    2.60 rom the ticket machine and 2.90 rom the

    bus driver (please bring the correct change). Buses

    leave every 10 minutes and the journey normally

    takes around 15 minutes, but it s advised to allow

    at least 30 minutes to travel into the city centre.

    For more inormation, see the website at:

    www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/parkandride/ .

    sites or the Open Days. Please contact the
