With cutting-edge electric buses, Fresh Bus seeks to offer a cutting-edge substitute for an easy, economical, and environmentally friendly interstate bus travel experience in India. A 12 m luxury coach with more than 45 seats, the newly introduced Fresh Bus is available now. A special introductory pricing of Rs 399 per ticket is being offered for Fresh Bus services on the Bengaluru-Tirupati route right now. Later this month, the business will also start offering its services on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada route. Fresh Bus can go up to 400 km at a top speed of 90 km per hour with a 0-100% charge completed in less than two hours. In order to provide intercity bus passengers in India with an in-cabin experience comparable to a luxury flight, Fresh Bus is also outfitted with a variety of cutting-edge amenities. With amenities like quiet, fully air-conditioned cabins, plush seats, courteous staff in uniform, best-in-class seat pitch, 45° seat recline, real-time air quality and temperature monitoring enabled by the Internet of Things, amenity kits, personal charging docks, Wi-Fi, real-time tracking, and more, the smart buses aim to improve the bus travel experience.
Speaking on the Fresh Bus experience and the company’s expansion plans, Sudhakar Reddy Chirra, Founder of Fresh Bus, said, “Fresh Bus will focus on premium quality and customer experience to make bus travel an elevated travel experience for all. We are initially launching 24 electric buses this month across Bengaluru-Tirupati and Hyderabad-Vijayawada. In the next phase, we will start services on the top 100 routes across India, covering routes from/to Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Goa, Pune and more. By the end of 2026, we expect to scale to 1000+ electric buses, set up 100+ charging stations pan-India and save over 4000 hectares of the forest!”
