BBC News 24 reflected, rightly, the contribution to the comfort of local people by Roger French and the Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company in providing so many excellent new vehicles.
The footage showed some of them and interviewed several satisfied customers.
However, the news team gave the impression that free concessionary bus fares are available to pensioners. This is not the case, as many readers of The Argus know.
For the record, a 50 per cent discount on local buses is available to women over 60. As from next April, the same concession will apply to men.
We were also told cash-strapped local councils may offer concessionary bus fares to job-seekers or unemployed people instead of to older people, many of whom have paid into the benefits system for 40 years or more.
Does Brighton and Hove City Council's older people's council have a view on this remarkable idea for modernisation?
