Very bad experience
Recently travelled on Dec Dec 17 with VRL from Mysore to Udupi . The rest stops were in completely open areas with no proper facilities or privacy. It’s very uncomfortable and concerning, especially for women. How are ladies expected to get down and use restrooms in such open places? This shows a serious lack of planning and concern for passenger dignity and safety.
On top of this, only one person was handling both driving and passenger checks. This is highly unprofessional and unsafe. A driver should focus only on driving, not managing passengers at the same time. Overall, the service standards are very poor. I would not recommend VRL Travels unless they significantly improve safety, staffing, and basic passenger facilities.

Lack of hygiene and dignity
I recently traveled with VRL and was generally okay with the vehicle, but I was absolutely appalled by their "rest stop" policy. VRL still stops the bus in open areas/roadsides for passengers to relieve themselves.
The driver actually stopped the bus in the middle of nowhere and announced that passengers should use the "front and back of the bus" for urination. It was extremely uncomfortable and humiliating, especially for the female passengers who were expected to manage in an open field.
There are plenty of decent fuel stations, hotels, and toll plazas with proper restrooms along the route. VRL Ignoring those facilities to save few minutes. VRL needs to respect basic hygiene and the dignity of women.

Rude and unpunctual
Bus was delayed and when called to ask for timeline the response was rude and misbehaved. Additionally used inappropriate words in the conversation. I have heard something similar from family and friends that lately this is increasing and the management seems to be not actively working on this. The support number is also not easily accessible neither to raise complaint nor to get support.

Delayed bus
I am writing to report that the MH12 WJ 4246 scheduled to arrive at 7.30 at Wani has not yet arrived. I have been waiting at the stop, and there has been no update or communication regarding the delay.
This situation is very inconvenient, as it affects not only my schedule but also that of other passengers who rely on timely service. Everyone’s time is valuable, and repeated delays reduce trust in the reliability of public transport.
I kindly request that you look into this issue and take steps to improve the punctuality and communication regarding delays.

Pathetic Service
Absolutely the worst experience with VRL bus service. My bus was scheduled at 8:15 PM and supposed to leave by 8:30 PM. Instead, the driver decided to stop for food and kept delaying, while customer care gave no support at all.
We were two women stranded alone at Gokarna bus stop from 8 PM to 10 PM with zero safety or security, while the driver casually said, “It’s just a little late.” This is completely unacceptable and irresponsible.
For a reputed company, this kind of behavior—no concern for passenger safety, no accountability, and no proper customer support—is shocking. I will never recommend VRL to anyone.

VRL Travels: Unprofessional, Chronically Delayed, and Terrible Customer Service
Worst service ever with VRL Travels. The bus was delayed by 2.5 hours with no proper communication. The driver stopped unnecessarily 4 times for tea breaks and even had an unplanned bus checkup, causing further delays. The driving was very poor and unsafe. The bus was extremely old, with many features like AC and reading lamps not working. The driver and staff were rude and unhelpful. Overall, VRL staff have no time management skills and can’t stick to the schedule they advertise on the ticket or booking portal. Very disappointing experience.

App needs improvement
Enforcing of app download for tracking of bus is not helping. The app does not load the map correctly, and each time I open the app I need to start all over again by entering the PNR number and then track the bus. Also my ongoing bus travel is shows as “Completed” instead of ongoing and no display of vehicle details etc.

Worst journey experience
I recently traveled on this VRL travels bus, they mentioned their website reaching time is 7:15AM but the bus reached 9:30AM, almost 2 hour 15 minutes late, it’s very unprofessional they should mention the correct time then according to that we will plan our work. And pick up time they didn’t called and when I called them they are telling that wait at boarding point in that point and no rest area nothing and heavy rain also. I traveled many of the buses this is the worst journey. Almost 2 hours delay means it will affect to the full day schedule. Some times we can’t reschedule the work also.

Highly Unreliable Service – Repeated Delays and Unprofessional Staff
VRL Travels has become highly unreliable, with almost every trip running over 2 hours late and no proper communication or accountability from the staff. The reasons given are often false, and the drivers and support staff are rude and unresponsive to genuine queries. Such unprofessional behavior and consistent delays make it a frustrating experience for passengers. I strongly urge others to avoid VRL Travels until they take serious steps to improve their punctuality and customer service.

Standard Breaks
VRL should define a standard stops at a good hotel at least in a 2 to 3 hr interval.
When travelling with elderly people it is very tough to address their rest room needs.
Drivers are not sure where to stop. While coming back from Kollur to Bangalore , we faced this issue . Driver didn’t give proper stops, he stopped at sakaleshpur ksrtc bus stand finally, there rest rooms were completely bad.
Overall journey experience will turnout to be bad though bus is good, drivers are good, etc….

Boarding pick point issue
I have booked tickets as per VRL boarding point but when I reached the boarding point before 20 minutes then the staff told bus is late and due to that bus will not come here. Even bus cross our pickup point and there is not any traffic but he picked up with other bus then shifted to our original bus. At dropping point. Before the point bus stopped due to some technical issue and we hired cab and reached to our destination

Extremely disappointed with the maintainability of buses they provide due to which we have to struggle and waste so much of time .... i had 2 journey from Bangalore to Shirdi:
Driver found some issue with the bus near nelmangla somewhere even after asking multiple times also bewr tumkur, the driver he denied to change the bus
Somehow after overnight travel we could only reach Solapur .. there finally BRAKES GOT FAIL..
After that in morning we called manager he was very rude and we had to travel ~25 hrs of total journey … instead of 19-20 hrs
just because of pure ignorance in maintaince of buses you have

Arrogant and thadki staff
I recently travel to Hospet from Borivali, driver was so arrogant he kept AC to 22 also he is not willing to wait for 5 minutes in Borivali stop even though bus was early by 15 minutes. So much bad attitude I hate VRL staff they need proper training, Also observe driver keep on checking some women’s seat unnecessary showing concern to check all passengers are onboarded which is so pathetic, vrl is not safe for single women travellers. Those horny kandadies might do anything with single women

Extremely Disappointed - False commitment on travel time
I recently booked a trip through Vijayanand Travels, and I must say, the experience was far from what was promised. One of the main reasons I chose this company was their assurance of a specific travel duration. They committed to a journey time of 11 hours, which seemed reasonable and fit perfectly into my plans.
However, the actual travel time ended up being significantly longer – nearly 15 hours. There was no prior communication about potential delays, route changes, or extended stops. This not only screw off my entire schedule but also caused me to miss an important event at my destination.
I reached out to their customer service, but the response was generic and lacked any genuine acknowledgment of their false commitment. It felt like they were more interested in making a sale than delivering a reliable experience.
Travel companies should understand that people plan around the schedules they provide. Misleading customers with incorrect travel times is unacceptable. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve their transparency and communication.
Would not recommend unless they make serious changes.

Very worst experience do not travel
I had a very bad experience. The bus is very late, the pickup is half an hour late and the live tracker is not working. The bus was standing for 2 hours in Kolhapur, no one gave any information, their help desk is also not working, I called the helpline 3-4 times but it did not connect. The call was connected for an hour, but after saying OK, I will check, then they cut the call and then there was no reply. Pune's timing is 9.30 and it is 11 am, but I am still in Satara 😡😡😡.

Rude drivers and un comfort seats even of volvo’s and double fare
I was fan of Vrl because of its service. Recently they have new buses from pune to nagpur route. All buses are not good. Even the volvo’s seats are very uncomfortable. Not of good length. No proper stop for females to get washroom, nor the food is good where they take stop. Why the such cheap hotel like tandoori you have chosen. You are taking Rs 2200/ from one side and offering the bad food, bad washroom. Rude manners of driver as they behaved like the owner as like providing complementary services. Improve your service.
