Write a letter to The Chief Officer, Road Transport Authorities, drawing his attention to the problem of frequent traffic jams in your locality suggesting some solutions for the problem.

Flat no 204, Rainbow Colony,
M.G. Road, Chembur,
Mumbai – 400043.

To,

The Chief Officer,
Road Transport Authorities,
Traffic Headquarters,
Chembur,
Mumbai- 400043.

Subject: Complaint regarding reckless driving by youngsters

Dear Sir/Madam,
I reside in Chembur, a locality that has wide roads and the hard surface of a road or street. Unfortunately, our locality has become a potential danger zone because of the growing instances of traffic jams. We know that the number of vehicles on the roads is on the rise and that there is no proportional increase in the number of roads. So, traffic jams are bound to happen.

It stretches one’s tolerance to the ultimate limit when buses and autos on this busy roadshow an appalling disregard for any kind of traffic law. I strongly suggest, on behalf of the residents of this neighborhood, request you.
deploy a few such officers on this road, to bring this situation under check. Otherwise, there is every chance that our locality will become an accident-prone – zone, where ordinary and innocent citizens will have to think twice before stepping out of their houses.

Thanking you

Yours Faithfully,
ABC.

To,
The Manager,
The Local Bus Depot
Vasai Roar,

Mumbai 400043

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 crows make a mad rush to get in without observing discipline. Many junior college students and passengers find it a difficult 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 run in time.

Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
XYZ
