Local Elections 2021: Cambridge-Cambourne busway divides candidates Published media captionLocal Elections 2021: Cambridge to Cambourne busway 'a bad scheme' Plans for a £160m Cambridge to Cambourne busway have been discussed since 2015 but after six years and multiple proposed routes there is still no agreement. Campaigners have labelled it a "bad scheme". How will mayoral candidates improve transport for commuters? The proposed Cambridge to Cambourne busway, an extension of the city's current scheme, has been one of the county's most controversial transport projects. An independent audit was commissioned in January after key stakeholders failed to agree on the preferred route. Coton parish councillor Helen Bradbury said the current proposals would damage the countryside and not be an attractive option for commuters.
