The prolonged queues for gasoline in Tehran have become one of the daily challenges for citizens. The implementation of the fuel identification scheme at gasoline stations, designed to enhance security and regulate fuel consumption in the country, has encountered problems that not only slow down the refueling process but also exacerbate heavy traffic around the stations.
Authentication Issues and One-Time Passwords
The authentication steps required to receive fuel, which involve entering a one-time password and issues related to personal fuel cards, are among the factors contributing to the slowdown of this process. Many drivers face difficulties entering information and are forced to wait for extended periods in queues. This situation not only stresses drivers but also imposes additional time and costs on them.

Impact on Citizens' Daily Lives
The experience of some citizens shows that during peak hours, gasoline queues become so long that some individuals, after spending hours, abandon their attempts to refuel. This issue has created more problems, especially for those traveling on busy routes. Additionally, the increased traffic caused by the accumulation of vehicles around fuel stations will have negative effects on air quality and public health.
Alongside these problems, there are concerns about fuel supply in the coming days. Given that the implementation of this scheme is aimed at organizing and controlling fuel consumption in the country, it may benefit society in the long run, but currently, citizens are facing serious challenges.
Suggestions for Improving the Situation
To alleviate these issues, better planning is needed regarding fuel service delivery and optimizing authentication processes. For example, utilizing modern technologies such as mobile applications to facilitate access to fuel services and reduce waiting times could be beneficial. Additionally, providing necessary training for drivers on how to use fuel cards and the authentication steps could help reduce problems.
Ultimately, it is hoped that officials will consider the arising issues and take necessary measures to improve conditions for citizens so that they can continue their daily lives with greater peace of mind.
