I oppose the proposed congestion charging
I oppose the proposed congestion charging. Are you prepared to pay $5 per trip to work or school? Up to $50 per week?
The Mayor and the Government are working on introducing a charge that is supposed to reduce congestion, but will actually punish North Shore drivers and their families just trying to get to work on time. Most workers do not have the flexibility to change their working hours - to start late or work from home for an hour or two before travelling to work. And North Shore workers have less ability to avoid congestion than other parts of Auckland.
There is no guarantee that this tax will be used to improve public transport, and simply imposing another tax will not alleviate congestion. If we really want to relieve congestion in Auckland, a better option would be to make all public transport free or as close to free as possible.
