Wake Up to Money: On the buses

On the buses

BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, On the buses

The government's promised to make buses cheaper, greener and better. But is £3bn enough?

Sean looks at the big promises the government's making to improve the UK's buses. And the collapse of a football betting service that may cost some users their life savings.

The boss of one Yorkshire bus company tells Sean Farrington what he makes of the government's new £3bn National Bus Strategy. It promises fleets of electric buses and cheaper, more reliable services. But do the sums add up?
Betting company Football Index has announced its going into administration. The platform allows users to trade football players as if on a stock market, but some users fear they may lose thousands. 
And the boss of Pearl & Dean tells Sean when she thinks we might start to see the movie industry get back to normal.
