=== Future plans ===
In February 2020, consultations opened for a transport system known as the [[Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro]]. It would have connected the historic city centre and the existing busway route with the mainline railway stations, [[Cambridge Science Park]] and [[Haverhill, Suffolk|Haverhill]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-47628185 |title=BBC News |date=19 March 2019 |access-date=14 July 2020 |archive-date=29 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190429102108/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-47628185 |url-status=live }}</ref> In May 2021 the newly elected mayor said he was focused instead on a "revamped bus network" but would not yet abandon the work done. {{As of|November 2022}}, the [[Greater Cambridge Partnership]] is consulting on plans comprising: transforming the bus network; investing in other sustainable travel schemes; and introducing a [[Cambridge Congestion Charge]] as part of a Sustainable Travel Zone.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://consultcambs.uk.engagementhq.com/making-connections-2022 |title=GCP Making Connections 2022 |publisher=Greater Cambridge Partnership |date=2022-11-24 |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=engagementhq.com}}</ref>

In 2024, Cambridge Connect proposed repurposing the planned route of the canceled metro as a [[light railway]]. Known as the [[Isaac Newton line]], it would connect the mainline railway stations with Cambourne, the guided busway station at [[Trumpington]], Haverhill, [[Addenbrookes Hospital]], and a new station in Cambridge city centre.<ref>[https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/calls-5million-government-put-cambridge-29736365 Isaac Newton line]</ref>
