Template:Future uk public transportation The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway is a planned guided bus system that will use a disused railway line from St Ives to Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, with a further section operating between the railway station and the Trumpington Park & Ride scheme. At 25 km long, the busway will be the longest in the world.[1]
Construction started in March 2007 and is expected to finish in 2009. The project is budgeted to cost £116.2 million.[1]
It is estimated that 11,500 journeys a day will be made on the guideway.[citation needed] It is intended to help to ease congestion on the busy A14, which links Huntingdon and Cambridge, and provide an alternative and convenient mode of transport for car users in the area. The tramway will pass through the proposed new town of Northstowe, a significant area of urban expansion that will accommodate nearly 10,000 new houses.
