HONESTLY I just cannot get my head round what point Pamela St Clair (ViewPoints, November 19) is trying to get over in her recent letter in what she considers to be an excess of buses in Oxford city centre.

I am sure she is sincere in her beliefs but is she not aware that all private cars, vans, lorries and vast carriers (presumably HGVs) are banned from using the High Street and St Aldate’s between the hours of 7.30am and 6.30pm and only buses, taxis, private hire cars and emergency vehicles are permitted access in that time-span?
