Why are some vehicles (primarily buses) way “smoother” than others?

The question is in the title. I’m aware that this may depend on the driver and how sudden the acceleration/retardation is, but certain luxury buses are for instance way smoother and softer than other. Obviously, this depends on the cost and quality of the engine. But what exactly makes it smooth?

It comes down to its suspension and tires. I remember back in the day Mercedes was one of the first with the air suspension trend which resulted in more comfortable rides
