Overdrive 13 Dec 2014.

News stories from around the world including: The future of highways; Paris car-free city centre; Rail upgrade prompted by FTA; Imported oil reliance; GPS trackers cut theft in Perth; and a BMW e-scooter 'commuter accessory'.

In our feature interview we talk to a transport planner who has a range of ideas to reduce congestion without building massive freeways.

We road test the Honda Jazz.

And in our quirky news discussion with Brian Smith: A ‘Bio Bus’ which runs on human waste (so is there a toilet in the back to top it up?); Uber rideshare company in trouble (again); and Man jailed after he drove his girlfriend’s car onto a racetrack during a race.
