Public transport ridership in Trenčín surged dramatically during the opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture 2026 program on February 14. The city's red buses carried 25,550 passengers that Saturday, nearly three times the typical weekend ridership of under 9,000 people, according to a city spokesperson. The massive increase in public transport usage reflects the significant turnout for the cultural event that marks Trenčín's role as one of Europe's designated cultural capitals for 2026.
