As a regular bus user, I was furious to see Sheila Holden's statement about Brighton and Hove Council's grant cut to bus services (Argus, July 13).

She obviously does not have a clue about people who have to use buses all the time. How does she expect to encourage more people onto main routes?

I was shocked someone in the post of assistant environment director could be so keen on deterring people from using public transport. The council seems intent on supporting new park and ride facilities for car owners while ordinary bus users take second place.
