Sir I booked two tickets for trevelling from Lucknow to Delhi through Red Bus (R.S Yadav Travels).Sir Firstly the start point of bus was specified as Piccadily Hotel but when we reached there the traveller took us 35 km through a auto rickshaw where we found the bus.Moreover when we reached Kanpur the bus was stooped by the police for checking and then was seized by them due to improper papers of the bus.We were left alone in middle of the journey at 2 a.m.No alternative arrangements were made.The person whose contact number was provided during booking stooped receiving the phone.When we asked about the money they said it will be refunded but no refund has been made. How can Redus specify such a fraud travellers. I want my Refund back and a strict action against R.S Yadav Travels. Ticket No TH9Q79636469 PNR G4TQDY4 Thanking You

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...

We booked AC Bus Ticket through RedBus - Carnival Holidays Mumbai Starting from Borivali West return. In the morning the Bus with without Air Condition upon complaining they asked us to adjust according to situation. After that they changed the Bus having in Dadar we had to wait under bright sun for 30 to 45 minutes. They only covered four sight seance excluded Siddhivinayak Mandir, Haji Ali etc. covered only Musuem, Gateway of India, Boot Ghar, 3D Show, Mahalakshmi Mandir only . Where as it should have covered hanging garden, and other important land marks in mumbai. They charged INR 1200.00 extra for entry fees which is very high compared to actual charges. They have cheated us. We want our half money back for inaccurate trip. Contact [protected] or [protected]

I contacted the customer care but the problem was not resolved, they said that someone concerned would call me in a while. Please resolve this problem. My mobile number is [protected]

I booked a ticket from Ranchi to Patna with "Prithivi Tours And Travels Pvt Ltd" on 11 Aug, today at 02:52 pm I received a message on my registered mobile that "Due to unavoidable reasons the bus for your trip dated[protected] has been cancelled". I checked with Prithivi Travels and they also said that bus is not running on 16 Aug, hence my PNR(JVPPQHA) is still showing confirm instead of cancel, and he said they can't arrange any alternate and I'll get my refund in four days. Well this is not at all acceptable since it has not been cancelled from the customer end and then why should customer wait so long for his refund. All my concern is arrange an alternate before 16 Aug or refund the booking amount ASAP. I am not going to book another ticket with you guys, since this kind of situation is waste of money and time. AGAIN I received some calls from Red-Bus Executives, First thing is they called and verified my issue and disconnected the call and doesn't even bother to call again. I made the call back and discussed my issue but they said we are not responsible for such issues. If your ticket get cancelled by the service provider not a concern of Red-Bus and could raise your refund request that will take 7 days to reflect in your account. It was around 20 min call and cost me more the 20 rupees, another decimate. I believe you guys forget that I am a customer of Red-Bus. Received a call at around 8 O'clock too, he also did the same thing and disconnected and never called. Your executives are not at all eligible enough to make calls to customers, not even their seniors(can't believe they called themselves seniors). They were not able to handle the customer nor able to give a reasonable answer. Personally I didn't like their behaviour, ethics and presence. I want my ticket to be cancelled. And refund right away. Also would like to suggest, I know Red-Bus, not your listed service provider. If any problem occurs Red-Bus should take responsibility and give customer a better services. Answering Red-Bus is not responsible for this, not responsible for that, ... BLA BLA... is not at all professional ethics.

On july 28 i have booked a ticket from vijayawada to hyderabad in green line travels using the RED BUS website. I arrived on time at the boarding point, but for my surprise bus didn't stop there after waiting for half an hour i called the operator asking about bus where about after 10 mins he called me back and said the bus left the point without stopping there. i asked him the reason for not picking me. He said that the drivers number was switched off that's they didn't pick me. This is the response given to me and he said we will process the refund in 2 days. I have waited for 3 days but he didn't respond properly. That's why i have mailed to Red BUS on July 5 stating the same and they have responded me that they have called the operator & he accepted that the mistake was on his side and stated that they have done the refund, the amount will be refunded in 7 days. After 10 days i have again mailed them but no one responded regarding the issue. So, i have called the REDBUS care seeking the reference number for amount payed by them. But for surprise they responded the next day stating that they have called the operator now & he haven't accepted that the mistake was not from his side & he said that i am not on time at the boarding point. After seeing that mail i have responded them with the previous mail & the reference number but, they are not at all responding for the mails. I have attached all the mail conversation with the RED BUS. Initially i was least bothered about the refund but after seeing the behaviour of the red bus i am asking for the refund which they have promised by them so that this will be like a lessson for them too.

Hi, I booked a tkt from Udumalaipet to Bangalore in non-ac sleeper for 19th July 2015. (PADMESH TRAVELS) The boarding time was 9.30pm and they informed us that bus broke down & it will take 30 min to provide another bus. They kept on changing the time from 9.30pm to 11pm. When I called at 11pm they were least bothered to answer my call also. They rejected my call thrice. I was stranded on the road along with my friends (4 girls) and all the shops were closed. Finally they came at 11.30pm by city ride bus and asked us to board that bus, when I asked the bus we booked was sleeper not the city ride bus, then they said rudely that you have to board this bus else leave. I CAME SEATING IN CABIN NEXT TO DRIVER FULL NIGHT AWAKE

Hello, I have booked two tickets from Ahmedabad to Pune, by Shree Vijay Travel as mentioned details. TH8G53725447 [protected] 08:45 PM Jul 19, 2015 S21(F), S22(M) Rs.2232 C.t.m cross road First time I have facing pathetic experience, approx 15km pass on expressway suddenly A/c not work and we feel hot too much suffocation, when complaint to driver for the same he was replied there is some problems in alternator it will be start/done as well as we reach at Baroda. So we all keep mum and cooperate with him up to Baroda but when we reach Baroda he again excuse it will take some time and automatic start. I really can't understand the problem, travels agency just cheat with us even we paid for A/C not get any facilities. I just want to say you look in this personally and help us to refund amount which paid for A/c. Thanks Chirag K Vaghela [protected]

Chennai-Bangalore bus was booked through Redbus on Sharma Transport for next sunday 26jul15. Twice in 2 consecutive days it happened that post payment through my netbanking, their message prompts saying "we got your money but booking didnt happen". Then their agent calls offering some other seat in someother bus for extra fare or lower grade (semi-sleeper for your earlier sleeper booking) saying fare match. Otherwise, refund in 7 days leading to Customer (our) money locked with them for their working capital & rotation. During my long conversation, CS agent (level 2) Bhuvana pointed the finger to Sharma Transport saying "Their booking system is down and hence unable to process". If this is true, shouldn't Redbus de-list! Sharma Transport to not allow their loyal customers getting cheated? I suspect this to be some drama by Redbus or their agreed working drama-model with engaged service providers to push high fare tickets or book semi-sleepers first and in the name of refunds, they enjoy Customer money for few days.

I have tried a booking from Bangalore-Sindhanur for Meenakshi Travels ( Non A/C Sleeper (2+1)) Boarding from Anand Rao Circle - 09:30 PM for 19th Jul'15 with Red bus website. And the money got debited from my bank account but I got the failure message that == Oops, we could not book seats for your onward journey. (Trip id :[protected] WHY == Due to some technical reasons we were not able to complete your booking and we have already received an amount of Rs. 600 NEXT == Don't worry we will try and call you to help complete your booking with trip id : 56401886. Please use this trip id for further communication regarding this booking. The above message is the error message I received, I have called to customer care for redbus, the advisor SONU has received the call and spoke arrogantly and there is no resolution possible apart from refunding the amount, but my initial expectation would be to book a ticket. And the call has been transfered to Manger(Keshav) and he too arrogant towards the customers. What is going ON ????
