Just cycle! It will take 15 mins. If you need to wear a suit then leave it in at work and arrive 5 mins early so you can change. What a dream commute! Think what you will save on gym fees.

Welcome to Cambridge! A city with such 💩transport it makes my town in the Derbyshire fakes look like royalty with its frequent links!

There are alternative roads: White bridge over the A14, down the back of the Innovation Park, then only a little bit of Milton Road to Kings Hedges Road, Campkin Road/Carlton Way/Stretten Avenue, for example.

I don't think the accident rate on Milton Road is much higher than usual recently. Note that the cycle path on one side is still open most of the way, and in practice you can cycle both ways on it.

Cycle, you have loads of safe options, you can get to the college without going on any busy roads at all basically, and there are some really pretty routes to choose from, like along the river from the green dragon bridge or even from baits bite lock along the tow path depending where in Milton you are starting from. Take your work clothes with you and change, get some wet weather gear and away you go.

You can find a shortcut through arbury campkin rd ect avoiding alot of Milton rd and cycle or walk ? Escooty , Uber . Yes bus is terrible , perhaps skip the change and walk last part Murray Edwards is very near river side of town castle hill area town centre.

An extra couple mins but v easy to just go along busway via Orchard Park and straight down Histon Road as well.

no i assumed you was fron your licence not being valid haha, so because you have a visa to be here it give you the right to apply for a learners licence, from there you can do what is called a cbt, its £120-180 depending on who you go with, after you do that and get your certificate it allows you to drive up to a 125cc motorbike for two years no test needed

Cycling via other roads would be the cheapest, fastest and easiest option. Keep calm and carry on wear a helmet
