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!
