What a load of BS. I bet they asked the question in such a way that you would have to say yes. For example if they asked you if you would happily pay $1 if it took half an hour of the time of the trip ofcourse you would asy yes.
Even the online poll says different, click "results"

If people think paying a couple of dollars a day is neither here or there then it won't work to reduce congestion as people will just pay it. If they are serious about reducing congestion then it needs to be up around the $10 to $15 mark.

see the greens opposed the transmission gully project, saying the money would be better spent on trains etc, i dunno what planet they live on but more trains and buses and walking and cycling tracks is not gonna change the fact the the existing road is shit house!

A less than perfect road is a better road if less vehicles are using it.

Totally sympathise with the OP, however, as a non-jafa, I have to say I am happier with paying a toll when I use an Auckland road,than I am having to fund Auckland congestion by paying petrol tax while I live elsewhere in NZ.
