Getting Around at night

The regular public transport system operates from 5 AM to 1 AM. From 12:30 AM to 5:00 AM, the Noctilien night bus system is in operation. 

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)

  • 2-digit bus routes and bus route N135 require one t+ ticket
  • 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
  • All travel passes allow unlimited rides, so you can transfer as many times as you want
  • On-board bus tickets (tickets bought on the bus) do not allow any transfers

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.
