Dear Mayor Yah,
I am a daily commuter who relies on public transportation to travel to and from work
in Changhua City. While I appreciate the efforts of the city government to provide
public transportation services, there are several issues that I would like to bring to
your attention.
Firstly, the traffic congestion problem in the city has become increasingly severe,
resulting in significant delays and long waiting times for commuters like myself. I
often find myself waiting for a long time at the bus stop, only to see multiple buses
arrive at the same time, causing overcrowding and discomfort for passengers.
Secondly, there is no formal schedule for the buses, which makes it difficult for
commuters to plan their journeys. This lack of scheduling also leads to inconsistent
service, with buses arriving irregularly and often leaving before the scheduled time.
Thirdly, some of the bus drivers display rude and unprofessional behavior towards
passengers. They often drive recklessly and ignore traffic rules, putting the safety of
passengers at risk. I have also witnessed instances where drivers have yelled at
passengers for asking questions or requesting to get off at a specific stop.
I believe that these issues are negatively impacting the daily lives of many
commuters in the city. As someone who relies on public transportation, I urge you to
take action to address these concerns.
To alleviate the traffic congestion problem, I suggest exploring the possibility of
introducing more frequent bus services or incentivizing the use of alternative modes
of transportation. Additionally, implementing a formal bus schedule and ensuring that
drivers adhere to safety standards would go a long way in improving the quality of
service provided to commuters.
I hope that you will take my concerns seriously and work towards making positive
changes to the public transportation system in Changhua City. Thank you for your
time and attention.
Sincerely,
Bruce Han
Dear Transportation Company Executives,
As the newly elected Mayor of Changhua City, I would like to extend a warm welcome
to you and your team. We highly appreciate the contribution of your transportation
company to the city's tourism industry over the years. --[1]-- We believe that through
collaboration and discussion, we can create an even better experience for the visitors

We are aware that the transportation companies in our city operate independently
based on the demand of the visitors without a formal schedule. --[2]-- While this has
served well so far, we believe that we can further enhance the quality of service
provided to our visitors by formalizing the transportation schedule.
In view of this, I would like to invite you and your team to attend a meeting with us at
the city hall on August 3. --[3]-- We believe that this meeting will provide an excellent
opportunity for us to exchange ideas and views and chart a way forward.
We believe that your participation and input will be crucial in shaping the future of
transportation in our city. Your attendance at this meeting would be greatly
appreciated and would demonstrate your commitment to the development of our city.
