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

            Meenakshi travels bus with scheduled departure on 28th may 2015 9:30 pm From ginger hotel pine never arrived. Understood From operator that this bus is not running since last three days yet red bus never had info about this. I received a message from redbus three hours before journey start that the bus will run as per schedule. Had to bear a cost of 5000 due to their mistake. Red bus was not even ready to arrange for a ticket on the next day. They made false promises when contacted over call center but kept changing the stance every time. Later they are telling that money will be reimbursed in next 7 days rather than arranging for alternative. All operator phone no's provided were not working

              I am Sasidharan C K, 59 years old a central government employ . I was traveled from Valancheri to Trivandrum on 13th May 2015. Travel was just ok. But behaviour and responsibility of galaxy bus staff was very very bad. 'Galaxy' was my bus and My boarding time was at 11-05 pm. I was waiting at Valancery bypass Jn. as per their mobile message guideline details, and there was horrible rain. At last I found my bus(I assume that should be). It was a Blue 'Galaxy' bus They stopped there and i shown my booking details. "They were not agree with that booking details and told me this is not the bus you are booked and your bus will come next to this". But i was waiting along for my bus. I was absolutely worried about journey. Because one of the white 'Galaxy' bus was already passed valanchery just before and also I asked them. their replay was also same . So I decided to wait for another bus. The time was around 12 mid night and nobody was on the road and the rain was aloso getting heavy. Mean time I got a call. It was from one of the bus staffs and he told me "bus already passed valachery by pass and stopped some were else. So have to reach there immediately. Fortunately I got an auto with the help of a shop keeper at valancery bypass Jn. And I reached their newly informed destination, were they waiting for me. I was really angry, when i see the bus.It was same blue 'galaxy' bus was waiting for me. I feel, they ridiculed me. I really got BP. But they were not ready to s even a simple sorry for their mistake. Next day Morning I went hospital for body check up. I lost time, money and health though the journey booked by Red Bus.in. I am expecting to get a from the Indian consumer forum for the bad experience from red bus.in and galaxy travels for their lack of planning. Regards sasidharan CK +91 [protected] +91 [protected]
              I felt very bad !!! with Galaxy bus

              I want to draw you kind attention towards the rude and irresponsible behaviour of both the driver and the bus conductors with the commuters. They look towards the passengers with indifference and behave with them in a very unfriendly and absurd way. They lack etiquettes and use filthy language.

              It is my humble suggestion to the bus owner that before their recruitment, the drivers and the conductors must be taught how to deal with the passengers.

                    I have booked a ticket from trichur to chennai for 30th May 2015. Then I called the customer care and cancelled the ticket(non ac) and booked a ticket for the same day. While booking, I asked them I can use the amount and book the ticket online. But, they asked me to go for Cash on delivery option for the rest of amount. The next day, I received a call from delivery center saying that they wont deliver. If you need it, then you need to come to T-Nagar and collect. I literally confused on the attitude. And he threatened me if you can not collect in a day time, he will cancel the ticket. Is this the way Red bus treating a customer? If they would have told me the same, I would have booked the tickets online. Now, they are not responding. Is this the way they earning money? Ridiculous treatment !!! Hope someone from red bus would see and intervene.

                          Booked a ticket to Chennai from Coimbatore to travel on the same day(May 20th 2015) and cancelled it on the same day. But no refund is being made and they say it is against policy to cancel the ticket on last day as per operator but operator says redbus is fully responsible for refund. Complaint raised to redbus (#RB[protected] but no response after I escalated the issue. They do not pick my call even after 30 mins I stay on call for them to pick up. Help to get refund on this.
                          Everything is already available if you review the mentioned complaint number#RB[protected].

                          Anu from redbus said I'll get the problem addressed and resolved yesterday. Nothing happened yet. No email no calls no refund no resolution.

                          Poor poor poor customer support.
