I dare say it could help the rest of the country, its like parking meters.. its all relative.

Parking 1 hour in akl CBD 6 bucks
Parking 1 hour in ham 60 Cents

Toll in Akld $2
Toll in say Hamilton 75 Cents.

I rekon $1.80 is too much. I cross the Harbour Bridge at least 8 times a day! Imagine what that would cost ($14.40) a day.

I rekon we pay enough in rego and other things. In South Africa a car just has to be WOF`d once, here its every six months.

And in the news I heard that we pay one of the highest mobile call rates, whats up with that??

the price was just A Number, i dont know what it Would be but it was better than saying X.

If its for a company theyd pay it not you 20V and if you drive that daily for fun. your a silly man.

In that case it would only be twice a day :oops:

And even if it was only $1 thats still $10 a week. It costs me allmost $10 a day to get to work and back. And a hour sitting in traffic each way

But I work for a small company (4 people) and I can see that it would affect pay as we wouldnt do as many jobs over the bridge as we do

I'd consider paying for an inner city toll, like many cities in the world do. Also for newly developed roads...but not existing things.
Cant believe im still a member here.

Pfffft.. it's proportional. 80% of the population live in auckland, 80% of the roading budget goes to auckland. Easy.

I'd pay tolls if it meant getting places quicker and dodging traffic.
