7,770 claims were paid out to travellers who had experienced disruption between April and May.
Delayed trains have cost ScotRail more than £100,000 in repayments since the service was nationalised in April, figures from the Scottish Liberal Democrats show.
However a separate dispute over pay, jobs and conditions with Network Rail has caused 40,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union to strike, resulting in significant further disruption for travellers. "Commuters and rail users need a service that they can rely on if we are to tempt people out of private cars.
"We know how much of an inconvenience it is to customers when things don't go to plan, and it is only right that they are compensated when that happens. A Transport Scotland spokesman said: "When a service is cancelled or delayed passengers are fully entitled to apply for a refund under the ScotRail Delay Repay guarantee and the Scottish Government continues to support this.
