      Booked ticket for KPN chennai trivandrum Mercedes bence sleeper from redbus.in ...bus is already running 1 hr late and they cheated us by giving a normal Volvo sleeper one without informing any of the travellers about the change... When we complained to KPN travels head office they told they can't do anything if we don't like the bus then just cancel the ticket and look for another one..which is absolutely ridiculous...the bus is an absolute ...none of the reading lights or charging points are working...also I got to know that Volvo sleeper cost is much lower than Mercedes ones...the staff has no ear's to hear our complaints..so friends be careful when you plan your trip with KPN #kpn #Redbus TIN-TH[protected] PNR-G[protected]
      Red Bus is a big cheat..I booked 11 nos. of ticket for Digha to Kolkata on 7th June, 2015 for Ex service man bus.Istead of 1 month prior confirmed booking one through Redbus only 9 seats were provided that too in two separate bus and 2 of my family members had to come standing for the whole journey.After repeated mail follow up I just used to receive auto generated mail reply or a reference number.Number of time I called their toll free customer service desk, there also they used to tell me that I will be getting a call back in 48 yrs, but that 48hrs never came.After 1.6 months I got only Rs.100 refund fro their end.On what basis out of 700 they decided to refund only 100 really don't have any clue.

      But I would like to aware everyone never ever book through Redbus to avoid such cheating.

        The Ticket was book on 30th may 2015, Trip ID: 51723076 in name of Harshal Panpaliya from Pune to Surat. The amount 285 was unnecessarily cut. Many times a complaint was dropped and every time the assurity was given that within 7 working days, the money will be refunded. Now, almost one month is gone, But only our bills are increasing to make a call to you. Please, I Kindly Request you to take the action as soon as possible, though its already too late from your side. Please do take immediate action in this concern as it only increases customer inconvenience. Thanks

                  This is for your kind information that, i had a travel from banglore to tirupati and with HP travels with ticket number (TH[protected]) the bus driver was full drunk and he slashed the vehicle so hard on the humps that the engine oil drum got cracked and the oil started to leak the bus came to halt after some time and these guys started to mend it using m seal. How stupid idea was that. The whole journey is so painful that the bus drove whole journey with that oil leak problem saying they don't have another bus to replace and one question for you guys how would u encourage these kind of travels, i know you are just a service provider but the passenger safety is your responsibility. If anything goes wrong i know you guyz need not answer anyone but just think about the families once.so i just need the partial refund for the ticket as we traveled in a non AC bus and paid for the AC bus. And i had a return ticket from tirupati on 11 may with the same travels with ticket number (TH[protected]) at 11.30 pm the bus was cancelled, this i came to know when i reached the travels and they were like they have informed you guys earlier and redbus didn't inform you.they didn't even transfer us to any other bus. we had to come back in a KSRTC bus standing just think how pathetic this is .so i need the whole refund of the ticket as i didn't travel in this bus.And i kindly request you to do the needful and plz dont encourage these type of buses.the tickets of both the travels are attached herewith for your reference. This was the mail sent to redbus and even after following them repeatedly they couldn't refund the amount stating that the operator has not cancelled the bus service, i just need to ask a query if you do believe on the operators then wat about the customers they believe in u n pay you but u don't respect their deeds???

                      I had booked from kanpur to jaipur on 1st june 2015, that was shatabdi bus service (Ticket no: TH6W26539463 PNR no: 2TG2Z2S).Because of some fault in bus it got cancelled and I managed to go to jaipur by some other bus service.I called Red bus customer care service on 2nd june regarding it and gave the number of ROYAL TRAVELS ([protected]) to confirm the cancellation of bus.One week passed no response.My service request number given to me "[protected]"I called them again and they told me that your refund of rupees 1198 will be done within 2 days.another 10 days passed I called them again they told me that there is no confirmation for the cancellation of the bus.What the bull is this. So red bus service is gud till the bus dont get cancelled, once bus gets cancel you may have to asked for refund for many times and may be they will give you in 2 to 3 month.I thnk better not to book from this bus service.Very cheap response.

                          Hi, I booked a ticket from Pune To Akola( Ticket No: TH6T[protected] with Noor Travels through redBus app. My bus was scheduled on 29 May 2015 @ 9 P.M. from Sangvi, but the bus never arrived. Finally called Noor's office & at 11p.m they confirmed that bus has been cancelled due to some technical reason. After that, I called redBus customer service 3-4 times & every time your support center replied, that they will giving me a callback in half an hour after confirming with Noor travels regarding bus cancellation, which their support never did. I even wrote a mail to their customer service, but they never replied. Finally, I have to submit a complaint to your site as redBus is simply not replying.

                            had booked a ticket no. 8 for surat from rajkot on19 June. Upon boarding the bus we were told that our seats have been sold to people offline even after we booked it through redbus. And they make me out from bus. And replies that the problem between you and redbus. And after that make me out from bus as no seat is available in this. So, what is a mistake fromnmy side. How can we believe now on such type of facilities from you. Who will pay for next bus booking And what about my money that is already debited. ...??? So, I request you and your team to raise your eye brow for such a ridiculous behaviour with your clients.

                              I had booked a ticket for 4 from manali to delhi on 2nd June. Upon boarding the bus we were told that our seats have been sold to people offline even after we booked it through redbus. For the 7 people to board the bus from that boarding point with valid reservation and seat numbers, the bus had only 4 vacant seats.Of the 7, 2 girls were shifted to a different bus after a lot of debates and the rest 5 were asked to adjust in 4 seats. Redbus customer care was informed of this and i was assured i will get my seats but nothing happened. Upon writing them a mail, i got a response that the concerned team is working on it and i will get a reply in 3 days(ie till 18 June) but till now there is no revert from redbus's side.

                                  red buses is a frod / cheater company .no any person will booked buses by red buses, otherwise you invite a problem yourself.
                                  cheater /frod company . company responsibilty is end after received the on line payment. they have no bus . they contact very poor bus service operator like BFC HOLIDAYS.

                                    I am Selva, I booked ticket on 16.06.2015 at 3.45pm unexpectedly our meeting has postponed to 19.06.2015. So I cancel my ticket and the same book on 18.06.2015 but you told that cancellation of ticket is not possible and also your fund was not refundable. The worst response from your side otherwise you are doing theft business. Ticket Transaction details - Coimbatore to Chennai at 9.30pm 2 Nos. - Rs.1302.00. Very very worst behavior from your side its not expect.

                                        I booked 3 bus tickets from KANPUR to DELHI using redbus online website www.redbus.in on 30th MAY 2015 (TICKET ENCLOSE). BUT after booking of ticket just before 2 or 3 hours of departure I called for the confirmation of the bus( time and departure) on the given number [protected] which was provided by redbus. The person who picked up the phone told me that your bus had a breakdown that is why it has been cancelled so your ticket amount will be refunded within 7 days. I didn't get my money till now. I called redbus customer care number ([protected]) after 7 days 4-5 times. They are not taking my complaint seriously. one time they gave me service request number[protected] on 9th JUNE 2015 but after that they didn't send me any e-mail or phone call or SMS. Instead of helping me redbus is saying that I took their bus. Its been more then 15 days and I've not got my refund. please help us. I'll be highly obliged to you for your this kind act. Thinking you ! JAI HIND Your's Sincerely Aman Chaudhary
