Bolivia defends diesel subsidy removal, cites 80% of public fleet not diesel-dependent

Bolivia's government, citing YPFB and ANH data, claims 80.3% of public transport vehicles run on gasoline, GNV, or a mix, justifying the removal of the diesel subsidy due to fiscal cost and market distortions. The claim is partially corroborated by official data but lacks independent verification. This matters as subsidy removal could raise transport costs and fuel prices, affecting inflation and public sentiment.
