But i was not able to cancel from the ios app. I tried calling customer care but around 3-4times it was busy and i could not able to contact your customer care. I have tried my best to cancel this ticket but lost hope from your side. Iam not in a position to lose money where i was no way related because of the techincal issues from yourside. And when i discussed with your customer care they asked me to write this big mail. I love redbus a lot of your service but i am worried if i would lose my trust towards you. I have already complained in facebook redbus page.

We booked name of Somashekhar Bulla on 6th Oct 15 from Sindhanur to Bangalore and ticket ticket number is TIN:THB[protected], PNR:TS-RB20236995 SNY/248158/RAI-MAN-SIR-BALLARI-BNG 555 WITH MEENAKSHI TRAVELLS. AFTER SOME TIME WE RECIEVED MESSAGE, 'Dear Passanger, today bus is cancelled due to break down onile will refund ur full amount' www.meenakshibus.com. after that we checked meenakshi number about seat number U7 and they some other names. immediately we booked with Sugama with redbuss only. since yestarday i am wasting my time & patience with sending mail & reaching with customer care number, there is no response. redbuss customer care is very worst and i am loosing my believness about Redbus & PayUmoney.

This is to inform you all that I had booked my ticket from Hyderabad to Goa for the 1st of October, 2015(Ticket reference no.- THAK[protected] in Akbar travels but were seated on a different bus called newdhanunjaya . the bus was supposed to leave 630 in the the evening but it left at 10.30 in the night. They stopped for two for 1-2 hours on the way(apart from dinner and breakfast) for no apparent reason and what surprises me the most is that the driver did not know the ways in Goa and drove us around for more than an hour extra to find his way. He dropped us off at 3.15 in the afternoon at Panjim, Goa instead of 9.30am. We lost most of our day because of no actual reason but simply the ignorance of the driver, the bus attendant and the travel agency (Akbar travels). I demand a refund for my tickets from Redbus as I had booked my ticket through them.

Date - 5th Oct 2015. Client- Chamunda Travels. Incident: Just because of some commission and money they stop bus at very worst place for dinner . they did not provide us a single bowl and not even water itself . it was too worst place. cost was touching like 5 star hotel and i was feeling that i am in Jail. top of that driver was so rude and countinously saying to talk to redbus because they have their cut over there. Red Bus must shame on such uneghical behaviour with their customes.

I have called red bus on several occasions and they are not in a state to provide me a refund. It's been more than a month since I am behind for the refund. I request you people please do not book tickets through red bus. Really we need to act and shud business of such a company The bus was booked for purple travels and they have also processed the refund but red bus is holding the money Red bus makes business in this way by not refunding money and holding with them Please do not use their service. You shall face a lot of problems as I am one here Hope this helps all

I had booked a ticket from delhi-kashmere gate to rishikesh for yesterday night.The Bus no. UP65AT0444 of AG travels was been booked for the same. First of all there was an issue of allotment of seat no 37 to three different passengers..then came the issue with the ac of the bus which did not consists of locks due to which the bus was extra chilled and was unbearable to stay .Then the bus was in such high speed that we the passengers at back seat was bumped every now and then into the seat or the fan which was really hurting. And the last one was out of control which is this that at haridwar the bus suddenly stopped and they started shouting that we have reached haridwar and they did not convey correctly that the passengers of rishikesh has to get down of the bus as they will be sent in a different bus because this bus will not go to rishikesh..so there was lot of confusion due to which four passengers including me didn't get what's happening and we did not get out of the bus. When we got to know wht was happening we told them that we have left here only so they said OK we will adjust you all in any roadways bus and brought us to bus stand..from there they said come with us and when we all get down they suddenly disappeared and ran away with the bus. We were left at haridwar bus stop without any arrangements done for reaching haridwar neither we were given our money back for that..these people are frod and I strongly suggest not to board any red bus i[censored] want a comfortable journey.

Shameful to say we have organisations like red bus who deduct money by fraud means and don't book tickets over and above they don't tell you for 10 days...After that they offer ticket with double cost ...The company should be disbanded for fraudulent business ...Shame on Red bus

I have tried to book a bus ticket on 30.09.2015. While making the payment (credit card) the amount was debited in my a/c but the ticket was not booked. This was happened twice (second time I confirmed from their support team, that things won't fail again), I hereby attached the error message shown on your site. Also, I got a same message in my mail id and mobile. The payment details are shown below for your reference

Recently(24-SEP-2015) I booked a ticket from Bangalore to Vizag(Anakapalli) through REDBUS. The Bus was supposed to come at 5-15 pm from Marathalli and it was broke down. I waited for 2-30 hours and called up the REDBUS call center to cancel the ticket. In the middle of the conversation, they disconnected the call.(FIRST TIME) with no response.

At 8-45 pm, the Bus Driver(VRL TRAVLES) called ( exactly after 3-15 hours from the scheduled start) to find me at teh bus stop . I told that I cancelled my ticket with REDBUS since it was too late and not sure whether the journey could happen or not.

Again I called(SECOND TIME after an hour) the REDBUS, they just noted down the request for cancellation and told that email would be received in 6 hours regarding the refund of money. but this didnt happen.

Again, (THIRD TIME on next day), I called teh call center, again they asked for the problem despite the complaint number i told them. Finally same old response I received (the email would be recevied in 6 hours).

After 5 days (FOURTH TIME), I called the REDBUS callcenter, again they told the sweet answer that Bus was broke down and it made it to complete the journey after some time and finally concluded that money can not be refunded.

And this is not the first time, It happened for me with REDBUS. I admit that real time problems can happen with any bus and at any time. But its the responsibility of the ONLINE vendor to deal with in case of any issue.

RED BUS is simply a stupid ONLINE vendor nothing else. MY sincere advice to ALL is better book with direct bus vendor rather than approaching this STUPID online portal (WWW.REDBUS.IN)

its simply mere waste of time and energy to deal with REDBUS incase you come up with any issue regarding the BUS TRAVEL.

I have Booked Bus from Aluva to Bangalore via redbus.com on Sunday, July 5, 2015, Below are the ticket Details : Ticket no: TH7W32586824 PNR no: TS-RB16928798YNV/22394/ERKN-BLR Bus Operator : Nila Travels Total Fare :Rs. 1, 500 On Just previous day of the journey, i got a call from a lady (She told she is from Nila Travels ) i have been informed that, This bus is cancelled due to some technical issue, so please book another Bus for your journey, also they will be giving the refund of full amount with in 2 week to the same account from where the Booking is done (i did payment via redbus.com using my HDFC netbanking ). After long time since there is no refund i called redbus customer care and asked about it, then they told, refund is not yet initiated, because i did not requested for that..!!! Then they raised request from their end for refund of the same and told that it will be done in 2 - 3 week of time. Refund Request # RB[protected] . Now i could see that they have closed this refund request stating, that the request must be done with in 10 days of the journey date..!! My question is : 1. If that is the case why the Bus operator told me that the credit will happen automatically to the account since the bus is cancelled.! 2. If the Bus is getting cancelled by the Operator, why the People should run behind redbus/Operator for the refund, as they are well aware that the money should be given back to the customer. Please help me in this..

You have to cancel that booked tickets and re-book for another bus. Immediately I called to inquire about this call to your Pune office[protected]. The operator said that he will inform me within one hour. But there was no response after two hours. constantly I have called to your helpline no.[protected], but there was not any satisfactory answer...they were not sure about cancellation of the Patel Travel Bus and intimate in short time. At 6.30 Mr. Gyaneshwar form Pune Helpline said me that still the intimation of cancellation of Patel Travel Bus is received but I may travel by another bus and he has informed this matter to Higher authority...my booked amount Rs.4908/- will be repaid surely. After that very inconveniently we have traveled from Pune to Ahmedabad and at noon time on 22nd September, 2015 on my mobile phone [protected], I received SMS about feedback for the journey which was not made in reality. I am frequently book ticket from your site but this experience is very much bed..shocking...not expected. I really surprise about your confidentiality and services. pl. respond me as early as possible on my moblie [protected] and e-mail: [protected]@yahoo.co.in and repay Rs. 4908/- (whole amount refund) otherwise I have to take another action.

Hello, This is with reference to the bus ticket THA[protected] which my wife booked for Bangalore Chennai on 11/09/2015 timing 09:15 PM reporting & 9:30 PM departure time (Seat L6, GNR travels) and the contact number provided [protected]( was not reachable on that day). She managed to reach the boarding point at 9 pm itself and the bus was not available at 9.30 pm also. After making so many calls to the redbus customer care, one of the agent came upto her around at 10.30 and asked her to get into a TT saying that another bus has been arranged somewhere distant and she can go in that bus. She declined him saying that she will cancel the bus ticket as she was not willing to go with him in a TT alone at that time ( Hope you all have your mothers and sisters and imagine if they have this situation !!! Do you expect a woman to go alone in a TT with an unknown guy?? Dont you all read newspapers??Then for what the hell you have given options "Boarding point" in your site???) As she had to go to Chennai for an emergency reason, she cancelled the ticket and arranged another bus from a different agency, also she raised a complaint(Compliant number:[protected] . Refund never happened And the resolution provided after 3 days bloody investigation is that she traveled in the bus which she booked first..Do you think that we play this game for a mere amount of 800??? is this the bloody service you provide to the customers???? I am not at all bothered about the amount, and if you want to loot the people, you can do this in any ways... But if you people provide this kind of service to the customers let it be. I had a feeling that redbus is the customer oriented service provider but hereafter i have to search for other options and to save my near ones from being cheated i have to inform the whole world about your damn service..The amount is not a big deal for us but the solution you provided was something like we have been pictured as fraudsters. So i have to proceed with filing a case against this service and also have to share my experience in all social networking sites, so that atleast 1% will be saved from the looting hands of RED bus.. Now i understand that RED is for DEVIL!!! thanking you for your valuable service, Nidhin.
