A Satellite-powered information system that means no more waiting for hours at bus stops has been commended at a national awards ceremony.
Brighton and Hove's real time information system provides up-to-date bus times at more than 100 stops.
The system is linked to Brighton and Hove City Council's congestion-busting website, www.citytransport.org.uk .
It has been commended in the eWell-Being awards, which honour projects that identify and promote the benefits of information and communication technologies.
Carolyn Dwyer, assistant director of sustainable transport for the council, said: "From 2000 to 2004 there has been an increase of 14.5 per cent in bus patronage. We are on track to report an increase of 20 per cent from 2000 to 2005 - an extra four million trips, against a national target of one per cent per year."
