Krakow News 2 June 2016: New stop name, AGH to open lab, special training field

“Basztowa LOT” “Stary Kleparz”

“Basztowa LOT” is no more. After LOT moved out of their long time offices on Basztowa weeks ago, debate has broken out online on whether or not the eponymous public transport stop should keep its name or be renamed. After an online poll it was decided that the name of the stop would become “Stary Kleparz”. While the exact date of the name change is still unknown, ZIKiT is glad that the change came after a 75% majority of the online votes chose to name the stop after Stary Kleparz. [LoveKrakow]
