    I booked 6 people for a trip this Sunday a few weeks ago. I just realized on my invoice that not only was I charged for an extra person bvut a name I did not give the booking agen was used. When I called to get my refund for their mistake they said absolutely NO REFUND OR CANCELLATION several times . I explained I wanted neither but a refund for their mistake of overcharging me. They said absolutely not and to either sell the ticket or give it away. That is no way to treat a customer. THEY made the mistake. They should reimburse me for their mistake.

    We will respond to ****************, however, we would like BBB to know that our representative has spoken to him and he has emailed our office as well. We are currently working to resolve his issue with him. He did not give us enough time to work out his issue before filing a complaint.

     

    Thank you,

    On October 16, 2022, I purchased round trip tickets from New York, NY to Allentown-Bethelehem-Easton Airport, PA, leaving 7:00pm to PA on October 19, 2022, and returning 11:35am to NY on October 23, 2022. The returning bus was canceled without notice or refund, and the online ticket failed to load for myself and another passenger to take a different bus. The only other offering was a bus departing the same day at 11:55am at a stop 10 miles away (William Penn Hwy). Since our tickets would not load, we needed to purchase another set of tickets. When we arrived, the bus did not pick us and the other 20+ passengers up until 12:20pm, 25 minutes late without notice. The canceled set cost $101.70. The repurchased set cost $86.50. Transbridge operated using deceptive practices to lure passengers into purchasing, cancelling routes with no notice, and requiring passengers to travel, with cost, 10 miles from the original stop and purchase new tickets, for a bus that was 25 minutes late without notice or explanation. These deceptive practices are unlawful, and Transbridge has a legal obligation to refund me the entire cost of this trip, totaling $188.20.

    Dear *******,

    Trans-Bridge Lines apologizes for the cancellation of Run *** on Sunday, October 23, 2022.Our company is being challenged by a driver shortage in the bus and trucking industry, which is affecting our operations. This is the reason for the cancellation and is not a situation we wish to be in or take lightly.

    The cancellation of this run was communicated on Friday, October 21, via our website Alerts page, email to our customer database, social media posts on ****************** *********, and ********,and direct email to passengers booked for this route.

    Our Customer Service Department spoke with your mother, whose name and credit card the tickets were charged to. A full refund of $101.70 was credited back to her credit card on November 1, 2022.

    The request for refund was granted and we consider the matter resolved.
