Red Bus Complaints & Reviews

I took ticket from Bangalore to Angamaly on 16th sep 2015 from redbus.in website where i found one bust with fare Rs129. I booked the ticket and I got the confirmed ticket through sms and email. But on the journey date at 2pm I am getting a call from the bus operator that there was a mistake from redbus, I have to pay the rest amount that is somewhere around Rs 1170 more. I called redbus and spoke with redbus rep Climent, I explained him but he was so rude and he was thretning me that you go and convince the bus operator to allow you inside or else he will cancel my ticket. I asked him I saw the fare in redbus website and i booked the ticket by paying the whole amount mentioned in there website, if its there mistake they should take the responsibility no. I am not the first time customer for redbus i have booked ticket more than 15 times from redbus and see redbus how they treat there good customers. I am really fedup with redbus.in At last they cancelled my ticket and i didn't get the refund amount yet. I will not recommend anyone to take tickets from redbus. Abhibus is gives more offer and there customer care is also good and decent.

I had a confirmed Ernakulam - Bangalore booking booked vide Messrs Redbus, on Greenline Travel on 29-Aug-2015. Messrs Redbus had arbitrarily cancelled the ticket without checking with me, and I was left in the lurch for my return EKM-BLR trip. The refund amount of INR 2009 that I had paid has not been refunded to my account despite multiple emails to Redbus support, and Redbus Care email ids. More than 2 weeks have elapsed, and I have still not received my refund. KIndly help. Thanks Venugopal

The policy has created by redbus is zero refund on journey date cancellation . If you asked customer care they simply said this is operator policy we couldnot do anything for that. Then why they run that website. So better book the ticket to agents who took simple commission and help them to earn. Dont book tickets through redbus anycast. They are themodern day cheaters. I never seen this kind of technology cheating anywhere in my life. Eventhough beggers are walking whole day for begging but these fellows are luxury beggers. Very very frustrated created by redbus . I got ticket on srs travels oddanchatiram to chennai on redbus. The boarding point was ottanchathiram but the agent told me tat i[censored] booked ticket in redbus means go to palani bus wont stop here like that. So redbus wont bother about customer safe. Their aiming was begging for commission.

Booked tickets for bus through redbus, a/c bus was poor in service with aggressive and unacceptable staff behaviour, a/c was not working properly, a/c vents were leaking lots of water to make me ill. While returning no from destination, no bus info been provided, when called customer service, advisor was rude and unhelpful over the call. Disgusting service. Waste of money, company should be banned as can't deliver the service promised and money which customer's have been charged.

I booked a ticket through red bus in a travels called Nita travels in Coimbatore. After booking the ticket, in the ticket there is no detail about boarding point also there is no contact number. I tried to contact the red bus customer care to get the details of the operator, But i didnot get. I enquired many travels regarding that bus boarding point, but i couldnt find. Finally i missed the bus. Now they not willing to give refund amount for that.They telling I am not eligible for refund.

Hi, I booked a ticket in RedBus.in - Sri KRISHNA TRAVELS to trave on 17 Aug 2015 from Dindigul to Chennai for 3 members, theTicket no. TH9E37573574. Onboading time 9:45 PM & departure 10:00 PM. We were waiting from 9:00 PM, but bus was not arrived and calling the Contacts given in ticket / Redbus.in... but NO RESPONSE from them, made around 30 CALLS. As we had an important appointment in the very next day, i sent a TICKET CANCELLATION email to [protected]@redbus.in with 'But not arrived on time" reason @ 11:30 PM and travelled in another vehicle. Driver had called from another number around 11:40 PM and said we will arrive shortly... so driver called up after 1 1/2 hour for intimation... till that no response from them. When i approach the driver for refund, they redirected to 'RedBus'.. After that i called RedBus in toll free[protected]which is charged) and followed up with them from 17 Aug to till today... everyday different people will attend the call & ask for the entire story. After long follow up, on 2 Sep they agreeded to refund my money with in 7 working days & i asked for confirmation mail/message, that person said that it is already recorded so no worries.. But money was not refunded as stated, so i called them again on 9 Sep... one of them picked up call and DIDN'T RESPOND PROPERLY about my queries... keep on telling some else & blaming us talked for 30 minutes... I frustrated. For phone calls alone i spent around 150 rupees. Please help me to get my ticket money Rs. 1850. Thanks.

I had booked 2 online tickets from red bus, the Ticket no: THA[protected] and PNR no:[protected] of that booking. I had booked AC sleeper ticket but travel don't provide AC. I immedeatly talked with concern person of bus and also talked with red bus customer cars but couldn't got any positive response. I suffered a lot and was misguided by your side. I could not got any intimation before boarding in bus. I think its very serious issue as per consumer low. Please provide me explanation and my refund immediately other wise i will take it forward and go in legal action

I had cancelled my bus reservation 8 hours before boarding and they are just refunding service tax charges. this seems to be very wrong and after this i don't think we would like to book bus from red bus with such a policy. Ticket no. THA[protected] Date of Journey: 10 september 2015 Travels : Hans Travels boarding time : 8PM Thanks, Aparna Paliwal

Redbus.in lists the buses which are not being properly inspected. I happened to book a bus on Aug 23rd with the ticket number TH9M65757683. Below I list the issues one by one. 1. The bus arrived at the pickup location after 1 hour. 2. The driver was drunk. We handed him over to the local police at Thanjavur. So, someone else told that he is the owner of the travels(Karthik Ramu Travels) and drove the bus promising that he will arrange a driver at Kumbakonam but he didn't. 3. The bus was hit on a lorry around 3.00 A.M. and we all were dropped at the place of accident and the driver/owner didn't pay refund or arrange any other mode of transport. So, we had to spend our own money to return to Chennai. 4. There was NO Emergency Exit on the bus we traveled and the only main door was jammed due to the accident so we had to jump through a broken glass window out of it. 5. When asked redbus.in they say that they inspect the buses before they list. 6. When raised a request with redbus.in they rejected the refund request stating that the journey date is over. 7. I wanted to talk to some higher authority from redbus.in regarding this since the issue were not resolved for more three weeks now. I requested for the appellate authority's contact which is not listed on their website but the senior executive Mr. Balakrishna told that there is no appellate authority or any senior authority I could talk to and he will address my issue within 24 hours. But now it's been more than a week since Mr. Balakrishna (balakrishna.[protected]@redbus.in) promised me and he never called. There was not even an email revert.

I booked a ticket, through redbus.in from mumbai to bangalore for a journey to be undertaken on 29 August 2015. The Bus was from Geepee Travels, the details of the ticket are as under TIN :- TH9R87783387 PNR :- AGB9F4M1 the bus number was as sent to me on SMS was NL01B0891 Firstly the bus arrived more than 1 hour late and Secondly the AC of the so called Air-Conditioned bus was not working. Knowing fully well of no arrangement for ventilation in a closed AC bus nothing was done by the bus operators other than the fake promises of getting it fixed at the next big stop which never happened, which led to a great deal of inconvenience, and also suffocation to all the passengers. I sincerely urge and request you to take serious action against the bus operators and the site itself for not checking the credibility of the operators before recognizing it.

I was trying to book a bus ticket from Bnagalore to Pune for Journey Date 29-Aug-2015. But ticket booked for the same date i.e. 16th Aug-2015. I called red bus executive they told me i can't cancel the ticket as per their policy. I was in pune so there is no point to book the ticket the ticket for the same day from Bengalore to Pune. This is not possible at all. I asked them many times is there any way to cancel the ticket or postponed my journey date but they told me only one thing they can't help me out on this. This happened because of technical fault and on top of that they were not helping me to cancel or postponed the ticket. Then i called to VRL operator as i booked ticket with them. They told me if i can try before 4 hours leaving the bus they will do that. My question is that why they hide this information. If they are made these kind policy then their licence should be cancelled to hide this important information.

I really had a very very bad experience with red bus. I think these are bunch of fraud people running the show. The main business is to cheat the customers. On 7th Aug I booked two tickets to travel from Bangalore to Hyderabad. The booking was confirmed. I received a call from the bus operator stating the bus had an accident and can not travel. I immediately called to Red bus and stated the problem. Red bus asked me to book for another bus and money will be refund in 7 days. I have already called 20 times. They are having a toll customer care (already spent 300 rs in the call, refund amt 2780). Till now my money has not refund . Now every time I call red bus they are making a new excuse. When I call today, they are saying no complain is raised till now...
