The Fare Zones

The RER, Transilien, and express tramway network is spread into different fare zones. When you ride the RER or Transilien train networks, the cost of your trip depends on how many fare zones you travel across. When you buy a travel pass, you must state which fare zones you want when you buy it. (The more fare zones you want, the more expensive it is.)

Important note: Fare zones only matter on the RER, Transilien (suburban train networks) and express tramways. The cost to ride the métro, local tramway, or bus is always the same, regardless on how far you go.

Dezoning

If you have a weekly, monthly, or annual pass that does not include all fare zones, it is dezoned on weekends and holidays, meaning that you can travel in all 5 fare zones on weekends and holidays even if your pass doesn't include all 5 zones.

No dezoning is available with day passes or other travel passes.

5 Things To Remember On The Métro

5 Things to remember when riding the metro, RER, etc. How frustrating can it be when you get a fine for something you didn't even know about? When most visitors ride for the first time, they get the ticket that seems right to them and hopefully get to their destination. That's until - yeah. They're unable to exit the RER because the ticket they purchased wasn't valid. And later, they get the hefty fine for throwing their paper ticket away earlier. Anyways, here are 5 tips to not end up in a situation like that one. 1. Always keep your ticket with you until you exit the station. Very simple. If a fare inspector comes, just show them your ticket and you're good. And why not keep your paper ticket as a souvenir? In a few years, reloadable plastic cards (Navigo Easy cards) will become mandatory as the single-use paper ticket will become obsolete. 2. T+ tickets (métro tickets) cannot be used on the RER when traveling out of Paris I hear about this mistake all the time.
