An extra bus route is to service a popular leisure centre in a bid to ease demands for parking.
The multi-million pound K2 centre has been a huge success since it opened in Crawley last November.
From next Saturday, the 2 Metrobus service will include the leisure centre on its route, running between Ifield West, the town centre, Tilgate and K2 every 15 minutes.
Beryl McCrow, Crawley Borough Council member for leisure and culture, said: "There is a lot of pressure on car parking, particularly at peak times.
"It will now be even easier to get to and from K2 by public transport and hopefully it will help alleviate the problem."
The council is also hoping to add a further 40 car parking spaces at K2, subject to planning permission, after the executive committee agreed to pay for the work to be done at a meeting earlier this month.
Bus timetables are available from the leisure centre, bus station, www.metrobus.co.uk or by calling 01293 449191.
