Under the Best Captain Award programme, drivers will receive rewards according to their performance scores. The company has introduced three reward categories:
-
100 points: ₹1 lakh reward
-
85 to 99 points: ₹75,000 reward
-
70 to 84 points: ₹50,000 reward
There is no fixed limit on the number of winners. Every captain who qualifies for a particular category will receive the corresponding reward. This means the total payout could cross ₹5 crore annually.
Focus on Driving Safety and Fleet Care
The programme is designed to make driving safety an important part of daily operations. The evaluation will use documented records and verified data to maintain transparency and consistency.
Apart from monetary rewards, selected drivers will also receive certificates and recognition on depot notice boards. Fresh Bus said that several captains associated with the company since 2023 have already demonstrated strong driving practices and achieved perfect safety scores.

Fresh Bus Management Highlights Driver Contribution
Sudhakar Chirra, Founder and CEO of Fresh Bus, said that safety has always been central to the company's operations. He highlighted the responsibility carried by drivers, as thousands of passengers depend on them for safe journeys. The company believes that recognising good driving behaviour can encourage drivers to maintain safety standards and take better care of their vehicles.
Growing Role of Electric Buses in Intercity Travel
Fresh Bus operates an intercity fleet of buses and focuses on electric passenger transportation. Its driver recognition programme is particularly relevant as the company expands its operations and manages more passenger journeys.
The company is also part of the growing electric buses market in India. As electric intercity services expand, trained drivers, safe driving practices and proper fleet management will remain important for reliable passenger transportation. The Best Captain Award is an effort to recognise the people behind these operations and encourage a stronger safety culture across the company's fleet.
