Why take the bus?
There are lots of reasons to take the bus from Cambridge to Stansted Airport. Yes, there are alternatives, but they also have disadvantages. For example, the train may be quick, but it's expensive, crowded, and there's no guarantee that the seat you booked will be there for you when you get on at Cambridge station.
The car is convenient, but parking at Stansted is in high demand, especially during peak travel periods, and parking fees eat into your holiday funds. You could book an Uber or a taxi, but again, that goes against your holiday budget. So the bus makes sense.
It's far cheaper than other options, and that seat you booked is guaranteed to be waiting for you, even if you have to change your booking. You have lots of legroom onboard, as well as air conditioning and onboard Wi-Fi, so you can chill out with a few YouTube videos while you head towards Stansted. When you arrive at the airport, you're just a few steps away from check-in, helping to keep your stress levels down.

Cambridge – Academic achievement and a few surprises
Merging centuries of academic excellence and a healthy rivalry with Oxford, Cambridge is most famous for its university, dating back to the 13th century. But there's much more than dusty libraries and echoing lecture halls to discover.
The city boasts a vibrant arts scene, featuring charming spots like Kettle's Yard, which seamlessly blends modern art with historic home life. Check out the Cambridge Gin Laboratory if you enjoy a tipple or two, or go punting down the river Cam (preferably not immediately after a visit to the gin factory!)
Excellent road and rail connections, along with plenty of local buses and taxis, make it easy to get around this stunning city. The students give it an energetic vibe that makes a visit so enjoyable.
