2 PRESENTATION AND USE

2.1. The t+ ticket can be used on the public transport network under the jurisdiction of Île-de-France Mobilités and allows you to travel on:

  • Metro lines 1 to 13, all stations on line 14 except ORLY station, which is in the airport area (specific pricing).
  • The sections in Paris (zone 1) of the RER/train lines.
  • Bus lines that are the subject of an agreement with Île-de-France Mobilités and for which the Ile-de-France fare is applicable.

  • OrlyBus, RoissyBus and OrlyVal
  • The ticket+ does not allow you to enter and exit at Orly station (airport area, specific pricing)

2.3. Use in the metro and RER/train in Paris

In the metro and RER/train in Paris, the t+ ticket allows a journey of one hour and thirty minutes from the time of entry validation. During this period, the following are authorised:

- Matches between the following modes without exiting:

o Metro-metro,

o RER/train-RER/train,

o Metro-RER/train

- The following connections between the metro, the RER and the Transilien by public road, via the signposted paths:

o Porte de Clichy (metro 13) - Porte de Clichy (RER C)

o Porte Maillot (metro 1) - Neuilly-Porte Maillot (RER C)

o Saint-Michel (metro 4) - Saint-Michel Notre Dame (RER B and C)

o Gare d'Austerlitz (metro 5 and 10) - Gare d'Austerlitz (RER C)

In the event of an entry or correspondence validation beyond the period of one hour and thirty minutes, a new t+ ticket will be deducted.

2.4. Use on the bus, tram or Tzen

On buses, trams and Tzen, the t+ ticket allows you to travel to the terminus of the line.

The t+ ticket authorises connections between bus, tram and Tzen for one hour and thirty minutes between the first and last validation.

Return and interruption on the same bus, tram or Tzen line are not allowed with the same t+ ticket.

2.5. The t+ ticket does not allow connections between "metro, RER/train (in Paris)" and "bus, tram, Tzen".

2.6. Transfers between the following modes are therefore not considered as connections between "metro, RER/train (in Paris)" and "bus, tram, Tzen": between the Montmartre funicular and the other modes;

The Account Holder then begins a new journey that closes the previous one. A closed route cannot be resumed.
