Poland's controversial 'Highway to Hel' 666 bus revived
Coach operator FlixBus has announced the return of the 666 bus service to the Polish seaside resort of Hel.
It resurrects the controversial so-called "Highway to Hel" bus journey formerly run by local company PKS Gdynia.
Religious conservative groups fiercely opposed the "satanic" association of 666 with Hel, so in 2023 the number was changed to 669.
...
One Polish religious group had accused the bus company of "spreading satanism".
