There have been some problems with the bus service, especially its reliability, in your area over the last two weeks. Write a letter to the manager of the bus company. In your letter • describe what the problems are • explain how these problems are affecting you • suggest what you would like the company to do
Dear Sir/ Ma,
I write to inform you about your logistics
company
. Some challenges
I have been facing as a customer, how these problems have affected me and give possible solutions to the problems identified.
Firstly
, there are few challenges
I have observed are the main causes of its non-dependability. The breakdown of the ticketing machine, which has resulted in passengers loading their bus
cards manually, which is done by joining a very long queue
to get their card recharged manually.
In addition
, the buses
arrive late to the station against the agreed time without any prior notification to its customers
which is not good enough. This
disrupts the movement schedule of most people and even me, which could lead to lateness to where ever they planned to go. For instance
, after queuing to load my card manually, just to later realize that the bus
would be arriving late, without any prior notice. This
action is below the standard of your logistic company
.
Customer satisfaction cannot be neglected, as the issues listed above would affect customers
the satisfaction with your bus
company
, which could lead to customers
going for another bus
company
if solutions are not provided. Sometimes your buses
also
get overloaded by the bus
-man, thereby making the bus
crowded.
Furthermore
, these challenges
have affected me personally in my daily life. For example
, the long queue
has resulted in a health complication for me, which was a result of the long hours of standing i.e both in the queue
and when waiting for the late buses
. This
late arrival of buses
, hinder my scheduled movement plan when there is no prior notice.
In spite of all the problems and how they have been of challenges
to me, there are some sustainable solutions I can recommend for your bus
company
so as to provide better services. A well detailed Planned preventive maintenance schedule for the buses
would go long way, by that you would know when a particular bus
needs to be maintained and the predictive maintenance to carry out on the bus
. Alongside this
, proper orientation and training of the drivers and other staff at the bus
station,
would help eradicate the lateness on arrival and improve the operational system. From my experience, it is noticed that when a driver is not reminded of the Remove the comma

company
's vision and what the company
stands for, they tend to work with an absent mind. Therefore
subsequent training is necessary for them. Fixing of

,
will be of great relief to the Remove the comma

customers
, and they would not have to queue
any longer.
To conclude, I will appreciate it if all the above-metioned
points are looked into, all these would help improve the customer satisfaction of your Correct your spelling

bus
company
.
Yours Faithfully,
