What is the cohabitation of transport tickets?

On the Île-de-France Mobilités public transport network, different transport tickets and media to use them exist.

"Cohabitation" is the possibility of using different tickets or transport passes on a single device (your phone, a connected watch or a Navigo Easy pass, for example).

Why can't some titles coexist on the same medium?

When two tickets are valid for the same journey, the validator does not know which one to use first. To avoid any confusion at the time of validation, titles likely to enter into competition cannot be loaded on the same medium.

Any doubts? Check the compatibility of your tickets on this page

Our tips to simplify your journeys

© Sylvain HOMO

Paris Region <> Airports ticket, keep it on a separate stand.

To simplify your life and avoid incompatibilities, we advise you to use a dedicated support for this title.

⚠️ Some titles are not accessible on all media or available on all sales channels

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

Your pass will always have priority over a ticket

If you have a single ticket and a package on the same device, the package will always be validated first.

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 and your Metro-Train-RER ticket will not be consumed.

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:

The number of different types and volume of securities on the same medium

The Navigo Easy can load 2 different types of tickets simultaneously: a maximum of 20 Bus-Tram tickets and a maximum of 20 Metro-Train-RER tickets.

Once you reach the maximum capacity on the same medium, you will no longer be able to load titles.

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 and reduced rate at the same time.

The area of your ticket

Securities loaded on the same medium must cover compatible areas 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 Navigo Week 2 zone pass on your pass or phone and wish 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 this case?
The solution is to use a new medium to buy your second title or 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: if you have a Navigo Month pass for all zones ending on Tuesday 31 and you wish to anticipate by buying a Navigo Week for all zones valid from Monday 30, the purchase will not be possible on the same medium, as the two tickets share a day of common validity.
