Hi,

Booked 2 ticket for 17th April from Hyderabad to Bangalore.
The bus was late to reach Bangalore by 6 hours. The driver has no information about the routes properly he is driving continuously on the village roads instead of main national highway road. When asked he says there was once accident so he took diversion and took the longest route for 6 hours.
Due to this we had a major hit in our professional life and due to this we lost lot of money and we need compensation for the same.
Here is the details of the bus attached.

Even after the bus was late he did not stop for breakfast on which i was carrying twins of 5 months old. The AC vent was also loose.

We had expected vrl to be the good buses but delay and bus service had made a major difference to travelling with vrl once again.

      Address: Vrl bus stand anand rao circle

      Service
      Bus drivers don’t have a decency to talk when requested to keep a luggage bag down I was directly said no and the way the driver replied as if he is making money for keeping luggage . When I have payed for a ticket and all asked to keep my 1 luggage bag down. May be I am from a different state but when someone talks rudely I can understand. So I just step down and I saw he was demanding 800 to keep some other persons box ??luggage. I also informed the management but it looks they all work hand in hand. Vrl got a big reputation that the only reason I choose. And they are prety decent.
      I also have a recording of demanding money to keep luggage. But file is too big to upload

          Hi,

          I have a complaint regarding ac which was turned off by drivers in the midnight. Requested to turn it on, but for a next hour they will do it, after that same thing.
          This feels really negative about vrl travels.

                  While booking the ticket it's mentioned boarding point is gorguntepalya.. Peoples are waiting there but no one from VRL travels will call and asked passengers where they are stuck.The boarding point was opposite of peenya metro station but no where it's mention, while booking online it will show gorguntepalya.it's an very worst service from VRL..and also the bus will not come for proper time what they have mentioned in the ticket..

                      I booked ticket but while leaving from boarding point didn't called, even they not verified number of passenger present in there bus, I fell shame on this silly thing, they wasted my money, even they are not ready to resolve this, I called the driver and staff many times but no use, Hope I can get positive response let see what happens. Really very bad for me. I booked another bus.

                        Address: 1/102, Divya Kiran Apts,, 1st Main Gopalpura,, Santhekatte

                        I had booked a ticket for my sister for travel to Udupi from Mumbai on 23rd Feb 2023, she wanted to prepone the visit to 16th Feb 2023 because of some commitment. I called VRL office customer care and even sent emails but they said that modification is not possible. Eventually my sister could not travel on 23rd Feb 2023 and hence lost the ticket fare of Rs.982/-
                        The amount is not that big but its a matter of principle, I am a regular traveller with VRL and did not expect such a behavior

                          VRL agents /booking center peoples, they will block the seats and we will not able to book the seats in online as it will shw already booked and they will sell the ticket offline

                          Then VRL should close the online booking option and they should sell the tickets offline only!

                          Why they are doing this.
                          It should be completely online or offine.

                            Hi. This complaint is due to repeated experience with the same problem! There is absolutely no sense of punctuality. The bus literally did a U turn and went back 60km to pick up a forgotten passenger. And the bus was delayed by 2 hours. The bus operators dont seem to understand that we book a bus that reaches early morning (6amish) for a reason, as we have to be at hospital/work early! And thats the whole point of booking such buses. And this isnt the first time it’s happening, be it from blore to mlore or mlore to belgaum! And its not just 10-15 mins delay, its always been 1-2hrs delay!! This was the last straw with this travel and never been this disappointed and never booking a bus from this again!

                              I had a transaction failure on booking a ticket through VRL portal on 16'th Dec-2022 and amount of RS2294 was deducted from my account. Its been nearing 2 months still i have not received the amount from them, Even though iam following up with the VRL customer care through email and call but it proving to be of no issue, Can the complaint be registered and can be taken forward to take necessary actions against VRL entity.

                              VRL order id 3483251

                                You have provided a seat in a junk bus instead of providing sleeper for both o[censored]s resulting in trauma and sickness.

                                rest assured me or my friends will never travel through vrl.

                                looks like the bus was changed at the last minute. bus crew was also not courteous.

                                  I Dr S.M Awanti had travelled by VRL BUS from Gulbarga to Udupi on[protected], on that day bus got delayed to start from the starting point of address, near jewari road, ambabhavani temple- kalaburagi, main offiice, inspite of this half an hour delay, then for night dinner bus was stopped for night dinner at 10 pm at chille restaurant which was between bagalkot and hubbali. The drivers made us to wait for more than 1 hour fifteen minutes. when i asked why so much of delay, they didnt give me the correct reason and said this is company point for having dinner, go and complaint to comapany, we cannot do anything, next day morning again he stopped at entrance o[censored]dupi for nearly 20 minutes to 30 minutes for unloading of some goods items, by the time he reached maitri complex in udupi, it was around 7:30 am in the morining... The drivers of this bus on that day with bus no-KA25D0579, CONTAct no-[protected]. 26th jan 2023 from udupi to mangalore bus... Because of this careless attitude of drivers, i had got delayed for one of my important exam... VRL is not maintaining the scheduled time of reaching to destination and very casual behaviour of drivers towards thier pasenegers... its very disheartening that Once VRL travels had a very big name and good reputation... its getting spoilled becuase of these types BAD attitude of drivers.
                                  I request VRL to kindly take this matter on priority and initiate action on those drivers which are bringing disrepute to such a reputed comapny.
