On 30 October 2022, Stagecoach cancelled 18 Cambridgeshire bus routes due to "significant falls in passenger numbers".

Stagecoach has received a lot of backlash for this decision, including from the mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Dr Nik Johnson.

[7] The city is served by a seven days a week park and ride service run by Cambridgeshire County Council and Stagecoach.

[19] Bike theft in the city is a problem, with over 3000 bicycles reported stolen between April 2005 and March 2006.

Cambridge railway station was built in 1845 with a platform designed to take two full-length trains, the third longest in the country.

Future developments for the Cambridge to London line include the provision of 125 miles per hour (201 km/h) high speed trains.

The line is all welded rail, but because of the flat geography there are many level crossings, and they make it harder to run at higher speeds.

The important UK rail hub of Peterborough is also less than an hour from Cambridge, which provides direct connections to Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh Waverley.

At the end of January 2016 all scheduled and charter flights from the airport were halted due to a lack of passenger numbers.

Chaired by Sir William Holford, an eminent architect and planner, it proposed a set of changes with a relief road for the centre of Cambridge, which would have destroyed terraced housing and other areas.

[31] In 2009 the County Council revealed its plans to spend £25 million on renovating the area from Regent Street to the Cherry Hinton Road Junction, entitled Project Cambridge.

The scheme is composed of many smaller projects with common themes of making junctions easier for pedestrians to cross, promoting cycle use and reducing traffic.

The redevelopment of the Cambridge Station area has been given the green light and has been awarded £1.5 million of central government money to help pay for the scheme.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) is a local delivery body for a City Deal with central government created in 2014, envisaging an investment of £500 million, mainly transport investment, over 15 years to create growth in the greater Cambridge area.

[37][36] In February 2022, the joint assembly of the Greater Cambridge Partnership considered ideas towards shifting away from car use.
