Connections and routes

A connection occurs when you change lines during your journey. With Navigo Liberté +, you can make as many connections as you want and take several modes of transport.

When you make a connection during your journey with Navigo Liberté +, you pay for a single journey and not 2:

  • Bus / Tram → Bus / Tram:
    €1.60 (€0.80 concessions)
  • Metro / Train / RER / Tram express → Metro / Train / RER / Tram express:
    €1.99 (€0.99 reduced)

Duration of the journeys

  • Departure by Bus/Tram : 1h30 between the first validation and the connection, without interruption and without return.
  • Departure by Metro/Train/RER : 2 hours between the first validation and the connection, without exiting.

Beyond these periods, a new ticket will be automatically counted when the connection is made.

Controlled area: pay only one ride

The controlled area corresponds to the space delimited by the gantries or validation equipment.

Stay in this area to avoid being charged 2 times.

Advice:

  • Follow the signs for connections.
  • Do not use the outputs except to permanently leave the network.

Careful

If you leave the controlled area and re-enter (by re-validating your pass), you will be charged for a new ride.
