      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 ????

            I booked a ticket from Delhi to Allahabad for tonight 10 pm through RedBus. I got the ticket of KK tour & travels. Initially they were very unhelpful and careless in giving me boarding details, and when I reached there, the guy said that the bus is cancelled and my only option is to board a bus going to Kanpur and then figure out my route there onwards. I was shocked at his callous response. When I asked him why didn't he inform this to me earlier he started behaving very rudely. I had a bus at 10 pm and here I was standing at Anand Vihar till 11:30 pm as the guy was still confused. Upon any query he was just treating me very arrogantly as if I had caused some harm to him. Today I am very saddened at the indecency and rashness of this guy but even more so about the sheer unreliable and terrible experience of Redbus. I am ready to go to any length to teach these guys a lesson. Ticket Date: 17 July 2015 Ticket Fare: Rs 1200 Ticket No.: TH8D24689572 PNR No.: D62TXNY

                  Hello All, Am saravana Guru ([protected]) from Chennai. Have booked the 2 travel tickets in Chozha travels through Redbus for below itinerary. No of Tickets : 2, From : Chennai. To : Eral. Travel Date : 14th July. Ticket booked date: 11th July. Amount Paid : 1500INR. Travels : Chozha Travels (Sleeper Class, 09:15 PM). Have planned this travel for very critical personal need and my booking has confirmed on 11th July. All of sudden, have received a message on mobile at around 4:26 AM on 13th July and informing the cancelled service. Have reached respective contacts through mobile and asked for alternative travels but they responded very harsh way and treated us very bad manner. Apart from the money spent, There is no consideration of alternate booking after so many calls from my side and am frustrated with their response. I need respective management should acknowledge this in proper way as have been insulted with their response.
                  Red bus customer care and support is utter waste and the people are irresponsible. They never get back to us after assuring that we will be receiving response. I have and incident recently and would like to raise it to the higher management of this waste service site.Can anyone let me know how to do so, as I dont see any response for the above complaint, just wondering this complaint forum actually works.

                    Hi, I have booked tickets in red bus 2 days prior for 25th june travelling. for some personal reason had to cancel the tickets, so did called up hebron transports for which I booked and requested to cancel the tickets both by phone call as well as dropping a electronic mail to the cancellation team of hebron on 24th june. neither parties turned up to refund and simply asking me to contact the each other parties. I dropped an email to redbus with the screenshots of the mail I sent to hebron for cancelling the tickets on 24th june. I again called up support team of red bus on 7th and 10th to inquire the status, there was no proper response and asking me to contact hebron only, whereas hebron team refused to refund saying that they do not have the bank details, neither they confirm it to redbus that I have not travelled. so pathetic it is thinking the 2 parties customer support and this way they loot money from people. my PNR no is : HT298064 REd bus customer complaint number is:[protected] Ticket number is: TH7N36539275. I atleast called the support team of both red bus and hebron once everyday and the call lasted for more than 45 mins everytime, still nothing is resolved. Contact number: [protected] for cancelling and following up with the same number from hebron [protected] this is red bus customer support number. I have all the e-mails with me that I have been communicating with red bus as well as hebron.

                          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.

                                      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???
