Dear City Council

I know that you are considering two options. One option is to reduce fares for subways and buses that are a great deal for people who are lower and middle income. The other option, which is even better, is to improve service by providing more frequent subways and buses. Improving service of subways and buses will get more people to be commuters. People will get to work on time, have time to relax, and will feel secure.

Improving service by providing more frequent subways and buses causes people be on time to work. One reason that makes people not want to commute is that people are waiting too long for the subways and buses. They wait subways and busses for more than 15 minutes. People are worried if they would be late to work. That’s why people choose to take a cap instead the subways. By increasing frequent subways and buses, people can be on time or early to work.

The other reason by providing more frequent subways and buses is safety. Waiting the subways and buses at night is dangerous. People might get robbed while they are waiting for subways and buses. My friend gets robbed while he waits the subway in the station after work. The more frequent subways and buses would lessen the chance that would be victimized. Providing frequent subways and buses will make people not worry about the time and safety. Therefore, it would encourage them to commute.

Improving service by providing more frequent subways and buses not only can save time and give safety, but also give people a good time to relax on their trip. Crowded subways and buses are considerable inconvenience. Because of the delay subways and busses, it makes queue in the station and when subways and buses are coming, people try to get in to subways and buses at once. Last time on my way to school, I saw a pregnant woman got push by people, who tried to get in to the crowded subway. The woman was screaming because she got push to her belly. For that reason people prefer not to use public transportation. And also people want to enjoy the morning by reading the news paper and want to get some work done during the trip. And they can’t do that if the subways and buses are crowded. Frequent subways and buses will mitigate the problem of overcrowding.

Providing frequent subways and buses will make people more convenience, bring safety to people who are waiting for subways and buses and make people to be on time to work. And we will be able to increase the number of commuters with public transportation if subways and buses operate more efficiently.
