Like anybody i was also attracted by the ad of Raj National Express.

Mumbai-Pune@Rs.99 was pretty cool where other bus services charge around Rs.180 to 250.When i called up just 2 enquire i found
that ill get this ticket @Rs.103 inclusive of taxes,still its not bad.But realiztion landed on me when i called 2 book a ticket after few days i was told.the Rs.99 ticket is no more available n now ill get a Rs149 ticket i.e Rs 155 with taxes.i was told its not necessary that ill get a Rs99 ticket anytime coz they have only 2 to 4 seats which they give at Rs99.

Secondly the pick up n drop locations are very limited in mumbai n pune which is not with other bus services even if its on their route.In pune they stop only in central pune so 1 has 2 spend extra on auto 2 reach your destination.Since i had 2 go get down just where we enter pune in the IT park area,i would land up payin Rs.100-150 on auto from central pune.
So Rs155(of ticket)+Rs 100/150(in pune) +Rs.50(in mumbai)=Rs.305/355

Ultimately ill land up payin more than any other bus which will pick n drop at my plc of convinence.

Also once u book a ticket theres no scope for cancellation or any refund.

I was lucky enough coz i did all this research before booking a ticket, n dint fall in this trap.i finally took a Rs 180 ticket n spent nothin over it 2 reach my destination

So just be clear about all this before u book any ticket with Raj Travels.

We shouldnt be fooled like this,its very cheap on their part.They think its a good marketing sratergy but not 4 all.

Be smart n look beyond ad gimmiks is my advice.

Enjoy life!!!!!!
