A bus company in Sussex is hoping to win over passengers after adding a new route to its timetable.
The Sussex Bus Company will start operating a new route from Lindfield to Haywards Heath and on to the hospital - but there is already a bus service running on this route.
However, this route is already occupied by Southdowns PSV bus company running a similar route - meaning the two companies will have to go head to head in order to win the loyalty of customers.
Southdowns customer Roy Hayward told the Mid Sussex Times that the new route will run five minutes ahead of the existing bus.
He continued that it would be “a shame” if people just start getting on the first bus that comes.
Mr Hayward explained: “The current bus is almost like a social club where you meet people.
“Everyone knows everybody else and you are aware of the driver.”
