Which is better and why, a Scania multi-axle or a Volvo multi-axle?

Any day Volvo — in my 16 years of long distance travel exp !! (since air bus came in to Indian market in 1999–2000). First travel on Volvo was Bangalore — Mumbai in 2003. From that day to now, nothing to beat Volvo ! I’ve even had continuous 21 hours travel in Volvo and went directly to work for the next 12 hours at work, another time I had 22 hours and went to help out a family wedding for the next 9 hours !!

Recently tried Scania 4 times — vibration is high and neck shake is high to extends once on recent Hyderabad — Mumbai trip, I got a neck pain in the night & had to apply pain killer spray from the first aid kit I carry (I was sitting over the back axle, and I think this is due to the one set of back tires that can turn to give bus the turning radius) and hence vibration and shake is high & with the speed the bus traveled my head was going side to side. Later I learned that Scania is operator friendly, than traveler friendly — so I stopped opting for Scania bus operators.

I rank Volvo first (9/10) — comfort, safety & speed, next a good Leyland AC Air Bus operated “by a good operator” / ISUZU bus equal to Scania (6/10 — other than for extra speed Scania has) — especially for a night travel of 7 to 8 hrs to a smaller city which does not have express highway (if the travel is through express highway, then Scania’s speed comes in to play — can make you reach faster by 2 to 3 hours vs Leyland bus) then finally Mercedes Benz Bus (4/10) — speed is comparable, but comfort is horrible (I have not used a Mercedes sleeper — can be slightly better).
