    I have booked two tickets from bangalore to Hyd for 26-1-15 on 17-1-15 in new Dhanujaya travels. vide ticke no TH2K62294437, PNR No: DJY2496-DNJ11. I have contacted on 25-1-15 new Dhanujaya travels, HYD, she said tickets have been booked on Radhakrishna Name only . But I have eticket from redbus seat numbers1&2. But she didnot responded properly. Insisted for Bangalore No, she gave, when we contacted he does not want talk, told contact hyd office. I have contacted on 25-1-15 redbus customer care saying the above story, but cc person told your tickets are confirmed and sent message also. Surprisingly, when I contacted 26-1-15 afternoon new Dhanujaya travels told bus has been cancelled, He told very recklessly you contact only redbus. When we contact redbus cc still they were telling your ticket confirmed, When I insisted they were keep telling we are going to take our higher authorities and they will call you back. there is no call back from redbus. When I contacted again at 4 pm, they told it is cancelled do your alternate. If we believe red bus and go to the bus teriminal at 8.30 pm, what is going to our situation, no body is there at marathahalli, opposite kalamandir, about these travels, I am supposed to attend office next day morning. Now you tell, what is our mental agony. I have enquired about travels, they are not reliable, why you have taken authorisation those kind of travels, otherwise take penality amount, from travels. I have spent my time and phone calls, whether you are going to pay penality or travels, we donot know You have to arrange. I donot need your sorry. I need penality amount min Rs 5000/-, because last moment every body was demanding Rs 2000/- per ticket.. I need compensation from redbus/travels Do needful Thank you, Radhakrishna, [protected]

      To meet my professional requirement have booked a ticket from Kochi to Kannur on 6th Jan 2015, the date and time is given in the ticket was 7th Jan 1 AM and asked to report @ Vytila Jn by 1 AM. I got the following as confirmation as SMS and Email -Ticket no: TH[protected], PNR no: DME50025 I have reached Vytila Jn by 00.45 AM and waited till 2 AM, later realized from other bus operators that the bus left from the boarding point before 00.45 AM. Later spoke to the customer care support staff Mr.Rahul to express my displeasure on this but surprised with his response Mr. Rahul was explaining that, according to Indian standard time the ticket is booked on 6th Jan 2015 for the travelling of 8th Jan 01 AM !!!, I am attaching the ticket hard copy where it is very well written that, departure by 01 AM on 07th Jan 2015. This is really disgusting to feel that your customer care is trying to fool the customer after putting in a life threatening situation at midnight. Secondly, i have called up the contact no given in the bus -[protected] to understand the boarding point and timing, the first response was he is not from KTC he is from skyline tours thus he doesn't know what is the exact time of the bus, however he told me that bus will not leave before 1 AM. Here the fact is the bus left before 00.45 AM. Finally, terms and conditions of redbus says, the departure time mentioned on the ticket are only tentative timings. However the bus will not leave the source before the time that is mentioned on the ticket. I feel it as a collective effort to fool the traveler partnering some bus operators to do some suspicious business So think twice before doing any ticket booking with redbus, there are other platforms gives better service and rates

          It is a great disappointment to see that red bus giving such bad services.They are concerned only about the ads and money they earned from their sites.They do not check the vendors background before registering them on their websites. As a result we(the customers) suffer though we pay extra for comfort services and our holidays are ruined.Please bring this site down as soon as possible so that it can be replaced with a better site who are more concerned with their customer's welfare rather than money and check the background of the vendors they register on their sites.REDBUS should own RESPONSIBILITY for all services(Or WARRANTY) they provide and should see the customers are provided proper refund if not satisfied with the services and file FORMAL COMPLAINT against such Vendors. My ticket Number is TH2F79245623 and TH2F[protected]S L H Tours And Travels)and this is what I faced on my journey from Bangalore to Goa and back: 1. When we reached the stop, it was said that our AC bus was replaced by Non AC. 2. The staffs were rude and asked us to not board as they knew we did not have other choice but to go with them. 3. The layout of the bus shown in red bus was not correct and though we paid extra for front semisleeper seats in Redbus we were given rear seats with no pushback, forget about semi sleeper. 4. The bus provided was a run down and pathetic bus with NO Suspension (though we booked a multi axle one) 5. When returning also we had the same bus and they did bother to change/rectify their bus, though they had 3 days to do so. 6. Most of the passengers including us were not given the refund promised as the staff members were not present at the scene of crime and REDBUS does not do online refunds.

                    The complaint is yesterday by 6 pm i was on the process of booking a ticket for V Maheswari to an up and down trip from Chennai to sattur in Yogan travels and SRM travels respectively. after selecting the two way bus the payment was made through debit card. both trip costed 1499 rupees. i had submitted. but from the message from the bank to the cell no. i come to know only 799 rupees as been debited from the account. Which is the cost of the onward journey to sattur in Yogan travel on 23rd Jan 2015. but have not received the ticket in any form. The cell number registered for booking is [protected].and after two hours of calling to rebus i got through and spoke to Ms. Saranya, who explained that there was some problem so the booking could not be done. the money would go back to the account in 7 working days. The she expressed that the problem is rectified and i can do the booking now. so i did the booking again and it was same case of yesterday that got repeated, with no booking and money debit for only on journey. i called up rebbus again they have asked me to call after twenty minutes. It is stressfull!!! I am eagerly waiting ...

                        Hi, I have booked the from Bangalore to Erode on January 02nd, 2015. By the time of booking the ticket in Angel travels the Departure time was 11.15PM on your website. After booking I have received the mail saying Departure time is 9.00Pm which is not possible to me to reach the bus. I didn't check the mail guess it will be ok and I have reached the Travel office by 11.00PM, Really it was bad experience which I never expect from RedBus Expecting you to Refund the money for this Issue shortly, before I am taking this issue to next level. Please find attached the Screenshot Image for your reference. My Name : Sarputheen Mobile no : [protected] email id : [protected]@gmail.com

                        I have used a couple of brands in saffron.I bought this saffron from Lulu Mall, Kochi for my personal use and found it to be the cheapest saffron available.It claims that its from Kashmir in the website but not mentioned the same on the product which itself sounds awful.I have used Tajmahal from spain which is better than them.Kashmir saffron is known as the costly among saffron.Mia saffron is priced @ MRP Rs.370 in Lulu and 320 for 1gm in their website which tells that they are supplying cheap saffron from Iran.Real Kashmir saffron costs much more.They have just mentioned as Mia Saffron.This itself tells the story.I am a victim of this fake product.Kindly check whether it is mentioned as pure Kashmir saffron which is hard to find among the saffron brands.Make sure that you get the real Kashmir saffron.No matter you buy it from a big mall or small shop, always make sure to get real Kashmir saffron.I am waiting for better saffron brands from Kashmir.Say no to Mia saffron mail id : [protected]@miasaffron.com . Be alert of this fake saffron

                        my payment is already done but ticket is not booked..

                        I have pay ed 850/- by payu on which there is 100/- off. my payment is done but ticket is not confirmed yet

                            I booked 2 sets of tickets for 8th december 2014. one is for morning 3am in kallada travels from ernakulam to trivandrum and another one is in a1 travels from trivandrum to calicut.@10pm And the cases My first travel was at 3am from ernakulam. I am 6ft 1inch height I can keep my legs in ordinary buses that's why I am booking volvo bus. I booked volvo bus in kallada travels. Everything went find. Morning 2 am one of them called and told me that "bus is not in condition we have arranged a traveller for you". I told them I can't travel in traveller, they told that other wise they will refund the amount ( I should tell the WTF ), but unfortunately I can't accept that because I need to reach there at 7am. They arranged traveller I travelled in that traveler. After reaching trivandrum I cancelled all my plans and just slept in hotel because I was feeling very tired. What you can do for this one? And the second one. My journey was in a1 travels. at 10pm with my wife. I reached my boarding point at correct time and bus came. I shown them my ticket, they told that those seats are already booked or your ticket got cancelled. What I can do in such situation because my wife is there with me. And also they told that if you can pay ticket amount we will give you 2 seats. I went atm and collected money. They told that contact redbus, they will refund your amount. Ticket no:TGD[protected] Ticket no:TGD[protected] I have sent mail to them on December 12th 2014, Its almost 1 month before. And got response from them that they forwarded my complaint on 20th December. After that I didn't got any response from their said

                                Not allowing partial cancellation of Bus ticket

                                Address: Pune, Maharashtra

                                I have booked a ticket on http://www.redbus.in from Goa to Pune with Paulo travels. This bus ticket website have not mentioned any where that "Partial cancellation is not allowed." I got this mentioned only in ticket emailed to me after booking ticket. I have booked ticket for 5 person in a single ticket. Now I need to cancel it for just one person, but company does not allow partial cancellation, it means I need to cancel complete ticket...

                                I booked a ticket via red bus on Friday morning i.e. on 14.11.2014 XXXX Ticket No.: TGCA39545652/PNR No.: 22675994, but somehow my plans gets cancelled on the same day of travel, I tried to cancel my ticket by calling them on their customer care no. # 39412345 by 3:00 PM its self but I’m not able to connect with them as there is some problem in the line so after wasting my 30/35 mins, I put a mail to red bus to cancelled the ticket on same day i.e. Friday 14.11.2014, 3:43 pm, so as per policy I’m supposed to get a refund amount of 25% of booking amount. I wrote 10/12 mails to customer care about the same, but they always telling the mail was send after 3:45 PM, so they can’t refund as per policy, however when I send a copy of my send mail which is reflecting clearly the send mail time is 3:43 PM. So as per Redbus policy I’m supposed get the refund amount, but they are not responding to my mails anymore. I already send 3 reminded mails for this, but still they are not responding. However it not fault if there customer care no. are not working, if it was in working status then I should had done my cancellation by 3 PM only. However it’s by mentioned by redbus that due to some technical reason some time no. don’t work. So why a customer need to suffer about it. Request to please suggest me how to take this further.

                                    My Brother booked a ticket from Pune to Ahmedabad in Eagle travels through Redbus.in. The date is 23rd Dec 2014. The ticket is confirmed and amount was deducted by Redbus. When boarding, Eagle travels denied that ticket is booked and hence was not confirmed. On what basis Redbus.in book and confirm ticket with Travel agents? On what basis they debit the money of customer ? Why they deny the refund of customer?
