7G, Sonia Apartment,
 Rainbow colony,
 M.G.Road, Dharavi,
 Mumbai:- 400 016.
  7th March 2014 
 
To,
The Manager,
The Local Bus Depot
Vasai Roar, 
                    Subject:     Inconvenience caused due to very few and lack of timely bus service.
 
Respected sir, 
              I am a student of ‘The General English High School’, Dharavi and make use of the bus service on a regular basis for going to and coming from school. I would like to bring to your attention that in the morning there is a big crowd and most of them choose to travel from taxis,  ‘Ola’,  ‘Uber’ etc. But everyone cannot afford that much of huge traveling cost. Students who belong to the weaker economic section of society need the bus service as we cannot afford to travel by private vehicles.
 
              The bus service provided by the State Transport bus service is very poor. Most of the time the buses are late and since the number is less, the crowds make a mad rush to get in without observing discipline. Many junior college students and passengers find it a herculean task to board these buses.
                          My kind request is to inform the authorities to increase the number of bus service in the morning on this route and see that they ply in time. 
 
                                                                                                                                          Thanking You,                                                                                                                                                     Yours Faithfully     
                                                                                                                                                   XYZ
