Buses, Tiny Homes, Car Buying Confusion

Why is Britain's bus service failing some passengers? And the people buying tiny homes.

It's the most used form of public transport in Britain, so why has the bus service been in decline for so many years? We hear from one passenger who relies on the bus for everything from shopping to visiting family but is finding that increasingly challenging. And Alice Ridley from the Campaign for Better Transport and Paul Street, from the Confederation of Passenger Transport, which represents 95% of bus operators, discuss why the system is struggling and what could be done about it.

With house prices so high for so long some buyers are taking down sizing to another level; we hear from two people who have bought what's known as a 'tiny home', a timber framed micro mobile house, and ask what they've saved and what people should be aware of if they're considering it.

And is it us or is car buying really confusing right now? New or used, EV or petrol and what about the whole question of how to finance the cost? WhatCar Editorial Director Jim Holder joins the programme with answers and advice for anyone wondering what their next move should be.
