Noctilien Fares

All daily, weekly, and monthly passes are accepted on the Noctilien network. You can also use t+ tickets which let you pay per ride.

Use t+ tickets or on-board bus tickets (pay per ride)

  • All other night bus routes require 2 t+ tickets
  • You can also buy a bus ticket directly on board the bus (at a higher price). The number of tickets you need to validate is the same as t+ tickets (explained above). Tickets bought on board the bus do not allow any transfers to other buses.

Use a travel pass (unlimited pass)

  • Navigo daily, weekly, and monthly passes are accepted
  • Navigo annual and imagine R passes are accepted (for Île-de-France residents)
  • Mobilis and Paris Visite tickets are accepted.

Transfers between night buses

  • T+ tickets allow transfers between night buses
