Today's Hunts Post ( 27 February, page 2) reveals that the busway has now been used by 4 million passengers and they are expecting traffic to rise by another 500,000 this year. 2013 is expected to see 3 million passenger journeys. Councillor Ian Bates is quoted as saying: 'Four million passengers are proof that people are choosing the busway over other methods of transport'.

Priorities for busway cycle track
A few weeks ago it was announced that Cambridgeshire County Council was to spend £95,000 on installing solar powered lights on the busway.
A letter in this week's Huntingdon & St Ives News & Crier ( 3 January, page 6) calls on the County Council (and Councillor Ian Bates in particular) to make the St Ives end of the cycle track usable before 'the section nearest Cambridge was given gold-plated treatment'. The writer, from Godmanchester, is referring to the fact that the cycle track between St Ives and Swavesey has been under water for the past 4 weeks.
The letter also refers to a comment by Nigel Brigham of Sustrans about wanting people to 'still feel able to ride their bikes for their everyday journeys' - which they can't do while the track is flooded.
