A guided busway is a dedicated track just for buses to drive on.  Any bus can use a guided busway as long as it has two small extra wheels (guide wheels) attached in front of its regular wheels.  These guide wheels then connect with the busway track.

Guided buses will travel on both newly built guideways and also on ordinary roads.

The guideway is being built along the route of the old St Ives to Cambridge railway track and from Cambridge railway station to Addenbrooke's Hospital and Trumpington Park & Ride.

Where guided buses travel on normal roads they will use bus priority measures, including new bus lanes and bus priority traffic signals.

There will also be a new bridleway for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders built alongside the guideway from St Ives to Cambridge Science Park.
