I booked a ticket from Bangalore to Hospet on 22nd November and changed the date to 24th November even I paid the extra 200 for the bus. When i contacted the redbus about confirmation on seat and as I dintvget the ticket they informed me that your tickets is confirmed and you can travel with the same ticket but when I the passanger entered the seat some other lady was sitting.I contacted vrl they said it's her seat and at the time of departure i contacted the redbus then they informed that my ticket has been cancelled.if I dint call they would not even bother about that as a female passenger it made so insecure in Bangalore dint knew what to do next. When tried to contact redbus they are trying to escape from ending chart giving time.untill now i dint even get refund

      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]

      Reason of Complaint- Timing of 3AM select wrong

        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.

                          I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a deeply unsatisfactory experience I had on 21.10.2023 while traveling on Sri Krishna Travels hope that you will address this matter promptly and appropriately.

                          I had booked a bus ticket from Chennai Chromepet to Palani via online through Red Bus, and the seat I booked was Seat No. 7. However, upon boarding the bus, I found that my seat had been given to another passenger via offline booking without explanation. When I raised this issue with the bus operators, their response was not only dismissive but also extremely hostile.

                          To make matters worse, I was met with threats and intimidation, with the operators threatening to leave me stranded on the road at 10 pm. Their behavior was not only unprofessional but also deeply distressing.

                          Despite my repeated requests for a resolution and an alternative seat, the operators refused to accommodate me, resulting in me being placed in the last row of the bus. This seat change was not only inconvenient but also a clear violation of my booking.

                          Subsequently, I attempted to contact your bus company for a resolution to this matter, but I received no response. I also reached out to Red Bus customer service, and they also failed to provide any solution or assistance.

                          This entire experience has been extremely disappointing.

                          I kindly request that you investigate this incident thoroughly, address the unprofessional conduct of your bus operators, and ensure that proper procedures are in place to avoid such incidents in the future. Additionally, I would appreciate a refund or compensation for the inconvenience and distress caused during this journey.

                          I hope for a swift resolution to this matter and an assurance that corrective actions will be taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future.

                          Thank you for your attention to this complaint.

                          Regards,

                                Vide above PNR, I had booked a bus ticket for Udaipur to Ahmedabad for 18th October, 2023. The departure time from Udaipur was 2:15 PM. The travel Agency was Shrinath Solitaire Pvt Ltd. The agency informed at around 11 AM on the date of travel i.e 18th October, 2023 that the bus scheduled at 2:15 PM has been cancelled due to breakdown and I shall get the full refund. After followups with that agency, I am told that they had already issued the refund yesterday itself and in case I have not received the same then I must contact Red Bus through which I had done the online booking. I am unable to contact the RedBus as there is no helpline no. or chat facility available on their website. Hence, please help in getting my refund. Thanks. Hemant Mogra
