During the 2024 Olympics, the “repair ticket” will cost €5 on the bus in Paris

The “troubleshooting ticket” will cost €5 on board Parisian buses during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, double the usual price, RATP and Ile-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) indicated on Thursday 9 May 2024.

Users who have not bought a ticket before boarding must buy two tickets for €2.50 from the driver, IDFM confirmed after a publication by the user association FNAUT mentioning such a price.

However, this additional ticket represents only 2% of sales, RATP and the transport authority of the Paris region stressed.

€4 at the counter

Sold at the counter or online, the single ticket will cost less than on the bus, but still €4 from 20 July to 8 September.

The prices of some titles are actually increasing “to finance the reinforcement of +15% of the transport offer during the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, which represents an additional cost of 250 million euros”indicated the president of the IDFM, Valérie Pécresse, in a statement toAFP.

“It is a temporary increase with the sole purpose: not leave any Olympic debt to the citizens of Ile-de-France”stressed Valérie Pécresse.

A “Paris 2024” pass is offered

The train or RER ticket outside Paris will increase to €6 each, while bus tickets to Roissy or Orly will increase to €16. Navigo day and week packages are not sold during this period.

This involves avoiding queues at ticket counters during the Olympics, and making visitors pay in part for the additional transport offered, according to IDFM, which organizes transport in the capital region.

A “Paris 2024” pass is also already on sale, intended for visitors at a price of €16 per day for unlimited travel.

The price of the packages remains unchanged

Regular users of Ile-de-France transport are encouraged to load tickets at the regular price of €2.15 – or €17.35 for ten – before July 20 on the Navigo Easy pass or on their smartphone (up to 30 tickets) .

The price of the packages remains unchanged for holders of an annual or monthly Navigo pass, Imagine R pass, Amethyst pass, as well as recipients of social tariffs, i.e. 5 million users.

Liberté + pass holders (with journeys invoiced at the end of the month) will also continue to pay €1.73 for their individual tickets during the Olympics.
