Auckland's PT is excellent getting in and out of and through the CDB, which is where the the congestion charges would apply.
Reducing congestion makes everyone who actually needs to drive a vehicle to/from/for work lives' easier.
It's still regressive, like any flat tax, in that the charge will impact lower incomes more. That can be alleviated by moving marginal tax rates to compensate.
