Residents urged to help shape the future of local bus services as Bus Network Review engagement passes halfway point

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority is encouraging residents to have their say on proposed changes to local bus services as the Bus Network Review engagement passes its halfway point.

Since launching last month, more than 700 residents and bus users from across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have already shared their views on proposals designed to improve local bus services by making them more reliable, better connected and better value for money.

The proposals include changes to routes across Cambridge City, Huntingdonshire, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland and Peterborough. In some areas, this could mean new routes and improved connections, while other routes could be simplified or replaced to better reflect how passengers use the services.

The proposals are based on a review of bus services currently funded by the Combined Authority. The review examined how routes are being used, whether they meet local travel needs, how well they connect people to key destinations and whether they provide the best possible value for public funding.

The Combined Authority would like to thank everyone who has already taken the time to share their views. Feedback received throughout the engagement will play an important role in informing future decisions on the region’s bus network.

Residents who have not yet taken part are encouraged to review the proposals and complete the survey before the engagement closes.

Residents can view the proposals for their local area and complete the online survey before the engagement closes at 5pm on Tuesday 28 July.
