Public transport and performing arts

I am really worried about the future of public transport. Already, as I get older, I find driving at night difficult, and living in a village there is no public transport available to go out in the evening. I have loved the Park and Ride (thank you EU) but I am really worried at the permanent damage the current messages on public transport use will do in the long term. I would like to see a very cheap comprehensive network of buses, managed by Cornwall Council, to create a cleaner and safer environment, but how can this happen while the message is "avoid public transport"?

I would also like to see many more joyous outdoor public events, bring the community together with a flourishing arts scene. And of course a thriving Hall for Cornwall! Again, how can this happen when we must avoid crowds and stay at home as much as possible? How can we ensure the performing arts can revive again in Cornwall once this nightmare is over?
