Answer:

To,

The Editor
The Statesman
5, Chowrasta Square,
Kolkata – 700793

Subject: Concerns Over Reckless Driving of Public Vehicles

I am writing to express my deep concern about the escalating issues commuters face due to the reckless driving of public vehicles in our city. The safety of passengers is paramount, and it is disheartening to witness a growing number of incidents caused by irresponsible driving.

Commuters are subjected to harrowing experiences daily, with drivers ignoring traffic rules, overspending, and endangering lives. It is high time authorities take strict measures to ensure public transportation adheres to safety standards.

We urge the relevant authorities to implement stringent regulations, regular driver training, and rigorous enforcement of traffic laws to protect the well-being of commuters. Only through collective efforts can we make our city’s public transportation system safer for everyone.

Your Sincerely,
