RedBus Company History & Founding Story

RedBus was founded in 2006 by Phanindra Sama, Sudhakar Pasupunuri and Charan Padmaraju, engineers from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science who also worked together at various organizations before founding the company, starting operations with an initial investment of ₹500,000.

The inspiration for RedBus came from a personal frustration. The seed of RedBus success story was sown when Phanindra Sama was trying to travel from Bangalore to Hyderabad for Diwali vacation in 2005 and could not get a bus ticket to travel to his hometown. He approached nine bus operators trying to procure one ticket but couldn’t get a single ticket, and was finally forced to stay behind in Bangalore.

Phanindra Sama then thought to build software for ticket booking, envisioning the need in the market for an online bus ticket-buying platform, and subsequently began executing his idea. They started in August 2006 with only one operator, 5 seats, and 5 lakh rupees—the RedBus startup story brought a revolution in the bus industry when they built a website named redbus.in.

Funding Journey:
In 2007, RedBus received its first round of funding of $1 million from SeedFund and undisclosed investors, with SeedFund investing $500,000 and other investors accounting for the remaining $500,000. The company raised $2.5 million in 2009 from Inventus Capital Partners, Seed Fund and other investors, followed by another $6.5 million in 2011 from Helion Venture Partners, Seedfund and Inventus Capital.

In 2013, RedBus was acquired by Ibibo Group, a subsidiary of South Africa’s Naspers, and in 2017, the Ibibo Group was acquired by MakeMyTrip.

RedBus Refund & Cancellation Policy

RedBus follows a structured cancellation and refund policy that varies based on timing and circumstances. If you cancel your ticket at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure time, you will generally be eligible for a full refund. If you cancel less than 48 hours before departure, you may still be eligible for a partial refund, but the amount depends on the cancellation policy of the specific bus operator.

RedBus provides a 100% refund if the bus is missed due to either RedBus or its partner company’s fault, however, if the bus is missed due to any other reason not directly related to RedBus, no refund is provided, with refunds following their standard cancellation policy. Customers are entitled to a 100% refund of ticket fare if the cancellation is attributable to either RedBus or the bus operator, but customers are not entitled to refunds for cancellation for any other reasons.

Cancellation Process:
Go to the RedBus website or app, sign in to your account, click “My Trips” in the top menu, select the ticket you want to cancel, click “Cancel Ticket,” then follow the prompts to confirm cancellation and get a refund if applicable.

Refunds can be credited to the source of payment (such as UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking) or credited to the RedBus wallet. The availability of a refund and cancellation fee depends on the bus operator’s policy and timing of cancellation—it’s recommended to check the cancellation policy before cancelling.

FAQs About RedBus Coupon Codes

Can I use RedBus coupon codes more than once? +

Most RedBus promotional codes are designed for single use per customer account or mobile number. Offer is applicable once per customer email or mobile number. However, the platform regularly releases new codes, so you can always find fresh savings opportunities for future bookings.

Are RedBus coupons valid on all routes? +

Coupon validity depends on the specific promotion and participating bus operators. Some codes work nationwide, while others are restricted to specific routes or regions. For example, GRABRB500 is applicable on Delhi, Rest of North, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan Routes, while other offers apply specifically to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Routes. Always read the terms and conditions before applying any code.

What if my coupon doesn’t work? +

If a RedBus coupon code isn’t working, check these common issues:

• Verify the code spelling and ensure there are no extra spaces
• Confirm the code hasn’t expired
• Check if your booking meets the minimum purchase requirements
• Ensure your route is covered by the promotion
• Try a different payment method if the code is payment-specific

Ensure that the coupon is valid, hasn’t expired, and is applicable to your route or bus operator. If issues persist, try another code or reach out to RedBus support.

Can I use first-time user coupons more than once? +

No, first-time user coupon codes are strictly one-time use per account. The code is linked to your mobile number, email ID, or device. Once you complete your first booking with a new user code, you won’t be able to use it again—even if you create a new account with the same details.

Workaround: After your first booking, look for regular user promo codes, bank offers, or wallet cashback deals for future journeys.

Are these offers valid on all bus routes across India? +

Most first-time user offers work on the majority of bus routes, but there are some exceptions:

• Usually Excluded: Government-operated buses (APSRTC, KSRTC, RSRTC, UPSRTC, etc.), some premium or luxury bus services, international routes (if applicable).
• Always Included: Private bus operators, inter-city and inter-state routes, sleeper and seater buses.

💡 Tip: The coupon application page will show “Coupon not applicable for this route” if your selected bus doesn’t qualify. Simply try a different code or choose an alternate bus operator.

Do RedBus first-time offers work on both the website and app? +

Yes, most first-time user codes work on both platforms. However:

• App-exclusive offers: Some codes specifically mention “App Only” and won’t work on the website.
• App users often get extra benefits: Additional ₹ amount off compared to website bookings.
• Website codes: Rarely, some codes are web-only (usually clearly mentioned).

Recommendation: Check offers on both platforms before booking. The app usually displays all available coupons automatically, making it easier to compare.

What should I do if my coupon code doesn’t work? +

If you’re having trouble applying a coupon, try these troubleshooting steps:

• “Invalid Coupon Code” Error: Double-check spelling and avoid extra spaces; ensure the code hasn’t expired; verify you’re a new user.
• “Coupon Not Applicable for This Route”: Try a different bus operator or route; government buses are often excluded.
• “Minimum Booking Amount Not Met”: Increase booking value or add insurance to meet the minimum.
• “Already Used” Message: You may have used the code earlier. Try a different one.

Still Not Working? Contact RedBus customer support or use live chat in the app.

Can I combine multiple coupon codes on one booking? +

No, RedBus allows only one promo code per booking. You cannot stack multiple coupon codes together.

However, you can combine:

• One promo code + Bank offer
• One promo code + Wallet cashback
• One promo code + Referral discount (in some cases)

Strategy: Compare all available offers and choose the one that gives maximum discount for your booking amount.

Will I get a refund if my coupon discount is not applied correctly? +

If you’ve completed payment without the discount being applied:

• Don’t cancel the booking immediately.
• Contact RedBus customer support within 24 hours.
• Provide: Booking ID, coupon code used, and screenshots if possible.

RedBus usually credits the difference to your wallet within a few business days.

Tip: Always verify the discount before clicking “Pay Now.”

Do I need to create an account to use first-time user codes? +

Yes, you must create a RedBus account (sign up) to qualify as a first-time user. Guest checkout doesn’t qualify for new user offers.

How to Sign Up: Via mobile number (OTP), email/password, or Google/Facebook login.

Your first-time user status is tracked through your account, so sign-up is mandatory.

What happens to my discount if I cancel my booking? +

If you cancel your first RedBus booking:

• The discount is forfeited (not refunded).
• Your first-time user coupon is consumed (cannot be reused).

Example: If your ticket cost ₹1,000 and you got ₹150 off, you’ll be refunded ₹850 minus cancellation fees.

⚠️ Important: Make sure of your travel plans before using your one-time discount!

How long are first-time user offers valid? +

Validity varies by offer:

• Ongoing offers: No specific end date, but can be withdrawn anytime.
• Limited period: Usually 30–90 days.
• Festival/seasonal: Valid during specific occasions (Diwali, New Year, etc.).
