Sir,
my material has been dispatched from zirakpur on 19.11.16 L.R.NO:[protected], normally it takes 6 to 8 days but this time till today i have not received the material & your people are telling that it will take 2 more days.
i am your customer from past 8 yrs, this kind of delay affects my business very badly.
kindly look into the matter & see that such mistakes never happen again.

      We had booked a ticket from Davangere to Vashi on 5th Nov for our guest but had to cancel this ticket.
      Now when we went to cancel this ticket we were told to show the id proof of the ticketholder as the guest was from Mumbai she currently didnt had any id proof with her.
      And we were told the ticket cant be cancelled, now this is so very stupid policy as this is loss of money and time.
      Very very inconvinient service.
      This would be the last time i booked a ticket for VRL travels.

      I would prefer not to book any ticket for VRL.:

        Cancellation of ticket

        I have travelled from bengaluru to visakapatam tr no i s 8555720 on 13 october after two hours of journey the bus got damaged .the main reason for the damage was the bus was not tested before the start of journey.
        I am thinking that vrl travels was playing with people risk.
        And the bus reached the destination late by 5 hours so that I lost my interview.
        Again I booked a ticket on vrl travels. From visakapatam to bangalore...

            Address: Belgaum, Karnataka, 590011

            I booked my ticket on 19th September with travelling date 21st September with ticket number 8380218 with seat number L13 from Belgaum. The day of travelling the person called me and told that the bus is cancelled we shifted to another thing bus with s.no L29 i said ok for them. After an hour again i got call from vrl office that bus also cancelled the woder thing is how 2buses will cancel in single day is it soo much of technical problem in single day for 2bus that too the leading travelling company giving the worst service for the customer telling that ur ticket is cancelled u go with refund and book with other bus. It sound like vrl giving worst service for customers.

                Hello,

                Below email I have sent to VRL Travels on 13-Jul-2016 followed by 17-Aug as there were no responses. Raising my voice.
                [protected][protected][protected][protected][protected][protected]
                Incident happened on 12-Jul-2016.
                TRNO=7796632

                Bus departed from Nagpur on (11-Jul-2016, MH04-G8813) was failed at around 6:00 AM near Waluj, Aurangabad. Driver requested to VRL for the replacement bus, the replacement bus reached at around 1:30 PM. There were around 40 passengers who were struggling desperately to reach Pune as everyone committed to their work/job. But the bus reached so late that everyone lost their office work. People were struggling for food but there were no food arrangements were made by VRL.
                Instead of helping people in such act VRL call center continuously disconnected the calls, we were helpless. When we tried calling Mr. Raviraj (Pune Branch manager), he was so busy that he didn’t even answer the calls.

                The physical and mental torture was unbearable, finally we reached home at around 8:30 PM. Thru this email I am writing to VRL for compensation of the day, it could be fare we paid for the travelling + food arrangements we did at our own + miscellaneous.

                We have got the driver’s confirmation where mention of bud failure.

                Looking for positive response from VRL travels.
                [protected][protected][protected][protected][protected][protected]

                I wrote this to VRL on Jul 13, 2016, followed by 17-Aug too but there was no response till 22-Aug. When VRL representative wrote to their local manager to look after this matter but no one turns up till date. I think it was my fault to travel using VRL bus. This is no way service provider way of working.

                Thru this complain I want to express my grief and want to aware all the commuters that not to or avoid using VRL services.

                There are many such incidents were reported by fellow commuters but since they don't have choice and so they were using the service with no option. I am just representing their voice.

                Regards
                Ashish

                  I have purchased ticket from pune to bangalore on 13 aug-16 which is travel for 15th aug-16. Fare collected from me was 2438 rs.
                  When i have checked ticket fare fir same bus on 15-aug for same day journey ticket fare was 1200 which half of the advance booking fare...

                  With this situation they are chaeting people while advance booking.

                  Why people should pay double amount in advance booking.

                    This is with regards to ticket booked by me for my father from mumbai - shravanabelagola saturday, july 30, 2016
                    Ticket no: tj8v63526844. i would quote the experience as "height of - no ethics... no empathy"

                    Ticket was booked till shravanbelgola. trouble started immediately as soon as my father boarded the bus. driver refused to drop to shravanbelgola. he said the bus will drop at channarayapatna and not shravanbelgola. how can he even dare to say so when the ticket is booked till shravanbelgola
                    I immediately then called up [protected]... phone no of vrl given in sms while booking ticket... on insistence the person says he will talk and resolve this. i thought it would be taken care now

                    To my surprise i realized from my father that the driver dropped him at channarayapatna... my father is almost 70yrs... driver did not even had the courtesy to drop my father at the bus depot... forget about helping to pick the luggage.

                    This is how senior citizens are treated???
                    Night of 1st aug, i called up on [protected] again... there is mr ketan here... listem what he is saying... this is your problem... dont call me... call at the office no. when i insisted he said he will check in the office today... and that he will not call and update me... i will have to call him at 11 today and check

                    Complaint has been raised with vrl for full refund for this torture. they are offering me a mearge sum of rs 200 which we have alread y spent over and above the tickets charges.

                    There is no further update from vrl

                    Ticket was booked through REDBUS.IN and they are also not resolving this
                    I have booked a ticket on red bus at 12:50 and by mistake the ticket was booked for the current day instead of the next day. I called them for 4 hours but no resolution was provided and my ticket was not cancelled. I was charged 700 and no rfund was made

                      I had taken the vrl bus from mangalore to bangalore last night (i. e[protected] bus no. 4792 and i had the worst experience. not only was the bus extremely delayed, what was surprising was they had never stopped for a toilet break for ladies, when i asked him to stop the bus for toilet break he gave me reasons saying we will stopping after 30 mins and this was at 2:30 am, usually most of the buses would stop by 2 am. but instead he stops in the middle of nowhere with no toilets after 45 mins. the hassan stop never happened and at 4 am he stops the bus at a toll and i see the cleaner and the driver have gone off to take a toilet break. what about the ladies in the bus? what were they expecting. when i ask him about why he hadnt stopped at hassan or anywhere, he replies back arrogantly saying it was blocked and some bull. and when i asked if there was any toilets anywhere close to where v had stopped, he asks me arrogantly to check for myself and it turned out there were toilets der, i went back to the bus and informed him to inform others cos there were other ladies in the bus. he was least bothered and started the bus instead. is this how a women is treated? i seriously hope a strict action is taken on these travels.
                      Poorest service with vast range of busses it's true

                            We travelled from Shirdi to Bangalore on 9th June 2016. After some distance from Ahemed Nagar, the gear box of the bus broke down and we waited there for 5 hours. Then a semi sleeper bus came and drove us back to Bangalore. We have booked by sleeper but came by semi sleeper bus. So, I want Refund of money from sleeper to semi-sleeper charge. The details of my tickets are attached here with.

                                    I have boarded a vrl bus from kamothe to bangalore (Ticket no tj[protected]) on 9th may 2016, first of all the bus was 1 hour late. It was to reach kamothe by 11:15 pm but actually reached at 12:20 am, after sometime i started feeling a bit cold and there were no sheets at my seat so i went to the conductor for the sheets to that he gave me sheets that were used and smelling bad. I asked him if he has a spare one, to that he said he said that he has no spare sheets and also cannot arrange one for me. I asked him that i would have to raise a complaint to that he said do whatever you want to but i cannot help you out.

                                    Kindly find below the bus no
