You experienced an incident on public transport that caused you distress. Write a letter to the manager of the public transport company. In your letter describe the incident explain how this incident affected you suggest what could be done about it.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to notify you of an upsetting incident I experienced on the Tafford
train
line last
week and to suggest ways to prevent similar ones in future.
As I always do after my shift on Friday night, I was taking the 9:15 train
from Central to Tafford. Usually, the train
is crowded, but last
week, I was alone in the carriage. At the third
station from Central, a man got on the train
and approached me, demanded my wallet and phone, which I handed over, and got off at the next
stop.
Obviously, I was terrified, and without my phone, I had no way to call for help. The emergency button on the carriage was out of order, so I was unable to notify the driver, which added to my distress. Since the robbery, I have been too afraid to return to work as I have to rely on public transport to commute.
I have filed a police report, and I would also
ask that you take steps to ensure such
an attack does not happen again. While installing cameras in every carriage would be one option, I feel that having public transport or police officer on every train
after dark would be even better. I would also
strongly suggest that all emergency buttons are tested across the network, as this
defect added to my trauma that night.
Please look into these matters as a matter of urgency.
Yours faithfully, Pearl SmithSubmitted by santhoshvarunkumar on
