"This equity stuff is bollocks": Thats the verdict of Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown when it comes to introducing congestion charges to the city.
The council's meeting tomorrow to discuss whether to bring in so called "time of use charges" for some of Auckland's busiest roads.
It would cost drivers between $3.50 to $5 per trip during peak times.
Congestion costs the city an estimated $1.3 billion a year.
But there is concern the charges will hit the worse-off the hardest.
Speaking on Morning Report, the mayor's clearly not a fan of taking the idea back to rate payers.
Auckland Councillor Alf Filipaina speaks to Lisa Owen.
