Poland’s seaside resort town of Hel is bringing back a bus service marketed as the “Highway to Hel” 666 route, according to multiple reports. The service previously drew controversy, with Christian groups and religious organizations objecting to the route’s “666” branding and accusing the operator of “spreading satanism.” Despite that earlier opposition, the bus route is set to return to service, restoring the connection between Hel and surrounding areas along the route used for the “666” branding. The reports describe the revival as a comeback of a previously contested line rather than a change in its core concept, which relies on the town name “Hel” combined with the number “666.” No details are provided in the excerpts about timing beyond a planned return, nor about any changes to the operator or route structure. The renewed service highlights ongoing public debate in Poland over religious sensitivity and commercial or promotional use of symbols considered offensive by some groups.
