GBScam company with dishonest business practices My daughter and her friend had booked Red Coach from Austin to UT Dallas, the coach leaving at 6.30pm CST. yesterday 2/18/24. Downtown Austin at 5th and 6th Street roads were blocked off by police. Another friend on the bus spoke to the driver asking them to wait one more minute as the roads were blocked off in Austin which caused a slight delay to where the bus was leaving from. The driver said he would wait one more minute and did not. We drove from Cedar Park to downtown Austin. We literally saw the bus leave 40 feet from our car. This is absolutely appalling and really unprofessional behavior from the driver. I had to drive all the way to Dallas and back from Austin because the driver did not wait one extra minute despite stating that he would and caused us an incredible amount of inconvenience. Red Coach is a scam and dishonest company and refused us a refund, recommend you stay well away they’ll take your money and not honor their agreement!

GBBait Switch and late First trip - Houston to Austin roundtrip. Left 30 min late, but no advance notice of delay. Paid/book Biz class and bait switch to "economy bus" It happened both ways. Redbus is no different from megabus/Flix/etc. Greyhound is more comfortable seating... I tracked several trips after mine, and a high percentage of times departure is late. Bus swaps are also way too common. Like megabuses $1 promotion....it is a marketing gimmick to attract new clients. There will be fewer and fewer of their luxury experience...to 0. This company claims to be Volane but is flix. However the WiFi was stable and fast enough for email and web. It was the best of all carriers.. except Volane

GBEasy way to travel through Texas The first bus ride I went on (Dallas to Houston), the AC was broken and it was miserably hot. However, the driver ensured we stop for water at one point. I also later complained to RedCoach and they offered a small voucher for my next ride which I later used to travel again. Customer service was a little hard to continue contacting but overall I've had a good experience! The bus rides are typically smooth and if you don't mind dirty bathrooms, highly recommend!

GBThe bus driver arrived around 20… The bus driver arrived around 20 minutes late, and was rude and unprofessional. The bathroom was broken, and the entire bus smelled like poop. Several times, the driver slammed on the breaks, almost hitting several cars (each time was due to her speeding in heavily trafficked areas). Overall, one of the most miserable experiences of my life, and I will never use this service again.

GBI would give this negative stars if I… I would give this negative stars if I could. My partner bought me a ticket from Austin to Dallas and from the moment we arrived, everyone on that bus was treated horribly! The driver was the most rude person I have ever met in my life, yelling at everyone regarding their bags and everything else under the sun. This one man came on last minute and the driver yelled at him to show him his ticket right away. The guy said “please stop yelling at me” and the driver opened the doors to the bus and said “take your bags and get off!!!” It gets even worse. I was sitting rigt behind the driver adjacent to him. Once we started driving, he began FaceTiming a group of people/friends!!! He had one hand on the wheel and sometimes none. I have a video of evidence of this but unfortunately I can’t put any attachments on here. He was swerving in and out of lanes and honking at all of the cars. Serious road rage. I told him I had to get off because I was having an anxiety attack and was about to throw up. He said that he doesn’t stop the bus and I began hyperventilating so he stopped and let me off at a gas station 30 min from departure. Oh yeah, and Not to mention, the website shows business class and luxury seating, seats that recline, have charging cables, and are black. The bus looked absolutely nothing like it, it was a scam from the start!! Please please stay away from this bus. I never write reviews but this experience absolutely flabbergasted me and put me and everyone else on that bus in such danger.
