With line 34 it depends a great deal on which service it is — whether it runs to/from the morning, afternoon or night shift. The service for the morning shift still travels through a fairly calm city that is only just waking up; for the afternoon shift it travels through a fairly active city preparing for the afternoon peak; and finally for the night shift the city is calm again. The last-named can be seen in the following footage from summer.
On the way back it matters exactly the same. If we are coming from the night shift, the city is already becoming fairly active, but still quite passable. The worst is the journey from the morning shift during the beginning of the afternoon peak. Jams in the industrial zone area, in the viaduct area, then in the Růžodol and Pavlovice areas and finally the centre — all this can create a delay of tens of minutes. The journey from the afternoon shift, by contrast, is a ride through an almost dead city. In the footage we see the most demanding service, which could rather be called 'an ordeal'. It was filmed during the Friday afternoon peak, when the situation tends to be at its worst. The resulting delay of the service was 19 minutes, but it must be said that the passage through the viaduct, Růžodol and the centre was still quite good. The service runs along a long-term diversion that avoids the road no. 35 through route.
