Dear Sir, We have booked our tickets as mentioned below. Delhi - Manali Monday, May 18, 2015 Ticket no: TH6E59779625 PNR no: B2XZF6H Inline image 2 But while going to Manali from Delhi we found that in our Volvo Bus of Royal Travels Air Conditioner is not working.We all bus member started suffocating.All bus paasengers have talked to driver and asked him to stop it on the road.Consequently driver called to Ower of the bus and he confirmed to us that all paasengers will get 50 % reimbursement of the ticket while reching at Manali.We reached manali without air conditioner and after reaching at Malani we asked driver that call your office representative to reimburse us that said payment.But they strait away said "No".W have not thought that Redbus's service is this kind of worst service.It was very very bad exeprience for us.After words we all passengers reached to near by police station to complaint about it and gave written complaint with signatures to PSI. I have tried to call Redbus about the matter on the same day from Mob no-[protected] and asked one of your collegue to lodge the complaint.Your collegue replied that you need to drop email to us.So afterwards i tried to call Redbus about this matter but your number was not reachable.We are attaching written complaint with signature of all passengers. We request you to reimburse our whole money for making this kind of fraud with innocent passengers of other states by saying Volvo Bus and without Air conditioner Bus given to us. Please do the needful at the earliest. Regards Rushikesh Acharya Mob:[protected] / [protected]

          Fake Customer Care service. Nobody is there as service executive. Call status shows waiting no 17 and after 17min. Call automatically disconnected no of times. I have made full payment for tickets Ahmeadnagar to Bangalore bus on 16th June. U1 & U4 seat no. I have received the payment receipt also, but ticket confirmation message not received. What is the problem. also booked 2 different tickets in same bus at same time & those are confirmed. Resolve the issue as early as possible or I want Refund.

              I booked my bus from Bangalore to Hyderabad on 1st June (Ticket No. TH6W[protected] using Redbus.com by Paying Rs.1, 990. I was travelling with my Lady Friend. My Bus was scheduled to come at 10:15pm on designated Bus Stand (Mekhri Circle). However, we waited till 1:15am on the Bus Stand and the Bus didn't come. We waited for 3 hours in the night. The 2 out 3 Phone numbers given on the Bus Ticket was not working. The only working number was not being picked consistently as were trying to reach the driver for update on the bus status. Every time we call, we said 20 mins the bus would arrive. Post 11:45pm, the number went out of reach and switched off. We waited till 1:15pm and having no success in reaching either the Driver or Redbus call centre (which is closed post 8:00pm or 9:00pm). We leave the bus stand as it was getting extremely unsafe to wait there. We reach home and try the bus driver couple of times and reach him at around 1:30am. The bus driver or conductor, tells us that the bus is cancelled and asked for my seat number. I gave him my seat number. He said the money will be refunded to me by redbus. I wrote to redbus the next day for the refund. Shockingly, Redbus wrote in a email that, I wasn't present at the bus station when the bus arrived. Apparently, the late Bus arrived at 1:30am. Hence, I will not be refunded the money. This is the case of complete cheating as the Bus didn't inform us and we were unable to reach and communicate with them.

                I had a worst experience yesterday, unable to travel even i book the ticket before itself. The person whom i contacted many times (Received contact via SMS) for urapakkam (Pick up location) pick up did not responsive, not answering properly and disconnecting call before talk, did not inform me correct location for pick up, i was waiting at Urapakkam school stop but bus crossed me without picking me, he called me and asked why i was not near at Urapakkam tea kadai bus stop. I was called him 4 times before bus arrival but he never told me anything about this, i was begging him to wait for just 2 mins (Can reach that place in 2 mins by auto, just 500 Meters) but he was not listening and disconnected the call by telling they are starting... This is disgusting, ..Feeling robbed, ... Missed an important marriage function at Coimbatore, my family is there, i have to pick them up, ... everything lost because of this irresponsible person (Who talked to me over phone @ [protected])... This is not acceptable, i would suggest everyone about this and not to book the ticket online... Please take an necessary action for not having bad experience like me for others... Also i would request you to refund my paid amount asap...

The Transaction has been failed and the amount has been detected from My card...Once i call for Redbus they said the amount has bee refunded. But when i call for my bak they says the there is no such refund transaction for your account, on other time when i call for Redbus they are saying a different reason. It is shame on Redbus to bluff like this...Poor respose...

                      Sir I am a loyal customer of Redbus. I have recommended you to many of my friends too. It's my first time to complain such issues and irregularities experienced in travel from Kolhapur to Nashik, by reputed SRS travels vide Ticket No. TH6R97989463 on May 27. I was surprised to note the fare difference at the counter and what I had to actually pay on line. Red Bus has never done this before. In addition, after paying double the normal fare by other volvo buses, the scheduled bus was arrived at 12.30pm midnight, and there was no place for waiting etc. Kindly check the irregularities and revert the difference of amount to the account. Thank you in anticipation albert sunil [protected]

                            Hello Consumer complaints team, Tracking number[protected] I Booked for the below trip for chennai to sivakasi in JeyaMurugan Travels Seat No 29, 30 At 10.30PM From Alandur Post Office, Chennai (Ticket no: TH6T23853298 PNR no: EBKJURZ). We boarded the bus 11 PM at above mentioned address and around 02:45 AM Where the bus at villupuram on national highway, and bus met accident by smashing the divider at the center median and bus-engine was leaking diesel from engine around road, along with this windsheild also broke and we all passengers got drop-down suddenly as we saw the bus accident was worst case that the engine at front hangs with a central median aluminium pipe length with 50 meters which stopped the other side buses too. We (Wife and two children), then checked with dirver about the next journey how to carry on, he was unable to provide any information and concluded bus wont move at all, and you have to make your own journey, then i tried to reach redbus customer care it seems it operative only at 7-11pm for the day, as we didnt get any help and no other choice, we then made our own paid journey to the destination by that midnight from that place. So i request to make necessary refund process get initiated so that i get the refund of the money. I already reported the issue to redbus customer support executive at 09:15 AM at 29 MAR 2015 by calling[protected], and they asked me to send a mail to report about the accident and and for the untraveled ticket refund process to get started. and today 31 mar 2015 i spoke to shamime regarding the update for refund process and no updates or no information has been recorded which i spoken to redbus customer care representative on 29 Mar 2015 which is unfair, and shamime added the tracking number as[protected]. Please help so that i get my money back, for the untraveled journey. Thanks and Regards Esakki Selvam.

                              I was alloted two seats of one of the buses of Jagannath Travels which was about to depart from Silchar to Guwahati on April 30, 2015 at 5:45 pm. But all the buses were cancelled due to sudden declared strike. I was assured that the money will be transferred automatically in my account. But, it has not been refunded from your side till now. Several calls have been made from my side to your customer care service number but no one received the call. I also enquired the matter in Jagannath Travels' office but they said it is your company's responsibility to refund me and also assured that I shall receive the money very soon. Please look into the matter as soon as possible

                                Dear Sir, This is regarding the REDBUS travel policy i am writing it. This is very strange & disappointing that the policy seems to be ill-logic I was booking a ticket on 19th June and i don't know when i checked ticket print i see its 1st June and it was already booked a ticket today @ around 12 in the non the same day of travel and few minutes later i just wanted to cancel the ticket but your policy says it should be cancelled on 31st of MAY. logically speaking when i have booked the ticket today how will i cancel on previous day. I just want to raise a complaint regarding this how can i cancel today's booking the previous day. Kindly take this into serious consideration and hope for action. Regards, Vijay Naik.
                                Look at the Policy & the booking date & cancellation date.

                                  I booked my ticket through redbus.com from coimbatore to chennai. Actually the bus departure time was given as 10.59 and i reached the bus station around 10.15 from te till 11.30 i searched bus all along but i was not able to find. when i enquired about the bus in saheel travel agency they revert me by saying the bus actual time is on 10.15 and the bus has left. and i had to repay for another bus and got going. we are paying our cash through you because we feel redbus.com is one of the best customer friendly site. but is this the way you actually do the service. The worst ever experience. i shld get my cash back 1000 which i hav paid to book the bus. The trust worthy to red bus has been broken up with this kind of service.

                                      i have booked ticket from Tanuku to Hyderabad, the bus is supposed to arrive at 10:30PM and at 10:40 PM gave an SMS bus got cancelled. I have tried to call redbus, from 10:40PM to 11:00 PM my call was kept waiting and at 11:00PM call hung up. When i tried to call back IVR was telling their office hours are over which is from 07:30 to 11:00PM.., by the time a writing this message its 07:51AM its saying to call after 07:30 AM. Also this is not the first time. The worst and stupid service. at 08:10AM they answered the call and told me they have raised the issue, when i ask for acknowledgement, they say they dont have any acknowledgement saying it was an issue not complaint.

                                        Hi, I booked a bus for 28th from hyderabad to mumbai. I had to attend a very important function the next day. I booked with Sahara travels with ticket # TH6T95723594. 1 hour before the journey i get a message saying that "today ur service hyderabad to mumbai cancelled technical problem, please contact ur ticket operator and his phn # [protected]". I called him he gave me another # to call and this # know one answered the call. Going for me was imp so i booked another bus instantly with SVR tours and travels with ticket # TH6T63589238.I went to the boarding point 10 mins early and waited there for more than an hour. No bus came the # which was provided with the tickets to call and check for the location both were switched off. Red bus call center hold for 15 mins and still could not get through a customer care. At last i could not make the journey and i am not sure if i would get a refund as not a single person called me and told about what is going on and like a fool i am waiting at the boarding point till night 12 waiting for the bus. Please do something about it because this can lead to big problems and issues in future. And this type of service is not required in this well advanced world. I would like to file a complain i have all the proof with me the ticket and stuff. Please help
