''Went there and actually bus 807 doesn't exist. If you look on the link there are no traces of this bus on the city's public transport website. If you want to go to Osowa, you need to take a special train that goes from Wrzeszcz station. Click on the link above to find the best connection from the point you are leaving. Didn't try it myself but might be a good option to leave the town.''
