From Morning Report, 8:23 am on 1 December 2020

A proposed congestion charge for motorists in central Auckland is being welcomed by road users who have waited years for a solution to the city's traffic woes.

A levy of $3.50 levy during peak weekday travel is being considered by the government and the council.

It's a system which has worked well in major cities like London and Singapore.

Barney Irvine is a spokesperson for the AA and Chris Carr is the owner of freight company, Carr-Haslam Limited.

They speak to Corin Dann.
