Bus No. 723 runs from 5:30 to 23:00 with an interval of 8 to 20 minutes - depending on the time of day. However, actual waiting times may vary due to traffic conditions. We analyzed data from transport trackers over the past 3 months and identified optimal times for travelwhen the risk of delays is minimal.
The most problematic sections of the route are intersection of Lesnaya and Central streets (congestion at 7:30–9:00 and 17:00–19:00) and bridge across the river near the Naberezhnaya stop (repair work until autumn 2026). If you need to get there quickly, avoid these time intervals or use alternative routes (for example, trolleybus No. 5 on the section from Gagarin Square to the station).
- 🌅 Early morning (5:30–6:30): Interval 15–20 minutes, few passengers, no traffic jams. Ideal for those traveling on early trains.
- 🚗 Peak hours (7:00–9:30 and 16:30–19:00): Interval up to 25 minutes due to traffic jams. Buses arrive 10–15 minutes late.
- 🌃 Evening (20:00–22:30): Interval 12–15 minutes, passenger flow is moderate. After 22:30 buses run less frequently - once every 30 minutes.
