A collaborative work of art to say goodbye to the t+ ticket book

To be able to watch this video, you should

We've been preparing for it since autumn 2021 and the time has come: it's time to say goodbye to the cardboard t+ ticket books and to give pride of place to the Liberté+ (nominative) and Easy (non-nominative and transferable) passes.

Why put an end to the cardboard t+ ticket book?

For the past three years, Île-de-France Mobilités has been modernising and dematerialising your transport tickets. The aim is to make your life easier with a range of passes and subscriptions that are better suited to the needs and lifestyles of all travellers.

It is also to preserve the environment, the dematerialization of transport tickets makes it possible to avoid the use of millions of cardboard tickets that are often thrown on the ground... And when you know that a ticket takes between one and two years to degrade, you understand the importance of gradually doing without it.

Celebrating the end of the t+ ticket book

This is why Île-de-France Mobilités, RATP and Transilien SNCF have come up with a joint operation to say goodbye, all together, and especially with you, around a collaborative AND monumental work of art.

A work that will be created before your eyes, in the heart of the Saint-Lazare train station in Paris, by the street artist Madame. A work made up of used t+ tickets that you will have left in dedicated collectors, installed in ten stations in Île-de-France.

Discovering Madame

Madame is a street artist from the Ile-de-France region who likes to compose very contemporary works from elements from the past: engravings, old papers, wood, fabrics... Materials that allow him to compose collages that show a dialogue between text and image.

Madame first worked in small format and volume, in the intimacy of her studio, before transposing her creations into large posters that she put up in the street. And, tomorrow, in the heart of the Saint-Lazare train station, thanks to your t+ tickets!
