Cornwall Council has announced a special project for the Truro-Falmouth bus route which will see residents along the route given 5 free bus tickets to try to persuade them to use the bus instead of their cars on the route. The aim is an admirable one – to encourage people to use public transport more. But once again the Council seems to be ignoring the problems faced by residents in the East of Cornwall who often don’t have the option of taking the bus at all. Take Launceston for example. There are fairly good services around the town and to the local villages, as well as some to Plymouth, Exeter and Liskeard.
