Is there a faster route between Milton Keynes and Cambridge, England than taking a train via London?
Short answer: no, there doesn't appear to be a faster route.
The main bus route from Milton Keynes to Cambridge is the X5 followed by the 905, operated by Stagecoach. Until recently this was a single bus route, the X5, but it seems this no longer runs the full route.
Google Maps puts this journey at around 2h30, including a 30-minute connection in Bedford. ...

Is there a faster route between Milton Keynes and Cambridge, England than taking a train via London?
There used to be a direct bus on this route, the X5 (Oxford - Bicester - Milton Keynes - Bedford - Cambridge), but it was apparently withdrawn in August 2020. I haven't travelled this in quite a while, but I used to take the X5 a lot when I was younger.

As a public ...

It seems that the answer to the question in the title is no.
(To address the concern at the end of the question, I haven't had problems with using contactless credit cards on buses.)

In addition to the taxi suggestion, depending on how long you're planning to spend in Cambridge, you may be better off actually hiring a car. If you book in advance and spend some time searching, and don't need a large car, you may be able to get a car for under £40 a day. Even adding the cost of petrol, if you're going for a day, i.e. returning the within ...

The Hola Barcelona card includes public transport within Zone 1 (https://doc.atm.cat/ca/xarxa_ferrov_global.pdf), in which Tibidabo stop is situated.

It seems I found the information that answers my question at least partially (see below). It might change when the shuttle starts operating (June 19, 2021), but then I hope it will be updated on the website where I took this information from.
Service is currently operated every 10-20 minutes on weekends and holidays only. Service to Muir Woods from Pohono ...
