We would like school buses to run for after school clubs from Warden Park secondary. The lack of buses in the dark/ cold / winter prevents my son from attending after school clubs

Having to buy a compass weekly bus pass for my Son to get from166 (Fox Hill) Hayward’s Heath to Warden park school. In the mornings there have been several times the bus hasn’t turned up. The return is one bus at 3.30

However there is no option getting back if he wants to do an after school club. A 166 compass bus at 4.15 pm from the school would be a welcome addition.

Why no buses from Warden Park after clubs at 4? How the children come back home if they are a regular buses users?

It would be great to offer buses for after school clubs, a 4.30pm collection. The majority of children do at least 2/3 after school clubs per week!

My daughter gets the Compass 587 bus from Bolney to Warden Park and back again. It's always late and sometimes doesn't turn up at all! We can't rely on it for exams which puts pressure on parents to get their children to school in time, especially those parents who are working. Her bus used to be run by Crawley Luxury which was just as bad, if not worse! In the past some of the drivers have been known to swear loudly which is unacceptable!

Having recently moved home we were told that we were not eligible for free school transport. We are a 2 minute drive from where the free bus pass would be able to be used. This means we have to pay just over £15 a week for the bus for our son. We were not prepared to change to the next nearest school as our son had already started his GCSE options and the other local schools couldn't guarantee he would be able to do the same ones if we changed to them. There isn't even an option for money off as there is for people who live 2 minutes away.
Whilst the bus is generally on time, sometimes it comes through the village early so our son has to get to the bus stop over 10 minutes early to be sure he doesn't miss it if it does go past early. Fine in the summer but in the wet and windy weather it is far from ideal!

As a parent of children from Balcombe who attend Warden Park school I would like more frequent busses to run at the end of the school day. There are 2 buses in the morning and 2 after school but none any later. Lots of our children attend clubs and it is a constant worry to try and pick children up at the end of the day for working parents. Some simply miss out on clubs for lack of a lift. There needs to be be a bus that goes at 4.10 at least, but I would suggest also one that goes at 4.40 as there are several finish times of clubs at Warden park.

Could we have more busses that stop at Steyning please? Particularly Steyning to Shoreham - there’s only one per hour. It currently takes 1hr 10 mins to get into Brighton on a bus, that is only every hour which is crazy for a busy town.

We would like to see the reintroduction of the four bus stops that were suspended in Tangmere. These were suspended when the COVID testing station was in operation. The testing station has been removed but the bus stops are still suspended.

On 10 Sept 2022 I took the number 1 bus to the Findon sheep fair. I waited for 3 hours for a bus home. There were no notices to say that the bus had been rerouted, no information on the App and I was, along with a number of other bus users, completely stranded. I have a disability, have limited financial resources and was eventually forced to take a taxi - which I couldn't afford - to get home. I wrote a letter of complaint to the bus company that evening but have yet to receive the courtesy of a reply or to have the taxi fare reimbursed to me. The experience spoiled the day and made me anxious about using the bus service in the future. It would have been helpful to say the least has there been some sort of notification about the bus service and I would appreciate your comments.

Now my church service is later I can catch the bus the mile to the church. However the second pulse to worthing on Sundays has been cancelled as often as it has run over the last two months. Disappointing.

Great for old people who use them for free. Hopeless got anyone who has to pay the fantastic prices charged. Bring the price down and see traffic reduced.

They are way too expensive. We live in Sidlesham and my kids have to pay £2.80 each way to Chichester. That means it’s over a fiver for an adult each way. I will take the car every time! Reduce the price and everyone will use it. I cannot fault the regularity of them. For my family to go to town would cost over £25 each way ! Follow Sheffield’s lead and charge a quid a ride. Everyone would use it.

Please can there be more bus shelters. Sunburnt in summer, soaking wet on rainy days! Grandson goes to school wet through!! Disabled grandson heatstroke!! Yapton to Bognor 70.
New routes over bridge ever going to happen????

I love using the bus to get around - I only wish the majority of the drivers were happier !!

My husband (who has Alzheimer's) and I regularly use the no 65 bus which takes us into Horsham town. Before Covid it was a half hourly service but was reduced to an hourly service and this has never been rectified to a half hourly bus. This is very inconvenient as if you just miss a bus in town you have to wait a full hour before you can catch another and occasionally it is cancelled so it is a 2 hour wait. In the afternoon it isn't even one an hour between certain hours. Given that the bus is largely used by older people and recently it had become quite crowded, is there any chance we will have the half hourly service restored? Sometimes I resort back to using the car because sometimes one an hour isn't convenient for appointments in town. Thank you.

I live in Hurstpierpoint. The 273 runs every 2hrs except in the afternoon. No 273 bus from Brighton between 14.00 and 17.45. Makes going to lunch in Brighton by bus a nightmare.

Great service but way to expensive ,would use them so much more if the price was cut

Please encourage people to use the bus BUT the buses are too expensive and routes infrequent . Please subsidise routes to make them
affordable. For example, the 63 does not even run on Sunday and the fare is £4.00

Please don’t pay lip service to sustainable travel without the financial support.

I live in Sharpthorne West Sussex. Currently a very limited bus service ( Metrobus 84) is provided which runs on weekdays and Saturdays every 2 hours. The last bus to either East Grinstead or Crawley is before 6pm in the evening.
This situation does not encourage the use of public transport over the use of a private vehicles and for people with no access to their own transport makes it difficult to make journeys for either work or socialising. It also hinders the development of tourist opportunities in this village and also West Hoathly.
