What is the cohabitation of transport tickets?

On the Île-de-France Mobilités public transport network, there are various transport tickets and media to use them.

"Cohabitation" is the possibility or not of using different tickets or transport passes on the same medium (your phone, a connected watch or a Navigo Easy pass for example).

In other words, the possibility of buying a title or a plan on a pass, a phone or a connected watch when there is already a title or a plan on it.

Why do some titles compete and cannot coexist on the same medium?

If two tickets are valid for the same journey, the validator does not know which one to use first. For this reason, two titles that could compete at the time of validation cannot be loaded on the same medium.

Our tips to simplify your journeys

© Sylvain HOMO

1- t+ and Paris Région <> Aéroports tickets, keep them on a separate stand

To make your life easier, we advise you to keep these two titles on separate media. The t+ ticket, which is set to disappear at the end of 2025, and the Paris Region <> Airports, compete with a large number of tickets, so it is more convenient to keep them on a separate Navigo Easy or on your phone if you are used to using a Navigo Easy.

2 - Please note that not all titles are available for purchase and storage on all sales channels and all media

Be sure to check that the ticket you wish to buy is available on the device of your choice (phone, connected watch, Navigo Easy pass) or on sale on the sales channel you have chosen (phone, ATM)

3 - Be careful, a pass will always have priority over a ticket

If you buy, on the same device, a single ticket and a ski pass, the ski pass will always be validated first. In the event that you buy a Metro-Train-RER ticket and a Paris Visite Pass that you only want to use from the next day, be careful.

This rule works with the exception of all packages whose validity is dated. Indeed, if you buy a Navigo Day pass, it will only be valid and priority on the chosen date. If you have a Metro-Train-RER ticket on the same device, it will not be used as long as your Navigo Day pass is valid.

How do I know if two tickets can compete on the same medium?

The purchase of a security on a medium is authorized according to:

Available space

Is there enough space on your pass, phone or watch to accommodate a new ticket? On each medium, you can load a predefined number of different titles and title types.

The Navigo Easy, for example, can load 2 different tracks simultaneously. But each of the tickets can be loaded a certain number of times itself (you can load up to 20 Bus-Tram tickets and 20 Metro-Train-RER tickets).

Once the number of different types of titles has been reached or the maximum number of tickets per title has been reached, you will no longer be able to load titles on your media.

Example:

  • A Navigo Easy support can accommodate 2 different types of tickets
  • A phone or a connected watch, 4 types of securities

The traveller profile

Is your ticket compatible with your traveller profile? One support = one traveler profile.

If you have a full fare, you cannot buy tickets with a reduced fare on the same vehicle. You cannot be a beneficiary of a full fare and a reduced fare at the same time.

The area of your ticket

The travel zones to which the tickets on the same medium give access must be compatible in order to coexist.

To be compatible, two titles must:

  • Have complementary travel areas
  • Have different travel areas
  • All-zone passes and all-zone single tickets are not compatible (except for the Bus-Tram ticket)

Example n°1 : You have a Navigo Week 2 zone pass and wish to buy a Navigo Day All Zone pass. The purchase did not work, the two titles allowed access to common areas and competed.

Example n°2 : You have a t+ ticket and want to buy a Metro-Train-RER ticket. The purchase will not work, the two titles allow access to common areas and also compete.

Example n°3 : You have a Navigo Week 2 zone pass on your pass or phone and want to buy a Metro-Train-RER ticket for all zones. Here again, the areas of validity of the two titles are in competition.

What to do?
In these cases of incompatibility, the solution is to use a new medium to buy your second title or to use the title on your medium before buying a new one.

Of its validity period

Tickets can:

  • Have the same validity period, but different geographical coverage
  • Or a different validity period

Example 1: If you have a Navigo Month all-zone pass ending on Tuesday 31 and you wish to anticipate by buying a Navigo Week all-zones valid from Monday 30, the purchase will not be possible on the same medium, as the two tickets share a common day of validity.
