I have booked Redbus on Nov 9th from Chennai To Virudhunagar and it was cancelled by Redbus due to Bus breakdown. Ticket no. TSC[protected]. I received refund successful message on Nov 16th and never received my payment in my original payment method GPAY. Screen shorts attached. This is not first time Redbus does this. I see many people facing this issue.

        I booked a ticket to travel Kanchipuram from Silk board, Bangalore.
        Departure date and time :[protected]:05AM

        But bus didn't come till 09:30 AM, So I called operator mobile number [protected]. I got reply, saying bus is 1hr delay.
        I haven't received any notification for the same, So I asked him, why it wasn't communicated prior.
        Operator told, If you want to travel wait 1hr else you can go back to home.

        Then I contacted Redbus, the customer care executive denied refund and told me same like operator.

        Till 10:40 AM the bus was not arrived, So my wife, kids and I left the place.

        So I was forced to go back to home. I need refund, please someone help me.

                    Dear Sir,

                    If a ticket is booked in urgency wrong then no option of cancellation of ticket just after booking confirmation. In our opinion fresh ticket bookings should be given a chance of reversing or cancelling ticket for 5-10 minutes if it is booked wrongly.

                    Due to which Company gets full money and our seat goes empty which is a huge loss of money for us if we don't have money to book the correct bus ticket.

                    Our situtation is very annoyed at that time due to no option of recovery of money.

                    Please check for option resolving of my ticket which was wrongly booked when my phone was over processed & everything was hanged & no option to stop all process done wrongly.

                    Ticket no.-TSD[protected]

                      Address: Chennai

                      Had a worst Experience travelling from Chennai to Coonoor as the bus TN05CC1955 was old with no good maintenance it seemed. Self starter did not work so passengers had to push the bus to start, front windshield was with cracks. This bus ticket that was costly not a value for money or the Bus was Not worthy for money. The MD of the bus said, "sorry" on my call on 6th December 2023, which would not pain him much as already he got the money and no loss to him because of the poor conditioned bus. Passengers are taken for granted to earn their profits. The money what he earned from the bus was at the cost of passengers. If he is reasonable, some compensation should be given to those who lost their time and missed their appointments like me which costed a lot to them.

                      The Bus got 1st breakdown around 2 am and ran without AC suffecating until Ulunthurpet, it was said that dynona did not work and waited for about three hours outside bus at night. After 2 hours we were told that a spare bus has been arranged (not true it seemed but to make to make the passengers calmer. The MD said, it was a mistake or wrong information by YBM's customers support center) so the driver asked the passengers to get down. After getting down no spare bus came so our bus TN05CC1955 was repaired and we traveled by the same poorly maintained bus. After 2 hours of running the bus from Ulunthurpet after replacing the dynamo, the bus was stopped because one of the back tires bursted - 2nd breakdown. The tire was a retread tire. When I spoke to the MD of YBM he mentioned that the tire was due for change and he was responsible for not changing when reported but he blamed the driver saying that he did not drive carefully. Thus again we were delayed because of replacement of tire. So in total the bus was late by around 4 plus hours to reach Coonoor. I was told by another passenger that the bus was used by her family recently and it broke down so the passengers were sent by other bus. Thus YBM uses a bus which is not in good condition though it has run on hills which is a high risk to the passengers. High cost ticket, No proper communication to the customers and poor maintenance and rude response by one of the drivers are some of the problems faced in the bus TN05CC1955 on 4 Dec 2023. Important meeting has been missed. No compensation financially.

                      Traveled from Chennai to Coonoor on 4th December 2023 in bus TN05CC1955 -YBM Travels ticket cost was Rs.1890. This was not a normal price too

                        Team,
                        Ticket no - TSCH87136825

                        I would like to complain on my fellow passenger who disturbed my sleep the whole day by getting into my sleeper seat with her and her kid. She almost occupied half of my seat. I couldnt sleep for whole night. There were times when i woke her up to move to her seat. Still she dint bother to move. I complained this to the bus driver. When i did she instead reverse complained on me that i woke her up 2 times during the night and she couldnt sleep with her son who looks like above 6 or 7 years. This is ridiculous. How can 2 people sleep in one seat and make it uncomfortable for the other person to sleep by occupying my seat also instead. I managed to click few pictures at different times. The yellow mark is my seat line. I expect you to please do something in this case. If you say this is the policy of red bus then i cannot use red bus in future. Thank you very much. I expect you to do something.
