£87.40 Lost? Customer Service Not Good - Eventually Resolved
£87.40 Lost — No Smartcard Issued, No Ticket Loaded, No Acknowledgement of complaint
I attempted to purchase a 28-day all-bus ticket (£87.40) from the Travel South Yorkshire kiosk at Arundel Gate, requesting a smartcard (which costs £1). Instead of issuing the smartcard, the machine printed a slip stating “Product Not Loaded.” No ticket was loaded, no smartcard was issued, and no refund was given.
I approached the nearby customer service booth, but the staff member was rude and dismissive. She told me my money would “probably” be refunded in 8–10 days and offered no receipt, reference, or assistance. She then ignored me and began working on the machine.
I called customer service and spoke with someone named Ryan, who insisted I return to the same booth. Despite explaining the situation, he refused to escalate or offer any real help.
To make matters worse, the online complaint form provides no confirmation or reference number, leaving me with no proof that I submitted anything.
I am still waiting for my refund and a proper resolution. If this is how Travel South Yorkshire treats its passengers, serious improvements are needed in customer service, accountability, and transparency. Please help connect to who can help.
Travel South Yorkshire has today, 8th August, 2025, reached out to me via one the Interchange Managers at Arundel Gate and all is resolved now. I thank Heather Roberts , the Customer Service Manager, for his empathetic response. I wish the company success in all its future dealings. Thank you.
