Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many consumers expressed intense frustration regarding customer support, pointing out that assistance lines remain constantly busy, agents are completely unresponsive, and getting a timely resolution is nearly impossible. People also highlighted major problems with the booking and refund procedures, describing sudden trip cancellations, unexpected delays, and severe difficulties in obtaining their rightfully owed money back.
Some reviewers were happy with the smooth booking steps, cooperative assistance, and generally comfortable journeys provided by specific travel operators. These individuals noted that certain drivers and conductors were very helpful with luggage, while a few journeys managed to remain completely on schedule and relaxing overall.
Bus caught fire and they left the customers on road
The app and their support itself a scam they are organising scam in a corporate way.
They bus I booked cought fire and left the passengers on the road and ran away later after stuglling 1 hour I got the customer support guy who's was having no clue of bus said bus got smoke only no fire and making excus after lefting 45 passengers on road he was just saying you can bord from around 15km away from the location at 11pm in the night please refuse to book from there better to book direct from the operator at latest they can offer better support and know where the bus is these guys have no clue.
Attching the details
Bus did not came ,i had to go through another bus with longer route because there was no buses left for that day to go that location .no prior information that bus is not coming .i don’t recommend to use the app just go to the stop and show hand and ask the bus conductor directly
Very very pathetic service redBus is giving nowadays, We have booked for AC travels while booking it was showing AC but after paid amount in bill it was showing booked for Non-AC bus, But we are still ok for that but after saw bus condition it was window also not opening, bedsheet also in bad condition very pathetic service received by red bus, And after over all vendor told us to talk with redBus customer care it is their false while we are trying to reach customer care, literally we were not able to connect while we have tried too many times, Very pathetic service, condition, and it is happened second time with us. So kindly request to all do not book by redBus if you want comfortable and safest ride ever, otherwise your harden money will be waste.

Worst experience
my journey booked with Swami Travels from Pune Wakad to Borivali, Mumbai.
At the time of booking, the route was clearly shown as via Western line, with Borivali displayed as the final drop location. Based on this confirmed information, I booked an upper single sleeper seat due to a medical back condition and my regular overnight weekend travel between Pune and Mumbai.
Despite the operator having complete access to my seat number and drop location, I was never informed—neither at boarding nor during the journey—that:
The bus would not go to Borivali, and
Borivali passengers would be forcibly transferred to another bus.
While I was asleep, I was carried to a different route on the Central side without my knowledge or consent. I later learned that the staff allegedly “announced” Borivali passengers from outside where they usually sit without entering the sleeper area or ensuring that passengers were properly informed. This was told to me by the fellow pax that they didn’t come inside.
I ultimately had to get down at Pallava City Flyover, an unfamiliar and unsafe location, and it took me over 3.5 hours to reach my residence.
As a woman travelling alone, this constitutes a serious breach of duty of care, passenger safety, and service ethics. Waking up in an unknown location and being abandoned far from the booked destination is not merely inconvenience — it is endangerment.
And giving me a compensation of 100rs lol
Don’t book from this app please
Firstly, RedBus tracking does not work at all 😞. Even though there are options to track using the PNR number and mobile number, after submitting the details it shows an error saying that the email ID is incorrect 😡.
Secondly, the service is always late at both pickup and drop locations 😠. A delay of 10–20 minutes is understandable, but making passengers wait for 2 hours is far too long and completely unacceptable 😤⏰.
🗣️💯 My honest opinion 👉 📢📺 advertising pe sirf dhyaan dene ke bajay ❌
⚠️🛠️ apni poor service 😞 par bhi dhyaan dena chahiye ✅
Travelled to Indore from Nashik in sleeper coach - Hans travels
While bus is good, pillow is small and no blanket provided hence 4 stars
Booking is easy, reminder call at stop and boarding is helpful
I was booking ticket on an offer of 15% discount. Ticket price was Rs 8032. But Redbus didn't complete the payment, I paid. It asked for Rs 8500 for the next attempt. I think it was not allowing the payment by algorithm to steal customers' money unethically.
