Fair fuel price policy suggested

From Koran Tempo

With the planned fuel price increase shortly, I would like to
suggest a fair fuel price policy by following the principle of
price differentials.

Higher fuel prices should be paid for the comfort of excessive
fuel consumption by the high income group, whereas low income
people should not bear the burden of fuel price increase.

Public transport and two-wheel motor vehicles should not be
subjected to any withdrawal of fuel subsidies; private car owners
should shoulder the load instead.

The abolition of fuel subsidies and their transfer to the
education and health sectors, however, are likely to become empty
slogans if there is no auditing of the funds, which are likely to
disappear.

The absence of general price hikes, the increased use of
public transport, and a relief to traffic congestion will be the
measurable effect of a reduced use of private cars, while
maintaining fuel prices for low-income groups.
