Transport
The Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company maintains a depot at the south end of Whitehawk.
One of the Company's five high-frequency METRO branded routes, Route 1, runs from Swanborough Drive to Mile Oak via the city centre and Portslade, serving most of the Whitehawk estate. The route operates every 6–7 minutes during the day and 15–20 minutes in the early morning and late evening (Mondays to Saturdays), and less frequently on Sundays.
Route 21 connects Whitehawk with Brighton Marina and the London Road shopping area, running every 20 minutes (hourly on Sundays).
On weekdays, four peak-hour buses run through Whitehawk on their way to and from the Falmer campuses of Sussex and Brighton Universities.
Special flat-fare night buses are run on Friday and Saturday nights from locations close to various nightclubs and music venues in the city centre to outlying areas, both within and outside the city boundaries. The N99 bus, which serves Peacehaven and Newhaven, goes through the Whitehawk estate on both its 1.10am and 2.30am journeys.
Many other bus routes, including METRO Route 7 to the Marina, run along Eastern Road close to the south end of the Whitehawk area.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
