Bengaluru: Social media has become one of the most important tools influencing the society. It can be used to mould opinions, question the government, expose the rot, help the debilitated and seek help to improve one’s life. 

In the latest use of twitter to make life easier and better, a schoolboy from Odisha took full advantage of this fact to draw attention from the transport authorities, reports Scoopwhoop. 

Sai Anwesh Amrutam Pradhan, the student in question, studies in MBS Public School in Bhubaneswar. He was facing a problem in relation to his school bus timings. So he took the help of twitter to bring it to the notice of the department concerned. 

Using Twitter, he filed a complaint about the bus service schedule which makes him late for school every day.  

In his tweet, he tagged the relevant authority to inform him that his school started at 7: 30 am but the first bus on the route would come only at 7: 40 am. 

He wrote, 

Respected Sir, 
       I want to state that I am a student of MBS public school, Bhubaneswar. I use Mo Bus as my daily transportation means to go to school. Nowadays the timing of the buses are changed.
My reporting time at school is sharp at 7:30 AM. But unfortunately the first bus of route no-13 leaves at 7:40 AM from Lingipur. As a result I will be late for my school. And for this reason I am facing a lot of problems.” 

Arun Bothra, the IPS officer gave him a reassuring reply. 

He said, 

Dear Sai

#MoBus moves with love of commuters like you. The timing of your bus will be changed from Monday. The first bus will start at 7 AM. You won't be late for school. 
With affection from entire team of
