1 Dear Editor:

I’m sick and tired of the traffic in this city! It is so bad

that I can never get anywhere on time. There are too many

4 cars on the road, and most of them have only one person in

them. Another problem is the buses. They are so old and slow

that nobody wants to take them. They are noisy and very dirty.

7 You can’t even see out the windows! Also, the taxi drivers are

rude. They never know where they are going, and they take a

long time to get someplace. Taxis are expensive, too. And the

10 subway is just too crowded and dangerous. What are we going

to do?
