It's official! Since Monday, March 3rd, the Orlybus, the bus line connecting Paris to Orly Airport, has been discontinued after 62 years of service. This decision comes after a decline in ridership following the introduction of Metro line 14. However, travelers face two major issues: line 14 is still frequently under construction, and the ticket costs €10.30. However, there is a handy tip to address both challenges!

What if you only spent 2€?
No worries, there's a way to save that 20.60€ you would spend on a round trip to Orly airport. If the bus has been replaced by the metro, the metro is not the only transport option to get to the airport. Other bus routes and especially tram lines also go there, as highlighted by the Figaro. And with the RATP transport fare update on January 1st, a bus or tram ride now costs only 2€ no matter where you’re headed in Île-de-France. If you have a Navigo Liberté + card, this amount drops to 1.60€.
