Truck drivers say it will take more than just congestion charges to address Auckland's traffic woes.  

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown is hoping for practical solutions to traffic after a report found congestion will cost the city 2.6 billion dollars a year by next year.  

The National Road Carriers Association says it supports congestion charges, as long as they're fair. 

But Chief Executive Justin Tighe-Umbers told Andrew Dickens it still needs a second harbour crossing and fixes to council roads.  

He says some parts of the motorway also need to be widened.
