Abstract
In 2022, the Ministry of Power and Energy in Sri Lanka launched the National Fuel Pass – a QR code-based system to tackle the ongoing and ever worsening queues for purchase fuel in Sri Lanka. This system requires those signing up to use a smartphone, or an internet accessible device to register for the service. However, only 78% of the vehicle owning households own such internet accessible devices and are at risk of being left behind.
