A few months ago, Île-de-France Mobilités finally decided to abandon its plans for free transport during the Games. But guess what? It gets even more interesting! The company also decided to double the price of a regular ticket. Thankfully, as this cheerful time — transport prices aside — comes to a close, the ticket price is set to change once again.

We had to wait (and dip into our savings) for almost 2 months before we could finally get back to a normal situation. Since July 20, 2024, the metro ticket price has really gone up, jumping from 2.15 to 4€, but there’s some good news as we can look forward to a price drop as soon as next week!


A return to normal, yes, but at what cost ?

Back in November last year, the wonderful Valérie Pécresse, President of IDFM, announced a price increase for public transport during the Olympics. Since then, there's been quite a buzz about whether the price will really drop back down to 2.15€ afterward, or if this big price jump will help the group soften the blow later on if there’s a small fare change.

Great news for all Paris metro users who haven't yet discovered all the perks of a Navigo Pass or, even better, Liberté +! It's official: starting this Monday September 9, the price of a single ticket will return to €2.15, and not a penny more. Plus, the carnet will now be just €17.35, down from €32 for the entire duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.


Just like before

The special tickets, like those for the Roissybus and the Orlybus, will also revert to their pre-Games prices, which are €14.50 and €10.30. And for those considering long-term stays, the Navigo Passes Day, Week, and Visit, which haven’t been available for purchase this summer, are making a comeback!

 Thanks to special rates on certain routes, these will return, much to the delight of tourists.

This past Monday, September 9th, brought a fantastic reason to celebrate: the reopening of the last station that was still closed! While the stops Concorde and Tuileries have already opened their doors to the public on the first day of school, Champs-Elysées-Clemenceau (lines 1 and 13) will finally swing open next Monday. It's a joyful return to normalcy, which truly signifies the end of the Games in the capital.
