Queuing up at petrol pumps for hours with their motorbikes, taxis and buses for few liters of petrol/diesel has become a part of people's life.They are forced to stand sometimes almost a day and even spend nights at the pump to fuel their vehicles. This drastic shortage in fuel has not only created anger and frustration in the citizens but has created chaos on essential public transport services and hospitals ,ambulance services,fire brigade services etc.
Here are few pictures that show the real scenario of the crisis . I took them from the nearby petrol pump .There are lot more to be seen all over the city.
The petrol pump is still closed as they have no petrol to distribute .
The drivers are still waiting for the petrol station to open for fuel distribution .
wow!! the petrol tanker has now arrived . Would a single tanker suffice all of them ? And the answer is a big "NO". The early comer are lucky today and the rest should still continue waiting may be till another tanker arrives .But when .. no answer .
Hundreds of taxis queuing up at the petrol pump to fuel up their taxis.
The day is about to come to an end and the people are still there waiting . How hectic .
The number of vehicles increases and increases . There is no sign of ending this queue.How long does is go like this ? Does not this now be taken seriously by our government ?

World-wide fuel crisis will cause innovatative discoveries for new energy sources to speed up, and replace the old ways of doing things. Even tho it is big problem right now, as it is where I live too. I think that we will be able to look back on this time, and see that it forced the "new" to happen.
Great photos!
man thats sad! even here in india we have fuel shortage, but it's not as fierce as in your place.. imagine having to wait in the sun all day just to fill your tank! how terrible!
In response to the government needing to find a solution, or alternate methods, check this out:

Here in Australia many people are complaining because the price of fuel has increased dramatically. I wonder how many would complain if they saw these pictures. The price may be high but we never have to queue up like this. It may not be too long before we do. You are right about alternative energy sources; the problem is we have put off investigating alternatives for much too long. As the crisis intensifies, we will realise we have done too little too late.
