Dom’s working on the buses, finding out what it takes to keep our most popular form of public transport moving. Across the country, public transport is an essential lifeline, and we make over four million bus journeys every year - to get to work, get our children to school and do the weekly shop, not to mention visit our loved ones. His mentor in East Yorkshire is area director Ben Gilligan, who has been working in the transport industry for nearly 20 years. Dom gets behind the wheel of a double decker, making sure the buses go out on time and helping to keep these magic machines in perfect working order. Can he hack it alongside the men and women who work tirelessly to make sure our buses keep getting us to where we need to be?
