They list bus in Redbus. Fill seats, if they feel like not enough bookings they cancel.
Ironically the said to be same breakdown bus will ply in another route.
This is an organised fraud on commuters.
If we cancel they put a penalty of 50% or sometimes even 100% but after 7 days they just refund the fare.
Most times tickets aren't available even if so, it will 2x.
People already are giving them 1 & 2 rating. Not sufficient every one should take them to consumer court like I did.
Redbus knows this fraud but is not taking any action.
STOP USING UNIVERSAL & REDBUS.

          Hi sir I booked a ticket by redbus for today from Karaikal to Bengaluru in universal travels booked for lower sleeper class and charged 2100 rupees with GST. After booking from the travels called me and said my booked bus is cancelled and they put me in an other bus. There is no sleeping seat at lower. All is semi sleeper seats. I get annoyed by this travel. I am 65 years old senior citizen women.
          You must be return the excess money I paid. Because I paid for sleeper and they given only seater. Redbus must take action on this issue.

            Bus was very late in boarding point and no proper response from team. Staffs are very rude. Heavy rain and buss is leaking. No higher authorities are picking the call. One of the worst bus service providers. Im now in the bus and they are not even stopping for lu or for tea . Time now is 8 am . Got in to the bus at 12 pm. Kids and ladies are suffering in this bus. Bus no : PY02S5527.

                        Address: universal travels ds max susheela scion, 219, 9th block, punappa layout, banglore , karnataka, 560043

                        I had intiated a flight booking from Bangalore to Houston and return through Universal Travels on 25th Mar through the reservation person Kapil Gupta. He asked me to send him Rs70000 in advance and rest on 27th March so he could block the tickets and do the booking on 27th. As per mr kapil the booking would be done through Cleartrip and i was supposed to be getting the tickets on 27th. I paid 700000 through upi to upi id mentioned by Mr Kapil on 25th and then a further Rs 43707 on 27th Mar. After making the full payment Mr kapil started giving excuses about some emergency and not providing the tickets. he switched off his phone. After trying get in contact with him i was eventually able to get in touch with him the next day but he never provided any tickets and kept saying he will do so. I have asked him and Universal Travels for the refund as they never even made any booking but have kept my money with them. Please help me in getting the due refund amount.

                                  I hv booked ticket from Chennai to Mayiladuthurai with drop point as Kollumangudi. But I was changed to Happy Travels in Chidambaram saying that they going thro Sirkazhi as it is not the route. Then why the ticket is booked with Universal Travels.
                                  I need justification for this. It made me hectic as I hv to catch one more bus or mofussil bus or a cab to my destination from Mayikadurai as the Happy travels will go up to that place only.

                                    We booked an ticket from Chennai to Nagapattinam Ticket Number: TR7U76015043 Seat no : 19 & B10 in Universal Travels we booked 1 sleeper class seat and a sitting coach and unfortunately the bus we booked got cancelled at the last minute and the travels company has arranged some other bus and we were rescheduled from our booked time with 2 different class seats than booked seats we ended up with no sleeper coach seats in the bus and we been in seating coach the whole travel its not worth the money which I have paid for its very unfair and I am totally disappointed with this poor service and this is not the seating arrangement
                                    i have paid it’s not worth it these tickets are damn cheap i needed sleeper coach thats why i have paid around 1, 200
                                    i expect an full refund for these tickets very disappointed and the bus travel started very late its almost 12.30 am the starting time we booked an ticket the travel time starting at 10.30 pm around 2 hrs we have been waiting for this trip to get started totally time and money waste for us and we may ended up reaching our destination very late and we may lose our deals up there
