Transport in Île-de-France: end of the cardboard ticket, make way for simplicity!
From April 8, 2025, paper tickets will begin their last journey in 142 stations in Île-de-France.
A gradual transition that will give passengers time to use their last tickets before they completely cease to be valid.
For your occasional trips: several practical solutions
Since January 1, 2025, pricing has been simplified with only two types of tickets: the metro-train-RER ticket at €2.50 and the bus-tram ticket at €2. To use them, you have three options:
1. Do you live or work in Île-de-France? Use Navigo Liberté +, the practical and economical service
Have you heard of Navigo Liberté +? This is the service that allows you to travel anywhere in Île-de-France, at a preferential rate, using all modes of transport and without recharging :
- Practical : validate your pass and pay on the 15th of the following month, only for the journeys made
- - 20% on the price of journeys : with Navigo Liberté + you can travel by metro/train/RER for €1.99 (compared to €2.50) and €1.60 for bus/tram journeys (compared to €2)
- Always valid : without recharging, travel throughout the region without constraints
2. Another option, the Navigo Easy pass
It is becoming the reference solution for all occasional travellers looking for a physical medium to validate their journeys. This rechargeable pass offers many advantages:
