Dear Sir,
I would like to put your glance on the poor management of your
bus
company which has caused a lot of inconvinience
in
my last trip. I had a trip from Vancouver to Port coquitlam on sunday
3rd of august at 1 pm for an urgent meeting by the bus
from your company but
the bus
service is not managed in a timely manner.Bus
was delayed by 1 hour from the time mentioned in the schedule. However, after arriving at the station
driver
waited for more 15 minutes for another driver to board as he was supposed to be covering the shift from there. While waiting for the bus
i
missed my crucial meeting and had to face a big loss.It was really frustrating as well as not acceptable from a reputed
bus
company like yours. These issues needs
to be resolved and escalated to the head office to take a strict action and avoid this to happen
again in future. Thank you for the consideration.Sincerely,
Kirti
