I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the routes: the
number 49 and the number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road. It is always
full, so I can"t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49 because sometimes there are empty seats in
it. The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is
true, why do I have to wait half an hour for a us nearly every day?
The rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people
are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop. The
rules say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday
I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got
off. There were 129 people.
It is clear that our bus companies break the rules and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be
done to make your service better?
B. a talk
C. a story
D. a letter
B. it is not always full
C. it travels faster
D. it has fewer seats on it
B. One hour
C. Half an hour

B. forty
C. sixty
D. one hundred and twenty-nine
B. no passengers took their buses
C. no buses except the No.49 bus passed Souk Road
D. the writer was always the first to get on the bus
