Stagecoach bus strike starting tomorrow (after being called off a few days ago?) some interesting(?) things…

No Tiger 2, 3, 4 buses - aren’t these contracted CPCA routes paid by us via Mayoral Precept??

£2.50 flat bus fare - so why not that all the time usually?

Fewer Cambridgeshire busway passengers after speed limit reduced
The limit on the network, where three people have died, is reduced while fencing is installed.

17 November 2025 transport meeting

Comparing regions, their max distance to stop, min frequency, and cost benchmarks.

Yet typical "Cambs style" 🤔 CPCA going for "dynamic" instead of actual numbers, and higher cost per pax??
