Travel by Bus


​Taking the bus can be convenient, quicker, and cheaper than travelling via car to Cambridge, and provides environmental benefits too. Car journeys contribute a significant amount towards our overall carbon footprint, and Public Transport allows you to reach a central point such as Cambridge directly rather than  diverting via a car park.

If you regularly travel the same journey, or you're planning in advance, you can make cost savings as the cost of running a car is more than just the cost of petrol. Public transport means no car insurance, tax, MOT or car maintenance.
​

Wheelchair Accessible Buses

All Stagecoach buses in Cambridgeshire, including the 4, 18 and 905 services, operate with wheelchair accessible buses which have ramps, an official space for wheelchairs and a low floor capability which enables the bus platform to lower to the kerb level for easier boarding.

Whippet Coaches are also wheelchair accessible for the X3 service. 

Concessionary Fare Scheme

As part of a governmental scheme initiated by the Department for Transport free off-peak local bus travel is provided to eligible older and disabled people anywhere in England. You can qualify for a Concessionary Bus Pass if you are the state pension age of a female or if you satisfy the disability eligibility criteria.

Within Cambridgeshire the pass means free travel Monday to Fridays after 9.30am until the last bus and all day on weekends and bank holidays. More information regarding eligibility and applying for a Concessionary Bus Pass can be found at the below sites:
