Shrinidhi is at his reviewing best when he weighs the pros and cons of booking a ticket via Redbus.in-
Linked by mridula. Join Blogbharti facebook group.I’ve personally experienced in Omer travels who put plastic stools in the passage way and accommodate extra people. Money earned through these unaccounted seats is often shared among bus crew and travel agent who brings the passengers. More the number of passengers coming through RedBus.in and other such service providers less will be the chance for these people to unofficially sell off a seat and make money. RedBus.in customers, having paid in full, are at the mercy of the bus crew to reach their destinations and often get worst of the service due to bad attitudes and mentality of some bus crew. Only surprise raids by bus owners can stop this.
i had booked tickets for to and fro from Hyd to Gnt, these red bus people delivered me the tickets and took their amt, later, before my journey date, they cancelled my tickets without intimating me, later their response for that is they wil give full amt back, but finally they cut 10% cancellation charges. these r playing with the emotions of people, They have no attitude.
Stupid people. Don’t book u r tickets through this,Plz
Thanks Nagamani for sharing your views and I am sorry to hear that the experience did not go well.
Hi All,
Please don’t travel by Omer Travels. Such a menace they are. These idiots donot have any concerns for the customers or travellers.
I have travelled from Mumbai to Hyderabad on 27th September 2008, by Omer Travels. One of their A/C Volvo buses was supposed to pick me from Airport to SION and I had to travel by a Non Ac Volvo.
The bus was supposed to pick me up by 7 PM but turned at pickup point at 9:30 PM. Then in Sion it turned out that this bus was in repair and also we are asked to get down as we had non a.c tickets. So some of us paid for A.c. not willing to get out of A.C. But later what we came to know was that all non a.c. buses left and we were fooled by this deal of changing to a.c. tickets.
We were not even told that the bus was in repair and cannot go far. It was already 11:30 Pm in Mumbai.
Bu started and after going 30km there was smoke all around and they repaired and then at last at max it reached Khapoli that is 60km away from Mumbai. We were forced to spend our night there. They very well knew that the bus can’t travel long. They played this mischief with us as they will have to refund if they stopped their bus in mumbai itself.
We were given another stupid bus at 9 AM and we reached at 11:30 PM. That too we were forced to get down in either Patancheru or Mehdipatnam saying some stupid causes.
My other observations were that they use all used and old buses which have met accidents before. The driver and attendant are very rude to travellers.
Adding to agony the cleaner was demanding Rs 100 - 200 from people who were carrying the luggage.
My short trip to Mumbai turned into a nightmare because of this ordeal.
Please pass on this message to all you know to never go by Omer Travels.
