Liberec Routes

School line 59 is currently the only line on which the standard fare does not apply; it serves exclusively the transport of pupils of the Vratislavice nad Nisou primary school. It has a two-loop character, and its task is the morning collection and afternoon distribution of pupils across the surrounding, less accessible locations.

Line 59 is so far the most recently introduced school line. Its operation began with the 2010/2011 school year. Its creation was initiated by the Vratislavice nad Nisou district in cooperation with ZŠ Vratislavice. Since 2011 only the low-capacity vehicle SKD Stratos LE 37 has run on it. It is the only line where schoolchildren have to show a school pass when boarding.

Line 59 has a special standing in the transit network and the fare system, it has its own special vehicle, and it is no different among drivers. Only a few drivers who run it regularly know the line. The others, with rare exceptions, never see it, because it is not part of the ordinary shifts. Instead of a bus it is operated essentially by a modified van. This is because of the narrow lanes in the Vratislavice hills and the even narrower underpasses beneath the railway. As one of the few lines, it does not serve the Fügnerova terminal. The route itself, however, offers interesting views of Vratislavice and, in places, over the hill to Vesec. It passes through now denser, now sparser development of mostly new houses and villas that have been built over the past decades and are still being built. Judge for yourself in the following footage, filmed how else but with an SKD Iveco Stratos #384.
