The B is a fast link between the splendours of Cambridge and Peterborough. Much of the route uses a guided busway, separate from other traffic, on the route of a closed railway line, making it quicker than most buses. It's operated by Stagecoach.

Tickets


The cheapest day ticket that is valid throughout route B is the Stagecoach Cambridgeshire Dayrider Plus at £7 for an adult. It can be used on all Stagecoach buses in this zone.


If you're travelling from further afield to connect with the B, then the Stagecoach East Dayrider Gold might be for you. At £15 for an adult, it's valid throughout route B and on all Stagecoach buses across East Anglia and much of the Home Counties and the Midlands.

Singles and returns vary in price according to distance, but at the time of writing a single from Cambridge to Peterborough costs £5 for an adult. Day tickets are often cheaper than returns, so check Stagecoach's tickets page to look up fares and work out which is the best option for you.
