Careful

How do I buy the pass?
There are two options available to you. From the home screen, click on the "Purchase" section at the bottom of the screen:

Tip n°3: Follow the "Trajets Paris 2024"

Our advice?
On D-Day , systematically check your route on the Paris 2024 Public Transport app, before taking public transport.
Why check my routes on the app before I go?
Depending on the traffic and the different events, the best route is not necessarily the one you would have thought of.
