The town-owned transport company will likely restore the original route of bus line #53, connecting the 4,000-student dormitory at Palackého vrch with Brno. Town council wants the dormitory station back after 3,000+ students signed a petition and 3,360 Facebook fans cried for preserving the bus-stop “Kolejení”.

The station was cancelled few weeks ago to save approx. CZK 3,5M (€135k) yearly, although this decision made thousands of students, including expats, walk some 500 metres to the nearest stop even several times a day.

It was a pispoor clever step anyway – it made upset only the people who could not vote to the town council of Brno, as the dormitory is inhabited by students from other towns and countries.
