Read this paragraph aloud and notice how monotonous it sounds. Then revise it so that sentence lengths and structures are more varied. Note also when a word or phrase is repeated too often.
Regional Coach Lines (RCL) runs bus service between several cities in three states. RCL also carries freight for several regional businesses. RCL's financial statements have reported poor profits for several years. Poor profits were caused by increased costs of operations including fuel costs, labor costs, and other costs. Increased costs caused RCL to increase passenger fares and freight prices. These increases caused passenger and freight volume to decrease drastically. Therefore, 2014 was a disastrous year for RCL. Preliminary information shows RCL is on the verge of bankruptcy.
