Currently the longest guided busway in the world. This may not last, as the contractor (who's been taken to court by the council for failure to deliver) has got several projects to build the same kind of thing in other UK cities.
It'll be interesting to see how this goes. The big test will be how it responds when the A14 gets jammed. Although unless people are already planning to use it, they'll still be stuck in that jam.
The guided section from the rail station down to Addenbrookes hospital is not yet open, so it has to mix it with normal traffic for now.
