A complaint letter

Generalitat 4, 1st 4th

27th February 2016

Mayor's Office

Town Hall, Arenys de Munt

Dear Mr Rabasseda,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposal of raising the bus prices. I realise that raising the prices would improve the salary of drivers and, over time, would improve some things of the vehicle. Even so, a round trip to the next village (about 4 kilometers away) costs 4,30€. I think that it is very expensive. 

First of all, students and young people who do not work have no budget to pay this high price, and less for a short trip. It is true that with a bus card you pay less, but eventually it costs the same.

To make matters worse, buses do not accept bills above 10€, so you have to use coins. 

Public service would have to serve all costumers. With the crisis in crescendo that is in this country, the price of transport is too expensive and, therefore, not everyone can enjoy it.

I strongly urge you to talk with the bus company and try to reduce the bus fare. I suggest to put a bicycle service free or at least cheaper than the bus for the citizens. The service could be connected with the Town Hall of Arenys de Munt and the Town Hall of Arenys de Mar, like the bicycle service of Barcelona called "bicing".

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Marta Linares.
