Soldiers, policemen operate fuel stations to reduce queues in Bali
Fuel distribution has run more smoothly since Saturday, following the introduction of an odd-even policy for vehicles buying subsidized Pertalite gasoline.
Soldiers and policemen have been deployed to fuel stations in Bali to manage queues and address fuel shortages, according to The Jakarta Post. The introduction of an odd-even policy for vehicles buying subsidized Pertalite gasoline has helped reduce queues at fuel stations across the island, though some areas, such as Buleleng and Jembran regencies, still experience long lines.
The policy, implemented on Saturday, has led to positive developments on the first day, with queues at several fuel stations gradually shortening. Authorities hope that the reduced queues will contribute to smoother road traffic and allow fuel tanker trucks to travel more efficiently from fuel terminals to stations.
