New Delhi: redBus, the online bus ticketing platform, felicitated winners of the redBus People’s Choice Awards at the Bharat Prawaas Awards 2025, organised by the Bus and Car Operators Confederation of India (BOCI) at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The ceremony was attended by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Highways, as Guest of Honour.
The redBus People’s Choice Awards brought a unique dimension to the Prawaas stage by giving passengers a direct voice in recognising the operators they trust most. In August, redBus conducted a nationwide poll on its platform, drawing over one lakh votes from travellers who chose their favourite bus operators across categories such as punctuality, service quality, and overall travel experience.
At the ceremony, a total of 19 awards were presented across multiple categories, including Best State Road Transport Corporations, Best Zonal Private Operators (North, South, East and West), Best National Operator, and the redBus Rising Star Awards for emerging operators, setting new benchmarks in punctuality, service, and growth.
Some of the key winners are:
- Favourite Bus Operator pan India: Shyamoli Paribahan Pvt Ltd
- Best Zonal Operators (Large category):
- North – Ram Dalal Holidays Pvt. Ltd.
- South – National Travels CHN
- East – Express Line
- West – Raj Ratan Tours And Travels
redBus also recognised new and upcoming operators, presenting them with Rising Star Awards for exceptional customer service and impressive growth
“The People’s Choice Awards by redBus are special because they capture the voice of the traveller. This recognition is about more than celebrating operators—it’s about showcasing the trust and confidence passengers place in them every day. We are proud to have introduced this public-driven recognition to Bharat Prawaas 2025, aligned to the larger goal of making mobility safe, smart, and sustainable.” said Prakash Sangam, CEO of redBus.
These awards also recognised some of the best State Transport Units in the country – Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, West Bengal Transport Corporation and Chandigarh Transport Undertaking.
Since the awards’ inception in 2017, redBus has been associated with the Prawaas platform. With Bharat Prawaas Awards evolving into an annual award-only format, the introduction of the People’s Choice Awards has set a precedent in placing passengers at the heart of recognising excellence in bus transport.
