The OBE awarded to Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company's managing director, Roger French, in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for services to public transport (The Argus, June 11) is a well-deserved honour.
The public transport system, as far as buses in Brighton and Hove are concerned, has improved considerably under his leadership.
This progress has not been achieved all on his own, however, which he fully acknowledged, citing the great contribution of the staff working for the company.
He also admitted he would not be where he is now without their commitment. When he sees how hard they work, sometimes under difficult conditions, he realises how important their sense of teamwork is.
Providing reliable bus travel for the population of Brighton and Hove is difficult and he can't hope to please all the people all the time. But many routes now have modern, clean and state-of-the-art buses adding to passenger comfort and safety.
