Consultation proposals
- Transforming the bus network
We proposed changing the bus network from mid-2023 through more services to more locations, with cheaper fares set at £1/£2. - Investing in other sustainable travel schemes
Alongside the bus network, we proposed investing in new sustainable travel schemes, such as better walking and cycling links. - Creating a Sustainable Travel Zone
We proposed introducing of a Sustainable Travel Zone in the form of a road user charge on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council. It would have been fully operational in 2027/28 once the first bus improvements had been introduced.
