FlixBus revives Poland’s infamous Hel-bound 666 route for summer
TL;DR
FlixBus has launched a seasonal 666 line from Kraków to Hel via Warsaw and Gdańsk, reviving the famous route after its predecessor was renamed in response to objections. The daily service runs until the end of August, covering about 13.5 hours, and reflects strong summer travel demand and higher travel costs that are pushing Poles to holiday at home, with the branding viewed as a marketing move that elicited mixed reactions from Christian groups.
