The “Road to Hel” 666 bus service renamed after protests about route spreading Satanism

The 666 bus route to Hel in Poland has been changed after complaints by religious groups. 

The service has moved away from 666 – the Devil’s symbol for evil – and now runs as the 669. 

Religious conservatives said the route number was “spreading Satanism”. 

In the Bible 666 is identified as the “number of the beast” and the decision for the route to be given 666 is down to the town’s name of Hel. 

However, following the complaints, bus company PKS Gdynia announced:  

“We are turning the last 6 upside down. 

“The number 669 was less controversial.” 

Social media commentator Krzysztof Nadolski wrote: 

“It was a worldwide advert. 

“I have often read about route 666 to Hel on foreign websites or Facebook groups.  

“I am convinced there were tourists who would have probably arrived faster by train, but for fun they took bus route 666.” 

Over the past few years, religious conservatives from one Polish group have complained that bus company PKS Gdynia is “spreading Satanism”. 

The newly changed route 669 runs in the summer along the Baltic Sea coast.
