YOUR editorial of Wednesday, August 31, states that most car journeys are far less than two miles.

People who live in Fernhill Heath are just one-and-a-half miles from Sainsbury's in Warndon.

To get there by bus means a three-mile trip on a county bus to Crowngate, two-and-a-half miles to Sainsbury's on a city bus, and then do the double bus journey back.

I very much doubt if the 144 will stop at Perdiswell park-and-ride so the new Express Service will be of no use.

M SIMPKINS,

Fernhill Heath.
