I am rather alarmed at Kevin Scott's comment "There is no public transport available into Lewes from many nearby towns so a lot of commuters have to come by car" (The Argus, August 11).

This nonsense is a typical unfounded criticism of public transport.

In fact, between Lewes and Brighton there are three trains and four buses an hour. Newhaven, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill also have train and bus services, Ringmer buses. Uckfield buses and there are two trains an hour to Eastbourne and Polegate.
