Price of the school transport card:
The pricing of the school bus card works by number of sections, i.e. a distance calculated by Optile and Île-de-France mobilité, between the departure address and the school.
To find out the number of sections corresponding to your child's journey, please contact us.
See below for the rates applied for the 2024-2025 school year
To find out the price for your child's journey, contact us.
Please note that if the final price exceeds €365, your request will be automatically refused.
> The Navigo Imagine'R pass will be more advantageous for you.
Municipal and departmental subsidies:
In order for a subsidy to be applied when subscribing, your municipality must first declare the amount of its contribution to the carrier.
For the municipalities of Val-de-Marne, no subsidy has been declared to our services.
However, we invite you to contact your town hall or the transport department of your local authority in order to take advantage of a possible subsidy.
The Val-de-Marne department also offers a subsidy under certain conditions. We invite you to consult the department's website by clicking here to find out the terms and conditions.
Please note that this departmental subsidy does not apply to the price paid to the carrier when you subscribed. The latter will be requested by you, after receiving your school bus card.
