I took an open-top tour of Cambridge and saw the city in a whole new light

I had always thought the hop-on, hop-off buses were just for tourists, but in reality there's something for everyone

Cambridge's bright red sightseeing buses will be a familiar sight to those who live, work or study in the city. The unmissable open-top double-deckers begin a tour of the centre every 20 minutes every day taking in some of our most famous sights.

When the buses recently began running again after a short break, I took a tour for the first time ever and got an entirely new perspective on Cambridge. I had always considered the buses to be for tourists only, but there is something for everyone.

I started my tour on Silver Street, where the route begins (although of course you can 'hop on' at any stop) and was first taken down Downing Street, St Andrew's Street and Chesterton Lane. There is lots of beautiful architecture above eye-level in Cambridge and the top deck of the bus is a good way to spot it.

Read more: What's on in Cambridge

On my bus, facts about the buildings we were passing were read out loud in English, although the audio is available in nine different languages, perfect for any visitors or those who don't have English as a first language. The information was generally about Cambridge's history and contained plenty of details I didn't know, despite living in the city.

The bus then continued along Bridge Street, Jesus Lane and Drummer Street. You can ride them all the way out to the railway station, Trumpington Street and Madingley Road if you like and even visit the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial out in west Cambridge.

Luckily, the rain stayed off for most of my journey, although there is a covered area on the top deck for when British weather strikes. It was a good way to take photos and see the city without having to walk around and tire myself out.

If you're a local and interested in learning about Cambridge's history, I would recommend starting the tour at the beginning and letting the bus take you on its full, extensive tour (there are 17 stops and two extras on Sunday). But otherwise the best way to enjoy the tour is, of course, to hop-on and hop-off throughout the day.

The bus could serve as the backdrop of a day out in Cambridge, whether you're showing around friends and family or just want to appreciate our historic city a little better and finally visit some of its museums, galleries and other interesting sites. At £16.50 for adults and £11 for children, tickets aren't cheap, but you can hop on and off as many times as you wish within 24 hours and they come with a coupon book of discounts at museums and restaurants.

The buses are operated by Stagecoach and more information about timings and availability can be found on their website .

Cambridge City Council Takes Next Step in Pilot Program to Make MBTA Bus Route 1 Fare-Free

The Cambridge City Council unanimously passed a policy order on Monday asking City Manager Yi-An Huang ’05 to work with the MBTA and the City of Boston to implement a fare-free Route 1 bus program.

The Council discussed the feasibility of a fare-free bus Route 1 pilot program during its weekly meeting on Monday. The effort comes ahead of a planned Red Line shutdown in July, which will leave most Cambridge residents with restricted access to the T system.

The discussion follows the rollout of similar fare-free programs in other Massachusetts cities, including the Worcester and Merrimack Valley Regional Transportation Authorities. The City of Boston also made the 23, 28, and 29 buses fare-free through at least March 2026.

“This is another attempt to see, okay, is this possible?’” Councilor Sumbul Siddiqui said in an interview on Tuesday. “Especially in light of Mayor Wu working with the MBTA to continue the three routes.”

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu ’07 recently announced the extension of the existing free-fare bus program — which was originally set to end in February — until March 2026.

Cambridge has explored the feasibility of a free-fare program since at least 2020, including the launch of a Fare-Free Bus Pilot Working Group.

The working group, citing Boston’s pilot programs, concluded that fare-free buses have proven to increase ridership and equity in public transportation.

Councilor Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler said during the meeting on Monday that the fare-free bus will make the transportation more efficient as passengers often slow down bus routes with payment issues.

“They also reduce the assaults on bus drivers,” Sobrinho-Wheeler added, noting that fares are one of the leading causes of conflicts.

According to Siddiqui, the City came close to program implementation last term but faced difficulties with “a gap in communication,” citing the MBTA leadership change and the City Council election.

“There’s a renewed opportunity with the Red Line shutdown in July in Cambridge to ask the T to make the number one bus fare-free,” Sobrinho-Wheeler said during the meeting.

The MBTA has scheduled to shut down the Red Line from Alewife to Kendall/MIT for the majority of July.

Councilor Burhan Azeem said that the pilot program can likely be financed with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. During the previous term, the City had planned to set aside two million dollars from ARPA funding for the initiative.

The City of Boston has also previously expressed interest in working with the City of Cambridge to launch a fare-free program for Route 1, which has more than half of its stops in Boston.

“If we don’t have alternatives for people to take public transit, we’re gonna see worse traffic, we’re gonna see more traffic accidents, we’re gonna see more pollution,” Sobrinho-Wheeler said.

“We need to be encouraging people to take public transit with the Red Line shut down.”
