Is this a mix of Kraftwerk?

Excellent video, I went to cambridge recently and thought the Busway was great. It is flexible there has been no need to dig up the centre of Cambridge and when finished will be a great resource for the city. That's my view athough I don't live in Cambridge and don't know all the background.

it would actually be going that fast if it was a train. thumbs up if you agree

[Joe90V]

@bakedbeanishdragon Except it wouldn't go through either the heart of Cambridge or St Ives; you'd have to walk nearly 2 miles to the station, or get a bus. Plus a railway line limits the train to the railway line and safety limits the frequency. The routes can be expanded in the future, when we have a government that believes in public transport, to divert into various villages enroute, and they could run at minute intervals if the demand was there.

What's with the weird "non-guided" bits at 3:36?, and then the really short guided bit at 4:21? I wonder how the former will work in really wet, or icy conditions?

[vegas2004]

Was never in favour of the (mis)guided busway and would much rather they have reinstated the railway,but since its here i really hope it dont become a white elephant and people continue to use it after the novelty factor wears off.I honestly think though this will be a thorn in CCC side for decades to come due to the massive overspend and hope tax payers dont have to foot the bill because majority of locals never wanted it to start with.

Good luck-you'll need it!

Nice but is there any way you can put captions on at the stops to say where the bus is?

[TkMToM1993]

I live in Huntingdon.. And I can i'm never going to use this to get to Cambridge...
