1/ It is not a GASOLINE crisis, it is a TRANSPORT crisis. Sooner the better, all subsidy to gasoline consumed by private cars should abolished. Gradually, gasoline pump price should cover also fully the externalities associated with it. Its full cost on society.

2/ The externalities include congestion, pollution, noise, deterioration of pavement etc. Funds that were for years wasted on gasoline subsidies were mostly(55%) benefitted from by the upper 25% higher income people, and only 6% by the lowest 25% income people. #عدالة_التنقل
Gasoline subsidies (and more) should be instead allocated to organised PUBLIC TRANSPORT, that will be the choice of most and not only that of captive riders. Until this is achieved, the current informal transport(servees,vans) should be subsidised. BUT concurrently regulated too.
