hike in bus fare during festivals

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

This is terrific. VRL is cheating people like anything by increasing the fare double the amount of original during festivals. This deepavali they have kept the fare more than 1000 rs. which will be 500 during normal period. These people are looting people. Please rise the voice against them to get justice for the common people. No other travels will hike the fare. if at all they hike its only rs 100 which is affordable. How could they cheat...

bed bugs in buses

I've travelled form mangalore to dharwad and back many times from VRL, Ganesh Travels, and Durgamba.

Every bus is infested with bedbugs and the management or people at booking counters dont care one bit ! Obviously they wont, coz they never travel to the places we do! Even if you complain, its clear from their responses that it makes no difference to them
Its impossible...

Bedbugs in seats

Respected Sir /Madam,


Hi, this is Smitha here. I had booked a bus from Bijapur to Bangalore on the 15th of January scheduled at 8:45pm. Since the bus had a technical problem, it departed at 10pm. But, the bus reached Bangalore well before time at 9am for which the driver needs to be appreciated. The problem i faced in my bus journey is that of the bed bugs, due to which i could not sleep peacefully. Therefore, I kindly...

Increase in fare during holidays/weekends

Dear all,

VRL is cheating people by increasing double/tripple the normal fare during holidays/weekends. Is anybody there to stop them. How can they cheat like this????. Sometimes the fare crossed 1000Rs to travel between belgaum and bangalore. I suggest everyone stop travelling in VRL. Please take necessary action on them.

BED BUGS ON SEATS

I’m Prof. A S Kshatriya from Symbiosis, Pune. I traveled last night from Belgaum to Pune using your service. I regret to say that you are a poorly managed group. Your service was pathetic and attitude of people to look after our complaints was even shameful. The seats were full of bed bugs. We could not sit let alone sleeping. We requested for change of bus, but in vain. The driver was not bothered at all. Kindly take a note of this. I...
