There have been some problems with public transport in your area recently. Write a letter to the manager of the transport company. In your letter ; describe the problems, explain how these problems are affecting the public and suggest some changes that could be made

Dear Sir, I write to inform you about the unsatisfactory services delivered by your transportation company and the negative effect it has on its
customers
.
Firstly
, I will like to analyse the challenges faced. Lateness of the
buses
and delay at a bus stop. The
buses
do not arrive at time scheduled time, and the live tracker application is not updated
therefore
, we are unable to track the location of the bus, and determine if we will be able to wait for the bus.
In addition
, these problems have affected me in a negative way thereby creating a wrong impression of me at work, because I resume late
due to
your unreliable transport system.
Also
, I am not able to plan my schedule properly for the day, the reason being that the
buses
might show up late.
This
also
affects the level of productivity for the day. Having said the problems and how they are affecting us, I suggest that something is done about it, and I suggest that there should be communication on any delay to the
customers
,
this
will help
customers
to make necessary plans. To meet the needs of the
customers
, there should
also
be a backup plan for the
buses
that are not able to show or develop faults.
Lastly
, with proper training for the drivers, on work etiquette like punctuality and being on time, there will be a significant improvement in the transportation system. Yours Faithfully, Mariam
