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?
In: Engineering
A bus has a huge mass. This means it takes a larger force to accelerate or bump it. Given a pothole of a certain size, a bus has a lot more mass to dampen the bump you feel than your compact car has.
