New Tiger bus routes make it even easier to get to CRC - Cambridge Regional College

New Tiger bus routes make it even easier to get to CRC

It’s even easier to get to Cambridge Regional College’s campuses in Cambridge and Huntingdon, thanks to increased coverage with the Tiger Pass with 7 new bus routes across the region and improvements on other routes.

The Tiger Pass is an initiative provided by the Cambridge & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) to enable young people to access more affordable bus travel across the region – fairs are only £1 a journey.

The new bus routes are designed to help people in surrounding towns and villages access education (school or college), work, hospital appointments, shopping or to visit family and friends and connect to key travel hubs like Park & Rides, rail stations and city connections.   

Where can you use your Tiger pass?

The Tiger pass is open to all under 25 year olds living in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority area, it can be used to travel on the bus anywhere within the Combined Authority region, including services going out of the area that start within the region.

Operators participating are Stagecoach, Whippet, Dews, A2B, Stephensons, FACT, Star travel and First (Vectare and Delaine are not currently part of the scheme).

Tiger 1 from Huntingdon to Cambridge, for instance, will call at CRC’s Cambridge site – meaning students from Huntingdon will be able to commute directly between campuses. All of the routes are outlined below.
