★★★★ Manikanta V K 5/8/2026
One of the worst company ever, they won't be doing business anymore. Simply cancel the trip and won't even inform. And for refund, despite multiple follow-ups no response. The support team is not at all connecting. it's been 30 days+ but no response yet, I am following up with the support team multiple times, but no response yet. Don't use this app anymore. Fraud fraud fraud.....

★★★★ Chetan Bilagi 5/8/2026
Fraudulent company. Cheating customers by offering fake discounts, mismatched seat arrangements. Third class experience.
★★★★ hardik vadher 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
complain 32623737 We booked a direct AC bus and front seats actual service completely different The bus was delayed 1 hour at Mount Abu.

At Abu Road, we were shifted to a differen The bus provided from Abu Road to Ahmedabad did not have the facilities The staff and bus operator behaved rudely and unprofessional We raised complaints with the redBus support team, but no proper response or callback was provided

Payment system is like cheating...show 1520 and deducted ₹1596....76 ₹ more without any information which is purely cheating service. Next I will never prefer this cheater Ghanshyam Travel
★★★★ ravi kumar 5/8/2026
Worst service from RedBus, especially their customer support. Please don’t use these kinds of apps. The management response is also very poor. Extremely disappointing experience.
★★★★ Mandar Desai 5/8/2026
Very poor refund policy. They took 15 days to process the refund.
★★★★ Sean 5/8/2026 v81.8.5
FRAUD people. Your coupons never reflect the actual discount, which is way less. Add to that GST and other charges which no local agent charges. Complete frauds
★★★★ Sandeep Singh 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
no any difference between broker and red bus app bcz both not take any responsibility. bus timing, condition, damage, live location, delay all thing app not responsible any think only responsible for book ticket. else journey completed or not
★★★★ Vivek Devina 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
Very disappointed with my travel experience in 30 April 2026 with Seshadri Travels (SSD). AC is not working properly. When we asked the driver, he simply said it would take time to fix, but no proper response or support was given. Passengers are suffering because of this issue. Also, RedBus customer care is not responding properly. Customers are paying full ticket charges, but the service provided is very poor. In the RedBus app, the bus images and fitness documents shown are completely differ
★★★★ Amit D 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
does not publish review, review was given through app only. looks like redbus manipulates reviews and publish only good reviews (i have provided review for one bus, rated 1 star, it's been a week since review was submitted) talked with redbus customer care, no definitive answer provided about ETA to publish review on redbus app
★★★★ Mugdha Sharma 5/8/2026
fraud and pathetic, unprofessional, misleading
★★★★ SANJAY KUMAR RAY 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
While booking it is showing to use the red bus wallet balance but it is not used while paying
★★★★★ Kodi gopi 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
Hi sir, when is the live track on your app, but the live track comes at 3 o'clock after the bus starts. That too is only for 3 or 4 hours. Also, there are no offers.
★★★★★ srinivas sappa 5/8/2026 v81.9.5
not bad
★★★★★ Deepak Sawant 5/8/2026 v81.6.1
good
★★★★★ Ritik Chaturvedi 5/8/2026 v81.5.1
