VRL Travels Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I had boarded a vrl bus from kumta to travel to bangalore on 28th feb 2018.
Reg details for bus : py 01 ch 1451.

The bus sent by the vrl staff is a very faulty one and has stopped for every hour on the way to bangalore. This has led to delay for us travellers in order to reach bangalore and join our respective organizations to work. I am considering it as a serious issue since it has already taken hell lot of time of the passengers. The bus had to reach bangalore by 6:00 to 6:15 but still we are stuck somewhere near tumkur and time is 7:46am. This is a very serious issue with respect to passengers. I kindly ask vrl to take strict action about this. Please throw away your junk buses and replace with new ones. Or else stop your vrl travels if you can't maintain it. Strongly recommended all my contacts not to travel through vrl

Hello,
This is very disappointing service given from you. We chose travels for the comfort travelling. But service given by you is really very worst. Your drivers have driving very rough.
I asked your driver to keeping driving safe, he shouted me, "then what i do? You chose last barth, then its not our responsibility."

Is it your not responsibility to give your customers comfort travelling??
Then why should we not choose any other traveling options?
Its my last journey from your company.
Ty.

3.30am on 11 feb 2018 bus stops at vrl patrol bunk and vrl canteen. I had been to washroom where there was a guy sitting behind the window on the wall with half clothes on from bottom. When i went back and screamed at him, he started running i couldn't even catch him because of this clothes and also because he was not fully dressed. When i can out and complained to the nearest counter the reaction was first in such a way that they didn't believe me. Then they are giving reasons saying there is no way any one can come there it has plants and no one can enter there. I asked him then do u think i am lying at 3.30am in the morning. Then he is sending a gard to check the place. I was shocked that the security level was so poor. This was my first time journey in vrl with my mom from chikodi to bangalore. It started from chikodi at 7.30 on 10 feb 2018. My name is pooja and i am traveling with my mom anita. A very bad experience. Ladies be careful before you go to any washroom check properly what is going on at the back side of the washroom also.

Worst experience verry irresponsible driver and vrl staffss

I had been using vrl service for bangalore-hyd route in 2013. So i suggested same to my wife for nagpur-pune journey. But this was biggest mistake in my life. I had booked vrl ac sleeper @8.30pm from nagpur to pune on 22/12/2017. Tkt no. Tkdg87548553. Due to suffocation/bad maintenance of ac, my wife started feeling vomiting sensation, later it went worst. She requested to driver & staff to stop the bus for a while, but he denied to stop. And due to that she vomited in bus itself. After that also he did not stop at all. Later on she asked for extra blanket/bedsheet but again she got no response. This was once of worst part of his journey and shame for bus no gj18az0125 staff behavior. I could not understand, how vrl bus staff can be so insensitive to some lady passenger. Dear concern please take action on it. Please feel free to contact me on [protected].

I booked for vrl bus from rajhamundry to bangalore on 15th dec 2017. Pnr number 11980599. Actual departure timing was 7.30 p. M. I arived the departure at 7 and i was in contact with driver upto 8. He infromed bus is delayes by 30 min. But at around 8.30 pm i was informed by the local vrl office that the bus is cancelled. I asked for refund. He informed, in bangalore also u can get refund with any of vrl office. After with so much difficulty in reaching bangalore over phone i contacted vrl office for refund. One person informed to contact jayanagar 9th block branch office for refund. But till today i visited jnr office for four times. Every time they are telling that they dont have money to refund. For 945 rupees refund i spent around 500 rupees for auto. Till now i not received my money back. Really a bad experience from vrl. Sorry to inform. I was informed about the delay of bus very late. Vrl not made alternate arrangement also for me to reach my destination

Vehical no - ka25 d4504 from bengalure to bagalkot on 23rd december 2017 depature time was 10:5pm bus stopped due to head light and internal lights failure in peeny 8th main mechanic arriveal was late. Customer care response was not good bus moved from peenay 8th main at 12:05am delayed for 2hrs. And driver has no idea about the problem.
Maintainance problems shouldn't happen in such a negligent way, its a passengers nightmare to change their schedule according to the delay
Please ensure that this shouldn't happen again

It's purely known vrl is one among best transportation service to passengers from one place to another, but yes as my experience today while travelling in this bus made me fel yuk, when i told driver to stop vehical for nature call, even though it was stop in tool booth, driver spoke in worst manner as we supposed to pee in bus itself!! My peace of mind made me avoid to hit on his face!!!

I have booked ticket from vapi to bangalore for journey on 09.11.2017, bearing ticket no. Tkb[protected], through redbus. The scheduled departure was 23.00 p. M on 09.11.2017 at vapi and scheduled arrival was 5.00 p. M on 10.11.2017 at bangalore.
The bus arrived vapi at 23.30 pm on 09.11.2017 at vapi and reached bangalore majestic at 8.30 p. M on 10.11.2017 with delay of 3.30 hours. The late arrival at bangalore by 3.30 hours is very worst one.
Expecting some delay in arrival at bangalore, i have booked ticket from bangalore to tuticorin on 10.11.2017 at 8.30 p. M. From madiwalla in srm bus, bearing ticket no. Wb107bbac00 at cos of rs.840/-
Due to the delayed arrival of your vrl bus, at bangalore by 3.30 hours, i was unable to catch my bus to tuticorin and hance incurred a loss of rs.840/-
Now, i request your esteemed organisation to refund me a sum of rs.840/- favourably.
Further, i wish to inform that, the bus driver himself admit that the bus will never reach bangalore by 5.00 pm at any time. If so, why you are putting the scheduled time of arrival at bangalore as 5.00 pm. If my travel is alongwith my female family members like wife, daughter etc., and missed the onward journey bus, due to your delay, that will cause more problem.
Kindly, refund me a sum of rs.840/- to me favourably.
Thanking you,
N. Senthil kumaran[protected]

Today i have buked the ticket from bangalore to bidar but due to some reasons i have to cancel but according to your rules the time for cancelling the ticket is over, they are not even cutting some percentage of the ticket money and giving us back our ticket money, i
Have to cancel ticket but according to your rules we have to cancel ticket before four hours but sometimes we decide at last moment to cancel. So make customer friendly rules not for your profits. Atleast give us some amount of our ticket money by cutting some percentage.

Everyone i travel to nagpur from pune, i prefer travelling by vrl buses. The service is awesome, no competition. The punctuality, bus qualities, maintanance, cleanliness and everything. The one thing that embarrasses me is when the driver stops for dinner, the designated hotel *hotel sai welcome* is very very bad. They serve late first of all then the food is also tasteless as well as the quality of the food is also the worst. I have literally...

Dear sir,

Bus hubli to raichur dated 24th oct'17 my seat nor l9 but i was forced to take seat l19 as the lady who booked l8 besides my seat was not able to exchange the seat with other lady. As i had booked the seat well in advance when verified and the lady after knowing male co passanger booked the seat. It is very inconvenient for me to take another seat.
Lady booking should not have been allowed when already a male passenger is travelling. Since it was inconvenient to other co passenger as bus got delayed by 45 min bcz of this issue i had to change seat as the lady passenger was adamant n not willing to change. So with lot of anger i am complaining either you should not allow such booking or give the seat to person who has booked in advance.

Regards
Sayed aslam

Hello,

I have booked vrl bus ticket through redbus.

1. Due to bus cancellation by vrl for route bangalore sirsi friday, october 20, 2017, i have asked for refund, which vrl office had agreed and told me to collect from east end circle.

2. I have visited east end circle jayanagar 3 times and everytime they have informed that they don't have money for refund and also told vrl head office is not giving them money for refund. This is worst nightmare experience that i'm undergoing and also breach of service on bus operators part.

3. Vrl head office bangalore is also convincing everytime that refund will be provided. It has been 4 days that i'm denied refund

3. Redbus is playing safe that due to t & cs that refund must be collected travels office in case of bus cancellation

Traveling from mumbai to belgaum i shift multi axle volvo ac sleeper bus
Paid 1680 for the ticket and on boarding the bus and reaching the seat saw multiple cockroaches on the seat, curtain and rods
This was not just on my seat but all the seats in the bus... All the passengers were troubled by it
Couldn’t sleep one wink because of them
What is the point of paying so much for the ticket when the quality and hygiene in the bus is zero?

Hello,

We have chosen Vrl travels out of all travels available as we thought this travels has feasible boarding points for us.
But as we have booked a seat in Ka25/d1398 from Hyderabad to banglore on 18th of October 2017 boarding at miyapur Alwyn Hyderabad. Ticket number bearing: TKBE49328889
The bus driver is not responsible enough to call the customer before leaving the point even though we were there at the boarding point on time.
Very irresponsibly he moved away from the point and asking us to come board the bus in Mehdipatnam.
We even called customer care numbers to ‭[protected]‬ and also ‭[protected]‬. But the people where answering very irresponsibly saying whatever you want to do you can do. Is this the way a customer is treated. Even we tried to request the bus driver to stop in next stop kondapur as we were near but they dint pick up the call either.
We have to pay 450 rupees for cab which is almost equal to bus fare to catch the bus.

I strongly demand an explanation on this to me as a consumer or else I am going to launch complaint in customer forum as well. I am ready to take this to any extent possible where the arrogant behavior of staff on top of irresponsible behaviour will lead to huge damage.

I am even going to post this on all social network sites along with ticket number and proofs. As we have booked this red bus am also going to launch this complaint in red bus and all of do owe me an explanation for this.

On 15/10/2017 at 8:40 pm i boarded vrl multi axel a. C. Volvo bus mumbai to goa bus at andheri which arrived late from the scheduled time i. E 7:46 pm. The condition of the bus was pathetic. There was loud rattling noise throughout the journey. The seat were so uncomfortable. The entire bus was viberating. When we informed the bus driver and helper about this noise issue and vibration of the bus. To our surprise they informed us that it's...

My travel in vrl bus recently has been very unpleasant one! Any traveler would not like to be welcomed by bedbugs.

Mine was a to-and-fro journey on consecutive days. And i had to travel through the same bus (Unfortunately the same seats!) on both days.in spite of complaining about the bedbugs after the first journey.. No action was taken against it. I had to travel back with the same bugs!
I have huge allergy due to bedbug bites and had to visit hospital after repeated travel.

I surely had not paid rs 700 to travel with bedbugs and end up having skin allergies. I have experienced the same allergy earlier but have realized that it is/was due to bedbugs only this time!

If proper maintenance actions are not taken, then there is no point in paying hundreds of rupees to travel with bedbugs and end up with unwanted donation of blood to parasites!
