                I booked 2 tickets one from Thrissur to Bangalore and other from Palakkad to Bangalore (TH[protected] and TH[protected]) in Padmesh travels. They allotted a Bus named "GURU" seat numbers 5 and 21. I boarded the bus from Thrissur Mannuthy By pass. When the bus reached Chandranagar before Palakkad Highway police blocked the bus and were telling that the bus owners have not paid the tax amount of 75000 and driver was not having any papers with him. We were struck there from 9.30pm till 1 Am. As ladies we were not able to go back or board another bus or the bus owners were taking the responsibility.In the mid night we nearly 8 ladies were standing in the highway were there was no option to go anywhere. We paid 1600 for this worst bus and after reaching Hosur we were shifted to another local bus. We reached Bangalore by 9.40 and we missed our office due to this. We want an explanation for this.

                  Hi, I am about to board the bus by 11am at national travels from bangalore 01/04/2015. But the bus came by 12. When I asked him for my seat, the driver said there is no seat. I showed my ticket and still he did not let me in. I was waiting for the next bus and again the next bus driver dint let me in to board the bus. It was around 2.30 hours I am struggling to board and still all the same. The final bus driver at national travels pushed me outside the bus, hit me with the stick and closed the door and I literaly fell down on the road. I need you to take severe action on them and refund my ticket. Else I am going to consumer court filing a case on them for misbehaviourol and filing a case on u for not recommending the right bus. Hope u take sincere action before I proceed.

                      Dear Team, I had booked tickets from your esteemed organisation With PNR RZKBQT from Delhi to Chittaurgarh on 20 March for 21 march. As per your email (print out of ticket) and guidance on message I had visited Ajay Travels c/o Ashoka travel shop No. 91, Khanna Market, near ST Stephen hospital, Tis Hajari, Delhi. They had given me Sleeper no O in there vehicle number RJ27 PA 1010. In morning at 8:20 am (22 March, 2015) bus reached to Bhilwara (60 Km before chittaurgarh), when I asked to local office regarding what about my ticket to Chittaurgarh, they told me this bus is just from Delhi to Bhilwara & for Chittorgarh I have to travel by Rodaways on my own expense. I am shocked that after booked ticket in advance from red bus I had paid extra amount from Bhilwara to chittaurgah. I need call with logical resolution & my amount Rs 53 plus Rs 20 back along with mental harassment compensation from your side. Regrards: Narendra Kumar Salvi ICICI Bank

                        Booked a ticket from hubli to mumbai (borivali) being very specific. but after booking 3 seats i find out that the bus i have got my seats reserved terminates at Crawford market. tried calling the executives. Executive assures the issue will be resolved by noon.Even after waiting till noon i call the customer service only to find that nothing has been done about the issue. if i go to cancel the ticket i need to forfeit a sum of 450 for no reason from my end. what sort of a website this is...there is absolutely lack of interest from the company's end in resolving such issues.

                          Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

                          Hello, Today my friend booked a BUS from RED BUS from Hyderabad to Pune: BUS - HBK Tours Bus No : KA-01AA-3772 Survive no - MUM HM1 Date : 15th March 2015 (Sunday) This is our India.Here a Girl had 3 or 4 luggage and was waiting for HBK BUS. BUS stopped at opposite side of road, so this girl asked for help from conductor to get her luggage. Conductor refuses to help. Then girl asked him for 2 minutes as she need to take auto from opposite side to get her luggage, she cant do it all alone. Conductor says ok, as she was in the process mean while driver moved the BUS. Girl has to follow the BUS and called company to ask driver to stop, then he stopped he BUS. This is a SHAME on people who really don't respect people specially women and old age people traveling alone. No one is boarding the BUS for free, so company should respect their customers. They should be punished or fine for this. So please help on the same. I really wish to know whatever action been taken and also I nothing done, I will surely remove Red BUS from my List and ask my friends the same. Thank you Abhinav Email: [protected]@yahoo.com

                            Me and my friend was travelling from Bangalore to Hyderabad on 4th Jan 2015 using a ticket booked on Redbus.in (ticket no. TGDR[protected]. However, the bus broke down in midway in midnight. The bus operator did not pick up his phone and we had to manage our way back to Hyderabad on our own. I tried to call the bus operator after a day and he told me to raise a complaint to redbus. I did that and got the complaint no.[protected]. After few days I got the sms that the complaint had been closed. They did not provide any resolution and when I called them they just lied to me that it has not been closed. However, I never got any update from them. Please look into this matter and help me get my money back.

                                I had booked ticket from bangalore to chennai on meenakshi travels on 22nd feb 2015. The bus has to come to madiwala at 12AM but till 3AM the bus has not came and i had to take a alternate plan. So i came to chennai by another bus. When i insisted redbus to refund my amount both redbus and meenakshi travels deny that the bus has came to the boarding point at 4AM which is 4 hours from actual and saying its due to a traffic problem. The meenakshi travels are the worst service who operates from chennai to bangalore and redbus is also justifying them. I Need my ticket amount 4194 to be paid back immediately

                                  I travelled from Jaipur to Delhi yesterday (27th Feb, 2015) with Ticket NO. TH3T4924692 The vehicle arrived 1 hour late from the reporting time and 45 minutes late from the pick-up time. The vehicle was NOT the one promised (Innova) but a smaller and less comfortable car (Etios). The driver seemed like running away from police, his average speed was 120 km/hr on the highway. Half-way through the journey (at Bilaspur), the driver was changed, which caused further delay in coordinating. The journey took a total time of 7 hrs, a far cry from the advertised 3:50 mins. I was dropped off at Rajiv Chowk at 12 midnight! In short, there NOTHING positive and I will NEVER opt for another RedBus service neither will I ever recommend this to anyone, in fact, I will make sure that I publicise such poor quality and unprofessional service quality widely.
                                  Hi,
                                  I had to visit Lucknow for office work so I booked a bus from delhi to lucknow by redbus via Royal Crusier dated 1st march 2015. My pickup point was Akshar dham MAndir parking point.Jsut 3 hours before boarding I was informed that my pick up point has been change to Anand Vihar ISBT which was a really shocking as the distance b/w the old & new pick up point was more than 10 km.Secondly the bus was really in a miserable condition of some KAlpana Travels .The bus service was worse and more like government buses.
                                  Things which I want to know.
                                  1> What was the role of Royal Cruiser when I was travlling from Kalpana travels bus.
                                  2> The charge of the bus which I came to know from the conductor was only Rs 900 so why I was charged Rs 1450.
                                  I am attaching the ticket received by Red bus.
                                  why i am paying 600Rs extra for poor Service?? it is froad with customer..

                                      I have booked two tickets from bangalore to Hyd for 26-1-15 on 17-1-15 in new Dhanujaya travels. vide ticke no TH2K62294437, PNR No: DJY2496-DNJ11. I have contacted on 25-1-15 new Dhanujaya travels, HYD, she said tickets have been booked on Radhakrishna Name only . But I have eticket from redbus seat numbers1&2. But she didnot responded properly. Insisted for Bangalore No, she gave, when we contacted he does not want talk, told contact hyd office. I have contacted on 25-1-15 redbus customer care saying the above story, but cc person told your tickets are confirmed and sent message also. Surprisingly, when I contacted 26-1-15 afternoon new Dhanujaya travels told bus has been cancelled, He told very recklessly you contact only redbus. When we contact redbus cc still they were telling your ticket confirmed, When I insisted they were keep telling we are going to take our higher authorities and they will call you back. there is no call back from redbus. When I contacted again at 4 pm, they told it is cancelled do your alternate. If we believe red bus and go to the bus teriminal at 8.30 pm, what is going to our situation, no body is there at marathahalli, opposite kalamandir, about these travels, I am supposed to attend office next day morning. Now you tell, what is our mental agony. I have enquired about travels, they are not reliable, why you have taken authorisation those kind of travels, otherwise take penality amount, from travels. I have spent my time and phone calls, whether you are going to pay penality or travels, we donot know You have to arrange. I donot need your sorry. I need penality amount min Rs 5000/-, because last moment every body was demanding Rs 2000/- per ticket.. I need compensation from redbus/travels Do needful Thank you, Radhakrishna, [protected]

                                        To meet my professional requirement have booked a ticket from Kochi to Kannur on 6th Jan 2015, the date and time is given in the ticket was 7th Jan 1 AM and asked to report @ Vytila Jn by 1 AM. I got the following as confirmation as SMS and Email -Ticket no: TH[protected], PNR no: DME50025 I have reached Vytila Jn by 00.45 AM and waited till 2 AM, later realized from other bus operators that the bus left from the boarding point before 00.45 AM. Later spoke to the customer care support staff Mr.Rahul to express my displeasure on this but surprised with his response Mr. Rahul was explaining that, according to Indian standard time the ticket is booked on 6th Jan 2015 for the travelling of 8th Jan 01 AM !!!, I am attaching the ticket hard copy where it is very well written that, departure by 01 AM on 07th Jan 2015. This is really disgusting to feel that your customer care is trying to fool the customer after putting in a life threatening situation at midnight. Secondly, i have called up the contact no given in the bus -[protected] to understand the boarding point and timing, the first response was he is not from KTC he is from skyline tours thus he doesn't know what is the exact time of the bus, however he told me that bus will not leave before 1 AM. Here the fact is the bus left before 00.45 AM. Finally, terms and conditions of redbus says, the departure time mentioned on the ticket are only tentative timings. However the bus will not leave the source before the time that is mentioned on the ticket. I feel it as a collective effort to fool the traveler partnering some bus operators to do some suspicious business So think twice before doing any ticket booking with redbus, there are other platforms gives better service and rates
