The new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced that most single bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from January and throughout next year. In Wales there are free bus passes for over 60s and cheaper bus fares for 5-21 year olds. But many working-age people are paying more than £2 per journey. Do you think there should be £2 bus journeys in Wales? What are the bus services like where you live? Are they expensive? An opinion piece in The Spectator has highlighted how customers in the UK are less polite than those in other countries when in shops, restaurants and even travelling on buses. It says it's now normal here to enter a shop and not greet the staff, and to leave without saying goodbye. Are we becoming less friendly and polite? And finally, Portmeirion has been named the best seaside town in Wales in the latest Which? report. It's one of 5 Welsh resorts to feature in the UK's top 30 - along with St Davids, Conwy, Tenby and Llandudno. Where's your favourite seaside town in Wales? Tell us why you love it so much.
