Let's see about Asia's Longest Bus and Kerala's First Volvo Sleeper in this Post
Starting with Specifications:
Chassis Type: Volvo B11R I-Shift Multi Axle
Body Maker: SM Kanappa Celeste 42 Berth
Boarding Point: Porur Toll Gate
Dropping Point: Palakkad Bypass
Much excitement with the previous trip but to look over the comfort level booked in the Third Row from the Last Berth. The bus arrived at Porur Toll at 9:35PM but this time no intimation message from Raahath. Getting the call from crew member and he asked me to wait after the toll so that he can park aside safely the Asia's Longest Bus.
There arrives the Lengthy Swedish Beauty indicating light to left for picking me on spot. Same crews of the previous trip passengers started boarding from various points with tough to drive city traffic. Crossing Final Pickup point Perungulathur Cruising started with rains making it best combo for a Pluviophile and Bus Fan. First Dinner break in Hotel Aaryas Melmaruvathur for 15mins.

My berth being exactly on the top of tag axle wheel I didn't feel a single jerk suspension was awesome. Anyone who wishes to get a peaceful sleep like in our house can choose Celeste without any choice. Such is the NVH (Noise,Vibration and Harshness) and comfort during my trip.
Driving was constantly in 100s after Melmaruvarthur rains picked up the intensity but no slowing down proving the stability of Volvo Buses again. Bed, Blankets, Curtains were tidy and a 300ml water bottle was given. Cell Phone holder with both USB and Plug type was more than enough for a long run.

Professional driving with no unwanted honking or Zigzag cuts. Sound insulation was observed very less in Volvo with almost no body roll. Expected a Second Fuel break in Perundurai but this time it didn't happen. As Per my request, they stopped in Coimbatore Bypass Toll. Dropped in Palakkad at 5:30AM sharp-on time with no Coimbatore Bypass dropping.
Verdict: Choose Volvo for Supreme level comfort with some best crews another happy ride convenient ride from Raahath Transports.
Praiseworthy Aspects:
1) Passenger Friendly Crew members
2) Tidy and well-maintained interiors
3) Folded Blanket with Medium-sized Pillow
ShortComings:
1) Lack of Finishing work in Berths with sharp edges in some areas.
2) Entertainment system could've been fixed
