The local government is planning to change the bus timetable. You are not happy about the proposed changes. You have decided to write about it to the editor of a local newspaper. v. 1
Dear Sir or Madam, I am a local resident of Bexley, London writing to express my concerns regarding the suggested changes in the bus timetable by the local government. I hope you would publish an editorial regarding the inconveniences these changes are going to cause to the local people. In relation to the proposed changes, the authority is planning to reduce the frequency of the bus on route 25 and 28. The current frequency of the bus is every 20 minutes, however, the local administration plans to cut down the frequency to a bus to one in an hour. Moreover, the first bus will depart at 7. 00 am rather than 6. 00 am. As you can understand, such drastic changes to the schedule will adversely affect the commuters. Currently, I have to report to work at 7: 00 am, therefore, I board the bus that arrives at 6. 00 am. If the current timetable were to change, I will face great difficulties in getting to work on time. In my opinion, the bus frequency needs to be increased rather than decreased, so that the travellers who have to leave for work before the sunrise can be accommodated in a better way. Further, I would suggest that the transport authority should also consider replacing the older buses to improve the overall travel experience. I hope you will publish my concerns in your newspaper so that people can express their opinion on this and the proposed changes are reconsidered. Yours faithfully, Muhammad Sameed
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a
local
resident of
Bexley
, London writing to express my concerns regarding the suggested
changes
in the bus timetable by the
local
government
. I hope you would publish an editorial regarding the inconveniences these
changes
are going to cause to the
local
people
.

In relation to the proposed
changes
, the authority is planning to
reduce
the
frequency
of the bus on route 25 and 28. The
current
frequency
of the bus is every 20 minutes,
however
, the
local
administration plans to
cut
down the
frequency
to a bus to one in an hour.
Moreover
, the
first
bus will depart at 7. 00 am
rather
than 6. 00 am.

As you can understand, such drastic
changes
to the schedule will
adversely
affect the commuters.
Currently
, I
have to
report to work at 7: 00 am,
therefore
, I board the bus that arrives at 6. 00 am. If the
current
timetable were to
change
, I will face great difficulties in getting to work on time.

In my opinion, the bus
frequency
needs to
be increased
rather
than decreased,
so
that the
travellers
who
have to
leave
for work
before
the sunrise can
be accommodated
in a better way.
Further
, I would suggest that the transport authority should
also
consider replacing the older buses to
improve
the
overall
travel experience.

I hope you will publish my concerns in your newspaper
so
that
people
can express their opinion on this and the proposed
changes
are reconsidered
.

Yours
faithfully
,

Muhammad
