So long as gas station attendants' cards are usable, the plan to reintroduce fuel cards cannot be implemented efficiently and transparently, a board member of Al-Zahra University in Tehran said.
"As per the directive issued by the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company, car and motorcycle owners in four mega cities -- Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan and Tabriz -- are obliged to use fuel cards as of August 13. However, they will not comply up until attendants’ cards are removed for good from stations," Mohammad Javad Noforsati told Fars News Agency.
NIORDC has announced that vehicles without a card cannot buy fuel over a certain limit (40 liters) in one day, but the expert says such stopgap measures will not compel vehicle owners to play by the rules and use their own cards, (not at least in the short-term).
