Public transport fares in the Île-de-France

Public transport fares in the Île-de-France are implemented with a mixture of paper and electronic tickets.

Combination and season tickets are aimed at regular travellers and those touring the region, and can be bought for various periods of validity.

Navigo is a smartcard on which passes valid for a day, a week, a month, or a year may be loaded.

Navigo cards are available to people living or working in Île-de-France, and have a photo of the user printed on them.

Navigo Découverte cards are available to everyone at a cost of €5, and must be personalized by attaching a passport sized photograph before being valid for use.

The Paris Visite is an all-day ticket aimed at tourists with four periods of validity: one, two, three or five consecutive days.

It allows unlimited travel within the chosen zones (1–3 or 1–5) on all modes of transport – except the Filéo at Charles de Gaulle Airport, tourist buses, and Le Bus Direct services.

The Carte Solidarité Transport is a discount card for those in great need, those on sickness benefits, those on unemployment benefits, single parents, and those earning the Revenu minimum d'insertion (RMI, a minimum earnings guarantee).

Moreover, residents receiving Revenu de solidarité active (RSA, a form of social welfare) can use all of the road and rail network for free (except the Orlyval).
