the bus. The bus did not arrive at 11. I asked on the counter that whether the bus is late or not. So they told me the bus won't arrive. I talked to the pepsu helpline and they told me that the bus was not available from the past one week. I don't know why the redbus app let me book a non functional bus on first hand. Then i raised a complaint to refund my amount. They told me you will get a refund within 14 working days from the date of complaint which was 2nd April. I tried contacting them again after 14 working days. They told me to wait another 48 hours. I have still not received my refund of amount 707 INR.

I’ve booked a bus for my brother whose flight was scheduled from Nagpur. The booking took place from Redbus through Amazon. I got to the boarding point half an hour ago but the operator kept ignoring my calls, see in attachments. Finally I had no choice but to book another. After an hour, when I was almost halfway through, the bus operator called me about bus being late.

I’ve already informed Redbus before departure time and later in the day they informed me bus operator denying the refund.

I booked the bus online because I trusted the Redbus name not the bus company, now I feel like scammed by both of them. Please resolve my complaint

Booked 2 tickets for 2.2k, when tried to reschedule to next day, it asked 0.9k extra to pay. Spoke to customer care but is of no use, they will simply say it is not free, it is mentioned in terms and conditions. Simply adverstied as FREE.

Subject: Request for Full Refund of Bus Ticket

Dear RedBus Team,

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I encountered with my recent bus ticket booking on RedBus. I had booked a ticket for a journey from Durgapur (City center) to Karunamoyee (Salt Lake) on 15.4.2023 with booking ID TS5C11990833. However, I was informed that my ticket was cancelled by RedBus due to unforeseen circumstances on your end, which caused an inconvenience to my travel plans.

While I understand that unforeseen situations can arise, I was disappointed to note that only half of the ticket amount was refunded to me. As per your refund policy, I am entitled to a full refund of the ticket amount in case of a cancellation from RedBus' end.

I would like to request RedBus to kindly refund the remaining half of the ticket amount as soon as possible. I believe it is only fair to receive the full refund as the cancellation was done from your side and it caused inconvenience to my travel plans. I have been a loyal customer of RedBus for several years, and I have always appreciated the reliable and convenient service you provide. However, this recent experience has left me dissatisfied.

I have attached the booking details and the proof of the partial refund for your reference. I request you to review the matter and take appropriate action to refund the remaining amount at the earliest.

I hope to have a positive resolution to this issue and continue to use RedBus for my future travel bookings. I look forward to your prompt response.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Subhabrata Konar

I booked bus for tirupur to Chennai on 5th of February 2023 ( national travels) through redbus app. My bus got brokedown after travelling around 60kms near bhavani. Immediately raised concern in red bus. They are reluctant. Waited alone in the road for 3 hrs from 11.30 to 2am. Travels didn't arrange alternate bus nor helped me to reach back home by arranging cab. mechanic saw the bus and said it will easily take 5 to 6 hrs to repair.. since being a women travelling alone booked a private cab and travelled back to tirupir at my own cost. Raised complaint in redbus to refund my hard earned money incurred for cab expenses. However redbus Is rude and the executives said refund can't be given. I asked them to share a written communication to take this case to a higher level. But they are not ready to given written mail and they didnt refund my hard earned money. Pls help me in getting my money back. And charge appropriate action against red bus for their insensitivity and negligence. Pls charge penAlty to tehm

We booked a bus from redbus from tirupati to gooty for journey date[protected]. Bus should depart from tirupati at 9:30pm as per the redbus timings. But the actual APSRTC timings are different, bust departed from tirupati at 11:30pm, which is two hours lately. Because of the incorrect information provided by redbus, we faced issue and waited for 2 hours. This inconvenience is not acceptable, take action.

14 April 2023 sahibaa sharma seat no L 4 for delhi to jodhpur fraud bus services .roadway are bettr thn them.i want to my money refund .also fax transport service written complaint to them

Yesterday, I had got booked two seats in the name of Sh.Shiv Narain Singh and Sh. Ranjeet Singh for travel from Delhi to Darbhanga. My family members were already on the way to catch the bus for travel today at 14:00pm, however, I received message through whatsapp that my bus has been cancelled.

This is not fair. This is cheating and my family has suffered a lot in such scorch summer time. Despite knowing the fact that a very old man is the passenger for captioned travel, cancelling bus abruptly is cheating and unnecessary harassment for no fault of common man.

I am going to lodge an FIR against this deliberate fraud.

I reserve the right to be commensurately compensated by the company for causing such mental and physical agony to my family members for no fault of theirs.

The bus I am travelling right now is not at all in a good condition. The seats are very poor and the seats which I have booked are really not in a way to seat on. This was really unexpected. It would be appreciated if redBus would return my money back so that I can take some other bus. I still have more than 300 kms to cover.
It’s very urgent. Please look into the matter soon.

My brother booked a ticket for me from Indore to Bundi through Redbus via the HDFC Smartbuy platform. The ticket destination was Bundi, so it was supposed to drop me at Bundi, but when we reached Kota they said the bus
did not go further. It was around 05:30 am so the travels office (Navrang
Travels) was also closed. Therefore, I had to take another bus to Bundi.

The message that I received for the trip:
Dear Passenger, Your Bus details from Indore to Bundi on 10/04/2023 are PNR: 402000, Bus No: RJ-20-PB-1457, Driver details: Monu Rider, [protected] - BITLA SOFTWARE PRIVATE LIMITED

Hi,
My name is Sajit Sagar and I had booked 2 AC Sleeper tickets for me and my wife through redbus for travel from Vijayawada to Bengaluru on 08/03/2023 in KKaveri travels, Ticket No - TS[protected], PNR No - TS[protected]KEAS. As per the itinerary the bus had to leave Vijayawada at 21:30 hours and reach Bengaluru the next day 09/03/2023 @ 08:55 hours. We boarded the bus from the origin boarding point and the bus left. Everything was well till 01:00 hours at midnight when the bus stopped at a place known as Ulavapadu and the bus driver woke us from our sleep and asked us to get down from bus as the bus broke down due to engine failure. All the passengers were made to get down from the bus and our luggage were also removed from the luggage cabin behind the bus and given to us. When we asked the reason for bus breakdown they replied rudely saying the engine failure is nit in their hands and they cannot do anything. They asked us to lodge complaint with the service provider if we want. This horrifying experience did not end there as we were stranded and waiting at the roadside for the mercy of other buses plying in that road to stop their bus by looking at us waving them to stop. In the meantime some buses stopped and some of the passengers were lucky to move ahead of the stampede created by all the passengers and boarded these buses by filling the leftover seats. I couldn't board one as I had to take care of my wife who's suffering from backache and couldn't make her reach the other buses in this stampede. In the meantime I contacted redbus support through chat and got a reply from them that they contacted the bus driver and redbus cannot help as its a technical issue. I also lodged a complaing vide Complaint No[protected] and was told ill get resolution for my complaint within 48 hours and the fact is till now after 2 days also I haven't received any communication from redbus. In the chat they asked me to either wait for 3 hours till the bus operator arranges for alternate vehicle or proceed on my own to my destination. How will I make alternate arrangement for my travel at midnight 2 o clock at a place not known and alien to me that too with my ailing better half who couldn't travel on seater bus. We waited thereon the roadside till 4:30 hours believing the bus driver has arranged for alternate bus and it will reach soon but the truth was that they were just playing with us and there was no arrangements done by them. We were around 10 passengers left at 4:30 hours and we confronted the 3 bus staff present there asking them to make alternate arrangements for our travel instead of resting on the chair when we all passengers were standing with our luggage for more than 3 hours. The bus staff started fighting with us saying they are not gonna help and we can lodge complaint wherever we want. At 5 in the morning we waved at a APSRTC non ac seater bus to stop and all o[censored]s boarded that bus which was heading to tirupathi. We dint get seats to sit and my wife and other ladies were really troubled and tortured by standing for more than 3 hours near roadside and now again stand inside bus. We paid for the bus tickets till tirupathi and after reaching tirupathi at 10 in the morning boarded another KSRTC non ac seater bus to Bengaluru and finally reached Bengaluru by 16:00 hours. I would like to know the role of redbus in situations like this as we are availing service from redbus and not the bus operator as we are booking tickets from redbus site and making payment to redbus and not the operator. It's the duty of redbus to get the due diligence done of the bus operator first and then get them added in their site. Only after I went through the review of KKaveri travels I got to know that this is not the first time this operator is fooling passengers by saying the bus broke down due to engine failure but its their habit and they love to fool their passengers everytime but still redbus loves and likes them adding them in their site. The most important thing to mention is that I haven't received any call from redbus the next day morning asking if the bus operator had aranged any alternate mode of transport or were we able to find any alternative. Redbus is just bothered about getting the money from passengers after ticket is booked and then forget everything. I want full refund of the ticket fare of Rs 3, 150/- that I have paid redbus with additional Rs 10, 000/- compensation for deficiency in service which resulted in mental agony and trauma for me and my ailing wife. I am still waiting redbus team to contact me and provide resolution complaint lodged by me. I will be forced to move legally if I don't get the refund along with the compensation

My self vipin travelling from trivandrum to ramanattukara on 09/04/2023 . I have booked ticket via red bus on A1 travels and have paid 945 rs for the same .The bus operators checked ma details and then only i have entered the bus .In midway one female passenger came near to my seat and she informed the bus operator that my seat was also booked for the female passenger .From my belief i didnot get any information about the fact that it was reserved for females .It didnot indicate even in the app while booking .I have contacted the customer care red bus and the bus operator they are simply showed negligence by saying i have entered my gender as female .I am being a passenger of red bus for the past two years and i didnot enter such thing ever and never before, i am pretty sure that i didnot enter ma gender as female in order to book the seat . The bus operator have told me that either i need to get down the bus at that moment .Its been already towards midnight and i was not able to get down in the middle of the road .Finally they said that i can travel by sitting in the hood near the driver seat .I have paid almost 1000 rs for ticket and still travelling with this much difficulty .I demand either my refund or compensation from the company since the bus operator A1 travels blaming your company only for the cause .Ma ticket details have been checked twice while entering the bus and in between the journey by a checker none of them have raised the question about the female seat because they were also unaware of it .My travell bus no is given below
