[Resolved]  Redbus — redbus ticket holders not allowed to board msrtc bus

We had booked tickets via redbus to travel from shirdi to pune. Here are the details:
Trip number: nskm0010197
Ticket number: 40502719
Shirdi to pune on jan 18, 2020.
6 passengers.
Bus service type: parivartan day ordinary
Boarding time: 9:40 am
None was allowed to board the bus.
We had to take a cab from shirdi to pune paying around rs.3, 000. Please investigate why msrtc did not recognize redbus tickets and issue us a complete refund. No support emails were provided by redbus and i couldn't write to them directly. The phone number listed keeps giving options endlessly and does not allow us to speak to an operator. Kindly resolve.

The response from RedBus may sound like a kind, gentle one, but indeed is a rude one. I live in Chennai and they are asking me to collect the refund from Maharashtra by visiting MSRTC counter directly. I do not have any travel plans in the near future, and none to Maharastra as far as I can see. The money was debited by RedBus electronically from my bank. It is only fair that it be credited back online into my account. I did an 'Escalation' and the Management came back with similar replies that didn't help me in any way.
