Have your say on proposals for faster, cheaper, more reliable bus services and safer cycling through the introduction of a Sustainable Travel Zone
The Proposals:
- Transforming the Bus Network: From as early as mid-2023, we’re proposing to transform the bus network through more services to more locations, with cheaper fares set at £1/£2.
- Investing in Other Sustainable Travel Schemes: Alongside the bus network, we're proposing to invest in new sustainable travel schemes, such as better walking and cycling links.
- Creating a Sustainable Travel Zone: We're proposing the introduction of a Sustainable Travel Zone in the form of a road user charge on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council. Vehicles would be charged for driving within the Zone between 7am and 7pm on weekdays, and money raised would fund improvements to the bus network and other sustainable travel schemes. The Zone would be fully operational in 2027/28 but only once the first bus improvements are introduced.
The proposals will see double the hours of service and miles covered of the pre-pandemic Greater Cambridge bus network, £1 flat fares for single journeys in the Cambridge bus zone, and £2 fares in the wider area and 50% expected reduction of traffic in Cambridge.
Proposed Future Bus Network, Planner and Maps:
The proposed transformation of the bus network would provide more routes, for longer hours and higher frequencies for lower fares across the whole region.
