Auckland cautiously welcomes congestion charge plan

A congestion charge for private vehicles heading through busy central areas of Auckland has been generally welcomed by organisations like the Auckland Chamber of Commerce and Greater Auckland transport experts.

Some Auckland residents are wary about the prospect, and hope it could replace the regional fuel levy.

Drivers could soon pay as much as $7 a day to arrive and leave the city during peak hours.
