### 5/5 — Great app but broken tracking

*2026-04-20*

App UI is really good
And online payment feature is great
BUT the main problem lies with the actual bus tracking
Sometimes it simply can’t track all the buses and their exact routes
Like it will frequently show no bus of a particular number going on your route and then 5 minutes later you will see that exact bus
Now this has very real consequences 
Once I booked online a ticket for 172 because it was infact showing a 172 going my route
Then few minutes later it suddenly showed the 172 going off route
So I started walking towards a different bus stop 
And while I was walking a 172 went right pass me
So if you are using the app to pay online or decide which bus stop to go to
 please be extra cautious 
That’s it🤗

**Developer response:** Dear Aditya, we regret the inconvenience caused. We'd like to speak to you once about this and address it accordingly. Could you please write to us at contact@chalo.com?

### 5/5 — Ain’t nothing like Chalo Bus

*2026-03-23*

Only request is to add more routes! Connect colleges like NMIMS, huge crowd from our college actually loves to use your service.
So honestly, great bus service in Mumbai & Thane, it’s plans are very much affordable, their AC EV buses are very comfortable(with USB charging socket/reading lamp). They’re very punctual and also offer the flexibility to change seat(free), reschedule for free until your bus arrives, though cancellation is free only upto some time before the scheduled arrival of bus. Polite, friendly & skilled drivers. They’ve a very prompt customer support system reachable via in-app messaging & call. Overall excellent experience, I’ve personally never written a review for any app/service on AppStore, sheer excellence of this app compelled me to write one. Keep it up!😊

**Developer response:** We're happy to hear that your experience on the Chalo Bus was enjoyable. Keep riding with us. Thanks

### 3/5 — One-Sided Rules, Poor Experience

*2026-01-24*

The service is very disappointing. If passengers get delayed by even a few minutes at the pickup point, the bus does not wait and departs immediately. However, in my experience, the Chalo bus itself gets delayed many times—not just due to traffic, but also because the pickup time keeps changing due to “maintenance” or “technical issues.”

We planned our journey according to the pickup time and our next local train schedule, but the bus was delayed continuously. Many passengers waited almost 1 to 1.5 hours at the pickup location. If the bus gets missed due to Chalo’s delay, the passenger still loses ₹30, which is unfair.

What provision or compensation is there for passengers who wait for so long due to Chalo’s issues? This one-sided policy is very frustrating. Chalo should improve reliability and have a fair refund or compensation policy for such situations.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
We regret the inconvenience you had to face. Please note we are putting our best efforts to resolve this issue at the earliest. Meanwhile please accept our sincere apologies.

### 1/5 — Chalo - Mumbai (A disaster you can’t avoid)

*2025-12-16*

Chalo knows commuters in Mumbai don’t have any better option than travelling with them or with their competitor - Cityflo. They duly take advantage of this situation - sudden fare hikes, absolutely useless grievance redressal mechanism. Today my wife was stranded on a busy bus stop for more than an hour and half. And this is not a one of case that can be understood - this happens every now and then. Same has happened with me several times and I stopped using these services and started car pooling instead. I know there is no point of writing this review as Mumbaikars don’t have any other better option and even Chalo team will purchase more 5 star fake reviews to offset such 1 star reviews. My heartfelt condolences are with all Mumbaikars who have no other choice but to travel with Chalo :’(

### 1/5 — Scam by Chalo

*2025-12-01*

I bought a day pass on Sunday 9.38 pm for Rs. 472/- . the app issued the pass with validity till Sunday 11:59 pm. how can I schedule 2 rides at 10 PM in night, when there are no rides available from Chalo at that time? isn't it common sense that it should have been valid for next 24 hours? Infact it was mentioned that the pass would be available for 1-2 days only. when I tried connecting with customer support on chat no reply was provided till midnight and today morning they replied saying they can't do anything. won't reverse the amount and won't extend the validity. worst service ever. First they increased the fare and now the service is pathetic. I travelled by Chalo few days back and the bus was halted at toll on Atal Setu for more than 20-30 mins because the FASTag did not had balance. All the passengers were late to their work place that day. Who will answer or bosses for such delay, who will face the consequences for not reaching in time for a meeting which is of utmost priority. Worst worst worst

### 1/5 — Title: Needs Improvement – Bugs After Recharge on iOS

*2025-10-16*

Review:
I’ve been using the KSRTC Chalo app for a few days on iOS and noticed some issues that need attention. After recharging my account via Google Pay, the added balance doesn’t reflect immediately in the app. Once the payment is completed, the app often shows a white screen and becomes unresponsive.

As a fellow app developer, I understand how challenging it can be to maintain stability across platforms, but I hope the team can look into this and release an update soon. The app has great potential, and fixing these issues will definitely improve the user experience.

**Developer response:** Hi Abhijith, 
We'll share this feedback with our team. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

### 3/5 — Much needed app but poor execution

*2025-08-30*

The idea is excellent and much needed for Kerala RTC, but usability is weak. Live tracking only shows blue text labels with no icons or direction, making it hard to follow buses. Stops are cluttered with multiple overlaps at the same location, which is confusing. Bus info, stops, and map are split into separate screens, forcing users to jump around instead of seeing everything in one flow.

Simple fixes like proper bus icons with direction, color-coding based on GPS freshness, and filters for “From” and “To” on the live map would greatly improve trust and reduce clutter. The Chalo Card is also a smart idea, but poorly executed.

This app has real potential, but until reliability, UI, and enforcement improve, it won’t fully solve the problem it set out to fix.

**Developer response:** Dear user, We regret the inconvenience caused. We'd like to speak to you once about this and address it accordingly. Could you please write to us at contact@chalo.com?

### 5/5 — Important Information

*2025-08-21*

for KSRTC Travel Card Users (Chalo App)

When you add funds to your KSRTC Travel Card through the Chalo App, please note:
	•	The added amount will not reflect immediately on your travel card.
	•	Your new balance will be updated only after the bus conductor verifies and confirms the status during your journey.
	•	The conductor will check the update and sync the added funds to your travel card.

This is the correct procedure. If you notice that money has been debited from your bank but not showing in your card balance, please don’t worry. The balance will be updated once confirmed by the conductor.

I am sharing this based on my own experience so that other users are aware and don’t get confused.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this :)

### 1/5 — Request to Improve Evening Bus Service from Bela Nivas to Patlipada

*2025-07-30*

I am a regular commuter on the Chalo bus service from Bela Nivas to Patlipada, using the 7:10 AM and 5:00 PM slots. I would like to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the 5:00 PM evening bus service over the past two weeks.

Despite boarding the bus at 5:00 PM, we have consistently been reaching Patlipada around 8:00 PM, which is extremely frustrating and inconvenient—especially when other services like Cityflow are able to reach by 6:30 PM.

The key issues seem to be:
	•	The Chalo bus halts at every stop, which significantly increases travel time.
	•	It does not take the Cadbury Junction flyover, resulting in being stuck in heavy traffic.
	•	Additional delays occur in the Powai area, further adding to the total commute time.

This common routing for all buses, without any express or fast-track options, is unfair and inefficient for daily commuters.

Suggested Solutions:
	1.	Introduce an express bus at 4:50 PM from the below-flyover bus stop, which skips unnecessary halts.
	2.	Keep a 5:00 PM limited-stop service that utilizes flyovers and reduces travel time.

These changes would greatly improve the experience and help commuters reach Patlipada by at least 6:30 PM.

I request you to kindly look into this matter and take necessary action to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the service.

**Developer response:** Hi Shraddha, we'll share this feedback with our team. Sorry to hear about your experience.

### 5/5 — Great Experience with Chalo Bus App

*2025-04-08*

I’ve been using the Chalo Bus App for my commute between Navi Mumbai and BKC, and it’s been a great experience. I don’t see myself switching to another service anytime soon.
The app is reliable, with very few cancellations and live tracking, which is super helpful. Plus, there are multiple time slots available for my route, so I can plan my day easily. The app itself is easy to use, too.
The buses are always clean, and the drivers are friendly and polite.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend Chalo to anyone looking for a convenient and reliable way to get around Mumbai.

**Developer response:** We're happy to hear that your experience on the Chalo Bus was enjoyable. Keep riding with us. Thanks
