Where can I buy tickets ?

> Install the app, buy your tickets and validate your journeys with your phone
OR
> Load travel tickets onto a Navigo Easy pass (2€), available for purchase in different points of sale (such as many tobacco stores and newspaper sellers)
OR
> You can still pay for a bus journey on-board (one ticket at a time, no transfer): you need to have the exact change or to obtain a SMS bus ticket (Attention: check the conditions of use beforehand, because this service is not open to everyone).

Cardboard tickets are not sold anymore and will no longer be valid after June 2026.

You can check the various kinds of tickets and the corresponding fares on the Île-de-France Mobilités website.

Two main types of tickets are available: Metro/Train/RER and Bus/Tram.
