Bus communication between cities
Although a large distance separates the twothe largest Russian cities, bus service is well established between them. Of course, 3 flights a day - this, maybe, is not so much, but still with such a remoteness of the final points is quite enough.
First, let's talk about the departure of buses fromSt. Petersburg. The first flight leaves daily at 9 am from Konyushennaya Square and arrives in Kazan (railway station) at 12 noon (the next day). Total travel time with all stops is 27 hours. This is a direct flight, but there are more complex routes. For example, the bus, which leaves at 20:15 from the St. Petersburg bus station Obvodny, will stay on the road 39 hours and 40 minutes and arrive in the capital of Tatarstan every other day at 11.55. There is also a day trip, which leaves at 14:30 from the metro station "Elektrosila". On the way passengers of this bus will spend 42 and a half hours.
