Operations and Routes
The company's routes cover a large area encompassing the whole of the city, some parts of West and East Sussex and a single route into Kent (the 29). The limits are:
- Shoreham and Steyning in the west;
- Lewes, Ringmer, Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells in the north;
- Newhaven, Seaford and Eastbourne in the east.
There are 40 separately-numbered standard routes. Frequencies range from every 5 minutes to two journeys per day. In addition, there are six "Night Bus" routes and 19 school bus routes. During 2005, the company took over many routes previously operated partly or entirely by Scottish-based Stagecoach Group, the best example being the Coaster services 12 & 13X to Seaford and Eastbourne.
The company operates out of three depots: Conway Street, Whitehawk and Lewes Road. Conway Street also serves as the company's headquarters. The company also have four outstations in Newhaven, Eastbourne, Uckfield and Durrington.

Famous quotes containing the words operations and/or routes:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
