Olivea Volvo Bus review : fare and timings
Olivea did something that was bound to happen in the world of high end luxury Volvo buses in India. They rolled out an unique and new concept in this segment and choose to have the Volvo multi-axle buses as the best product for the new project.
Olivea Volvo buses can be considered as the best, most high-end and most luxurious way of traveling by buses in India, something that can easily match up to high end luxury cars and much better than flying, at a fraction of a cost. 
Here are a few pointers on how the Olivea Volvo buses are different - a review of Olivea from our end
1. To start with, there are only 7 rows of seats in 2+1 configuration : this means extra knee and shoulder room
2. The buses are safe and secured with GPS enabled tracking system
3. The seats have 165 degree reclining with calf and lumbar support
4. Gourmet meals are offered in the bus. Also if the scheduled arrival in a city is early morning, you are given a small breakfast pack
5. There is wi-fi connectivity on board
6. The bus has individual 10 inch Plasma screens with pre loaded movies and LIVE channels
7. Olivea also offers check-in facility with lounge at 5 star hotels!
8. There is a washroom on board as well.
9. You are greeted with trained airline kind of hostess on board
10. You are simply pampered to the core.
11. There are no extra city or en-route stops which means the travel time is reduced considerably.
Olivea does charge a bomb for the services if you compare them with the conventional Volvo or Mercedes bus operators but a single glance on the 11 points above means they are well worth the extra dough!
