Address: Indiqube Leela Galleria, 5th Floor, #No 23, Old Airport Road, HAL 2nd Stage, Kodihalli Village, Varthur Hobli, Ward No: 74, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 56

I cancelled my ticket on 12th january, 2024, and its been exactly 36 days, more than one whole month!
20 customer care conversations, endless chat conversations, i even raised a complaint in the grievance cell of indian goverenment!

my refund that needs to be credited is: 1932/-

grievance ticket raised in ingram portal- 5413808
ticket no.- TSD[protected]
passenger name- madhumitha c, 20 years old

how long should i wait for my own money man?

if i pay, and have a technical issue, redbus doesn't give me my ticket right? it needs me to pay again right? i should deal with my problem with the bank but redbus needs its money, but when it comes to refund, if there is a technical error, they wont give me my money back!? instead of paying me my money and looking into it later? what even is this double standards!!??

im just a college student, i am trying my best, what more should i do? fight a legal battle leaving my academics and time go waste?

just refund as soon as possible man!

    This is Aditya Patil, and my compliant goes like this :

    The bus (Starline) was scheduled from Mumbai to Pune at the time of 04:25 am, pickup point from Andheri east, but the bus operator responded after 2 hours that he's bus is still not crossed the Virar phata, which is far away and then I contacted the customer service of the redBus although they also gave me vague responses. I tried reaching on every platform but couldn't get the query solved which is my refund must be return because the bus didn't reach the pickup point on time got delayed for 2 hours+ and I had to take cab for it.

      I have booked two tickets via RedBus website. The payment round off is confusing and it adds extra 50 paisa charge.

                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.

After made an alternate arrangement for their negligence they are simply saying SORRY and AMOUTN REFUND will not be given. Due to REDBUS and H.P.TRAVELS negligence I LOST Rs.3447.90/-. Pls help me on this to get my amount refund
