Review of Island Travels

MISERABLE EXPERIENCE

MISERABLE EXPERIENCE

We had booked ourselves on 1st Oct to Goa from Bangalore. Our ordeal was as below :
1) They sent a Bus by the name "Rakesh Travels"
2) Instead of 8.30 pm it began on 9.30 pm
3) There was only a single driver who was visibly over worked, we also found out that this "Only Driver" had driven a bus 5 months back, he was a TT driver.
4) He took couple of Sleep Breaks of 30 mins to avoid any mishaps - Thoughtful of him.
5) But he did commit one accident near Hubli by bumping into a VRL Bus Damaging the VRL vehicle badly.
6) The bus crumbled near Ghat section at Yellapur and hot smoke started to come out of the front tires, leaving us in a fear of fire.
7) More than 40 mins on the Goa Border checking
8) In all, the journey which should have taken 13 to 14 hours with Breaks, took us 24 hours.
Over it the Office (Island Travels) bearer didn't take any responsibility and hung-up wishing us "Happy Journey".
Do not book on ISLAND Travels, not even if its the END of the World and this is the last available Bus service.
