Love is everywhere around

“Love is all around” ❤️ With this motto, a special bus – the Valentine's Express – set off on the streets of Banská Bystrica in the early morning hours of February 14, 2023. Its goal was to make traveling during Valentine's Day more enjoyable for everyone who boarded it. The bus also served as a unique photo wall so that passengers could take photos in and with it as a souvenir. A truly unique day dawned in the city below Urpín. In the afternoon, acting students from FDU, Júlia Miciková, Júlia Šidlovská, Soňa Tuchyňová, Filip Ďuriš, Marián Hric, Benjamín Ogurčák, Martin Rafaj and Dávid Szöke, also boarded the Valentine's Express. They prepared a programme for passengers, which made the journey more enjoyable for about 3 hours for everyone who boarded line no. 22. They brought a smile to many people's faces, made their day more enjoyable, and even sang along with many 🎶. We thank all the passengers for their kind reactions and positive feedback. Our students and SAD Zvolen collaborated on the event for the second time this year. Thanks to social networks, people in different countries learned about last year's pilot year, and the transport company even received feedback from the city of Tallinn via email: "This year, the Jazzkaar jazz festival was supposed to be held in the Estonian capital of Tallinn! Since the pandemic was not yet in retreat in March, we had all the concert halls closed and there was a real threat that this event would not take place. However, in February, your transport company's act received worldwide acclaim when you gave a concert on Valentine's Day in city transport buses. We watched your videos and saw the journey in them! We tried it in April. In Tallinn, live jazz music was mainly played on public transport. Our passengers became part of the project in the Tallinn Linnatransport urban space and part of the Jazzkaar musical surprises . We really succeeded in this. Thank you again for the idea." We are glad that we were able to inspire. We are glad that we were once again part of this pleasant and cheerful event in the city of Banská Bystrica on Valentine's Day this year. 🎥: Noémi Galajdová
