Our vision is ambitious and it will be expensive. But, if we are to provide a real alternative to the car for many of our journeys by significantly improving public transport, then it needs to be.
We understand that people, especially those in rural areas, often have little or no choice about using a car. That is why we want to see public transport transformed. We want to spend hundreds of millions of pounds in improving both the availability and quality of public transport so that it becomes a realistic first choice for many people.
We want to see the number of buses in Cambridgeshire doubled, more frequent services and, by introducing more bus priority measures, more reliable services.
We also want to create new roads and cycle paths as well as better facilities for pedestrians. And, we understand the need to meet the requirements of both rural and urban communities.
