redBus Ticket - TH5X99489542 It was pathetic experience to book online bus ticket through RED BUS I had booked online line bus ticket through a red bus in Falcon travels Eagle Travel Agency. Ticket booking was of 3rd May at 11 pm from anand (Gujarat) to mumbai. Ticket details were sent to me on my mail ID and i also have the messege confirmation about the same. When I went to board a bus from anand on 3rd may at 10.45 pm, I got to know that there is no booking in my name with Falcon travels Eagle Travel Agency. They told me that the booking with my name was on 2nd May and they showed me their records also. I have print out of the same. I tried calling Red bus imeediately but there was no revert and the number was just ringging. At the moment at 11 pm, just understand that what would be my situation as I was alone travelling. I had trust on red bus but it was completely smashed. I was scared, annoyed, irritated, frustrated, tired and helpless too as there were no seats available in any of the buses at that time. All the buses were full. I was metaly disturbed completely and could not find and way. At 11 pm I was struggling alone on highway for my seat. What a pathetic service and cheating by REDBUS. Finally, I had to travel by sitting seat and that too I have paid 2800 for it and that was also driver's seat. Only because I had to attend office next day. Flight tickets we 6-7 thousand which was very costly. Entire night I could not sleep. Mental stress was at high level. I have written the complain to red bus but still there is not revert.

    Dear Sir, I booked a ticket from Palani to Chennai for 10/05/2015 on 05/May/2015 via redbus.in and paid through net banking via PayuMoney. Although money has been debited from my account it seems PayuMoney has not credited it to redbus.in and they have not sent me the ticket. Redbus says transaction has failed and hence the ticket was not confirmed. Transaction details are as under:- INB/[protected]/PAYU.IN/ - Rs. 1700/- So you are requested to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Thanks & regards, Anu Priya [protected]

        RedbusTicket no: TH4Z63845955The seat was not at all good, I was not able to keep the seat in vertical position as it going back automatically when I lean on the seat. More over I have booked a window seat (seat no:21) and when I entered the bus seat 21 was not a window seat. Really a bad experience in travelling in that bus. I have the screen shot for the same seat showing window seat while booking.

          I booked a ticket from Shirdi to Pune for 3rd May 2015, Sunday. TIN : TH5Y36332738 PNR : GYNSMJN Travels: Tirupati(Jagdamba) travels, Shirdi. My bus was scheduled at 10:30am. I reached my spot at 10:00 am and was there till 11:30am. No bus arrived. I tried contacting travels number provided by red bus ie [protected], which was switched off. Red bus customer care were not responding despite calling multiple times. I even tried to search out for an alternate number of Tirupati Travel via JustDail, But there was no such travel listed in Shirdi. Dear Concerned, Kindly get into this as soon as possible and try to help me out with this. My hard earned money has gone waste by such negligence. Waiting for a favourable reply. Thanking You.

            Had booked a bus to Vadodara on 17th April (TH5G[protected] and 5 hrs before journey I received a call from them stating that the bus is cancelled and I need to call back and book alternate bus or cancel the ticket. Called more than 30 times on customer care number but no one could be contacted. I tried on all numbers on my ticket too couple of times but all numbers were un-available. Wrote an email to customer care before departure time to imitate the same. Noone replied for days after that. I am following up for refund post that but they are not giving me the same saying that I did not reach on time and bus was not cancelled whereas I have an email sent to them b4 departure to prove that I had received an intimation from them about cancellation. All thanks to this irresponsible service... I missed my journey. This is my second such bad experience with Red Bus.

                      Hi, I booked the ticked online through redbus for new raja travels and they mentioned the departure time at 6:30pm on 27th april and the arrival time to 5:30am on 28th April 2015 as my office was scheduled at 6:00am I preferred to book that ticket confirming two times with redbus customer care thta the bus may not delayed. when I reached to the power house which is the point for new raja travels which didnt came but they asked me to sit in rajlaxmi travels stating the company is same. The bus was not in good condition at all. and took 15 hours to reach pune. The behaviour was not good. It was very disappointing and pathetic journey wherein i missed my meeting, my office and unnecessary i had to be on unplanned holiday. It was pathetic experience i had to face because fo redbus fase information and the pathetic traveller rajlaxmi which was fraud it should be new raja travels.Please refund my money as this was the worst experience I had faced with redbus and travels.

                          I booked a round trip on 17th April from hyd to blore and blore to hyd. Hyd to blore was successful but blore to hyd was failed and debited an amount of 2100 rs. I got a message form redbus saying that the amount will be credited within 7 days but it hasn't. Also dropped couple of emails to redbus at [protected]@redbus.in but nobody seems to reply back on that. This is abo[censored]ely ridiculous.I really dont know how do they provide customer service. Called on toll free number which doesnt work. Also called up customer helpline number for 2 days which is always in wait mode. Atleast they should be responsive and reply back. Nobody from redbus ever got back to me, its me who has to call 1000 times. Very very disappointing service.

                                  Hello Team, I tried making a tranx. on 19th of April when I was travelling to Bangalore from Shirdi. I had to book my tickets from Pune to Bangalore 11.30 PM Sharma travels as I was to reach Pune from Shirdi around 10.30 PM. Unfortunately due to some tech issues from your end when I tried making payment for 2 tickets the amount was debited but no ticket was booked, i tried yet again and to my dismay amount was debited again and no ticket was confirmed. With Little hard cash in hand I reached the travel agent directly to book the same seats U23 and U24 in Sharma Sleeper 11.30 Pm dept. unfortunately all the tickets were booked for the same and the buses leaving after that. The really inconvenience was I was with my wife and with no money in card unable to book online because of you guys and with no buses either I waited on the highway of Pune Bangalore until 02.30 AM of Sunday to get a bus to Hubli and reached Bangalore on Sunday 08.00 PM. There is alot of inconvenience I had to go through with my wife because of you guys failure and inefficiency to confirm my tickets even after debiting Rs.5000/-. I would liked to be compensated for the same as now the bank is also charging Interest on the amount debited and I demand Rs.2000/- to be given to me to book tickets for my further trips or 4 tickets for any location that i would require(Please be informed I am not demanding hard cash and demanding compensation for interest charged by credit card on amount debited by you guys and for the inconvenience caused.) I know the amount has been reversed but no reason you guys said it will take 7 days. Any negative response I will forced to put this same message on Social media and forward the same to consumer forum. Probably then you guys might have to shell out more than what I requested and then it would be definately hard cash and free tickets.

                                      While trying to book for a bus ticket through redbus.com for a journey from Cochin to Chennai, I had to loose Rs.2650/- in two instances of booking. And the customer care number in also non responsive after repeated calls to the provided number [protected]. Case 1. Booking in Sona Travels on 18/04/2015 at around 1 PM using redbus.com app and the sum of Rs.1250/- was deduted with a message showing "due to technical reasons money has been deducted but ticket could not be booked". Case 2. After getting a confirmed ticket for booking in AVS travels for the booking done on 19/04/2015 at around 10 AM, I was informed with a message that the ticket is cancelled for unavoidable reasons.In this instance Rs.1400/- was deducted. For Case 1 only money transfer details are available. For Case 2 both image of ticket and money transfer details are uploaded here with the complaint

                                      Complaint marked as Resolved

                                        Dear friend,

                                        I was also cheat the same way and I feel this site is also FAKE as plenty o[censored]sers of same complaints and no reply from anybody.
                                        We all should take a collective effort and then only this will be resolved. Shouting in this website is of no use.
