    Disappointed with bus delayed.
    Bus number. Ka25d4786
    Date.14/03/2019.
    Two things,
    (1) don't know why the traveling bus entered vrl stockyard. And wasted half an our time.
    (2) driver drives the bus in neutral technically which is not safe.
    Not at all happy with the journey
    Don't know what action vrl will take.
    Again am planning to travel on saturday by vrl,
    I hope this will not repeat.

      My name is manojkumar, travelled with my mom n dad seat number 15, 34, 35... My journey bus no. Is ka25d1395 boarding from : morampudi jn, nr. Simhadri steels at :[protected]:00:00, (The bus is supposed to come at 6.30 but got delayed by 90 mins since he hit car and got late)..
      Reasons for compliant :
      1) bus driver is too rash in driving and he carry the rashness with travellers too
      2) he doesn't stop any where for urinals from mng 5 to 11 (Bus got late bcz he has been late with the car accident sean.. Travellers told his mistake is there in car accident also)
      3) i just asked him from indiranagar bangalore to anandrao circle in bangalore which way he takes so that near by to my location i can get down.. For that he shouted and yelled at me saying i should got down there itself and go.. He was abusing like anything... Even i ask him what is the matter of annoying.. Such a waste drivers at the cost of travellers life u r recruiting... I won't take vrl again unless i'm assured that nice n cool controlled drivers are placed...
      Worst service I never faced from VRL and depot in charge the way of behavior is not good. Kindly take serious action on this. This may impacts other customer also.

        This complaint is about vrl and service.

        Nowadays it has become a very casual practice that no buses run on time. Be it from anywhere to anywhere.

        It's a very common delay time of minimum 30 minutes to 2-3 hrs.

        We book buses relying on their timings that they mention in many of the online third party applications and as well as on their own website and plan our next schedules and days but they have never arrived nor dropped on time. This is causing 1) we're losing our hard earned money 2) losing our trust in people/office that we promise them believing vrl timings

        Vrl is losing it's goodwill in the market for sure. I can bet on this because, i have heard from many of my friends, colleagues and relatives that they have completely stopped relying on vrl service and specifically with the timing and they have started using other transport services
        Hi,
        Please arrange a call back asap.
        My no is [protected].

          Dear team

          The bus driver and other facility, committed timing of boarding is perfect due to which i am regular travel through vrl travels

          But the one thing i want to address you that the person whom you appointed at sangmawadi pune parking area office is very arrogant and miss behave with passengers. This is 4th time we observe him and the same attitude he have while communicating with the passenger, if anybody call him for the address confirmation he don’t give proper answer talk arrogantly, if any passenger ask for the bus status he use to reply that everything is mention in sms then also you are asking, if you people think that your online services is so full proof then please close the office there is no need and if you open the office at sangamwadi to assets passenger then educate the person who seat there should be polite and humble with the passenger
          Also request to put the fan facility at sangamwadi parking centre because when passenger wait for the bus there are so many mosquitoes and now it summer season cant seat without fan, from last 3-4 months fan is not working at sangamwadi parking office so request you to do the need full.

            I am traveling from mumbai to blore. Just an hour of journey left and the bus stopped at vrl refreshment. There are so many toilets but most of them closed. Only one wester toilet and that's in worst condition. Went and spoke to staff he was cofidebt that's it's clean inspite of telling him. Went and took pictures and showed him. He still could not help. The only option given to a women passenger was to use a gents wester toilet. Used it as few gents passenger helped in asking all men to leave. I have been a regular customer of vrl and this issue has always been there. However today has been worst. Sad that vrl could not give the basic needs for a women. Attached are the photos

            Bus is not moving since last 2hrs as there is some mistake in bus, need to reach destination, VRL people not sending any alternative help or Bus, very pathetic service...
            Hi Iam travelling from Gulbarga to Bengaluru in bus number KA25C7829 on date 30th April and arriving date on may 1. Many of the women mqy have periods during journey and washroom is much needed but the driver was so rude that he didn't stop for 6 hours from the time of request. Even if there were many washrooms on the road he didn't stop and used to stop by highway for doing it on road, 1st of all that pollutes the environment and 2nd thing is it is absolutely unsafe for women to go on highways.
            Very pathetic service by VRL.
            Hope by this complaint it will improve.

                I was having booking from borivali today i e. On 10/02/2019. Bus has left just behind my eyes. I was asking that person on call that bus is in front of me, but he was like bus will not stop here, it will directly stop at sion. Few days back same bus was 40 mins late and i was waiting from almost 1 hour, i haven't uttered a word to conductor but today i was just requesting him to wait for max 5 minutes and he was not ready and he talked so harshly and badly, was not expected from vrl... Vrl was my 1st preference, but it was... Will never recommend vrl to anyone... Sorry... Due to this type of staff vrl may face a huge loss or passenger scarcity.

                I want my refund

                            We a family of four members were traveling from panaji to bangalore. The bus no. Py1452. My husband got down to buy a bottle of water. The driver started the bus and wouldn't stop for him to get into the bus.in spite of many requests and begging the driver to stop, he stopped only after 40 kms. My husband had to take taxi to reach us. It's was very horrifying and scary experience to travel by vrl.

                                Journey timings not proper for nasik to nagpur by vrl on 23/12/2018 specified that it will reach at 8 am on 24/12/2018 but reaches at 10.15am...Whereas from nagpur to pune journey on 24/12/2018 the vrl travels staff behaviour is pathetic..They don't have manners..one more issue is regarding Side safety vertical bars is not there and blanket is very thin..After paying a lot still i didn't get good service.thats unfair
                                Booking Number [protected] from Bengaluru to Vasai ( Mumbai ) and where is the material? why it has gone to Phalghar? how many days you want to deliver the goods? is there any right personnel is there in your VRL Group? what business you are doing?
                                Despite being express highway the bus driver took for about 11+ hours to reach Belgaum from Bangalore. Too many unnecessary stops for a long time. Expected arrival time was 7.30 and the bus reached at 9.40.
