## Táchira Gasoline Distribution: A Conversation with [Guest Name]
**Interviewer:** Hello and welcome back to the show. Today we’re discussing the new gasoline distribution system rolled out in Táchira state. Joining us is [Guest Name], a [Guest Profession/Affiliation] with expertise on fuel accessibility issues in the region.
[Guest Name], thank you for being here.
**Guest:** It’s my pleasure.
**Interviewer:** Can you give our viewers a rundown of the new system? What are the key changes being implemented?

Additionally, access will be restricted by the last digit of the vehicle’s licence plate, which will be randomly assigned each week [[1](https://eldiario.com/2021/05/17/nuevo-metodo-para-surtir-gasolina-en-tachira/)].
**Interviewer:** This is a significant departure from the previous system, isn’t it? What prompted these changes?
**Guest:** It seems these measures are aimed at managing the long queues and shortages that have plagued Táchira’s gas stations. The government is attempting to create a more organized and equitable distribution system, but it remains to be seen how effective this will be.
