The end of paper t+ tickets

  By the end of this year, it will no longer be possible to purchase 10 packs of t+ tickets as paper tickets as part of the modernization of the ticketing system. Instead, you will have to use a reloadable farecard or your phone to buy single-ride tickets. Here are all of your alternatives to this: Why are paper tickets going away? As part of the modernization of the ticketing system, Île-de-France Mobilités (the company that finances transport in the region) launched several new contactless options for occasional travelers. This included reloadable farecards, the ability to pay with your phone, and by automatic payment. Paper tickets were still available at a higher price. Here's how much it costs now: Type of ticket Costs if using paper tickets Costs if using contactless mode of payment 1 t+ ticket 1,90 1,90 10 r+ tickets 16,90 14,90 10 t+ tickets (reduced fare) 8,45 7,45 First, paper tickets are not as eco-friendly (they can only be used once) and because they have a magnetic s

Funiculaire de Montmartre

The Funiculaire de Montmartre (Montmartre Funicular) is an inclined railway going between the top and bottom of a steep hill right next to the Sacré-Cœur cathedral. Find everything about it right here. Cost to ride You can use a regular t+ ticket (either a printed one or loaded on a Navigo card) to pay for the ride. No transfers are available between the funicular and other modes of transportation. This means that if you take the métro to the funicular, you'll need to use another ticket to ride. You can also use a travel pass to pay your fare. Travel passes allow unlimited trips, so transfers between the funicular and other modes of transport are possible. Getting there Abbesses station on métro line 12 and Anvers on line 2 are both about a five minute walk away from the Funicular station at the bottom.

5 Ways to Save Money On Fares

If you feel like you're spending so much money on métro tickets, you may have a cheaper option that you may not know about. Here are 5 ways you can save on fares. 1) Get a Navigo Easy card A book of 10 paper tickets costs 16,90 but when you load 10 tickets on a Navigo Easy card , it only costs 14,90! The Navigo Easy card has a one-time purchase fee of 2,00 meaning that by the second time you purchase a carnet, you’ve already saved 2,00. 2) Buy books of 10 tickets (called carnets). Also don't buy a ticket onboard the bus This one is very obvious, but I'm going to say it anyways. When you buy 10 tickets at once, you get a discount for buying in bulk. 1 ticket is 1,90 but 10 tickets is 14,90 with a card or 16,90 without a card. When you buy a carnet (10 tickets), the price of each individual ticket is only 1,69 or 1,49. That’s all there is to say here! Also, buying a ticket on the bus is more expensive (costing 2,00) than buying a book of 10 t+ tickets (The cost of each indi
