How much would you pay to sit in Auckland traffic?

If you've spent any time on Auckland's motorways, you'll know the city's traffic problem is no joke – and one of the big fixes being talked about is charging people to sit in it. The AA has surveyed its Auckland members on time-of-use charging, and while the results show plenty of scepticism, a lot of people back the principle. But only if the scheme is designed fairly and the details are smart enough to actually work. Today on The Front Page, AA policy director Martin Glynn is with us to take us through what congestion charging might look like in future and whether it could finally get Auckland moving.
