Mrs Mower need not resort to her car for her journey to Hove while the language students are with us (Letters, August 5).

We are running extra buses from the Holmbush Centre on Service 2 at 7.56am and 8.16am, running through Southwick to supplement the regular buses at these times.

Checks show seats are available to everyone wanting to travel.

The problem with Mrs Mower's suggestion of residents-only buses during the summer is their illegality through being discriminatory.

We are working hard to provide extra journeys to cater for the many visitors to the city but I appreciate regular passengers are experiencing fuller buses than normal.
