Navigo Easy is a new, prepaid Paris travel card open to tourists and residents, replacing Paris Metro tickets starting* June 12, 2019, available from any Metro/RER/Transilien ticket office. Continue below to learn more about this new preloaded Paris Metro ticket card.
Navigo Easy costs for the card fee, plus however many tickets you’d like to load onto the card. Here are the fares you can load onto the new Navigo Easy card:
- Single Paris Metro tickets (1.90€ each, up to 30 max)
- “booklets” of 10 Metro tickets (14.90€ per booklet of 10. Maximum of 3 booklets or 30 Metro tickets on the card at any one time.)
- Orlybus ticket for Orly airport to Paris Denfert-Rochereau station (8.30€ )
- Roissybus ticket for CDG Airport to Paris Opéra station (12€ )
- Navigo Day Pass (one day maximum, for 1-2 zone, 1-5 zone)
- Youth Weekend Pass (Ticket Jeunes, age 25 & under, for Sat/Sun/holidays, 4.10€ for 1-3 zone, 8.95€
- Antipollution ticket (3.80€, unlimited rides for all 5 zones on Paris Metro, Bus, Noctilien (night bus), RER, Tram, Transilien trains, but only available during days when air pollution is particularly high. OrlyVal train from Antony-Orly is excluded.)
- Music Festival pass (forfait fête de la musique) – (3.50€ unlimited travel pass for Metro, Bus, RER, Tram, Noctilien (night bus), Transilien trains from 5PM Thursday – 7AM Friday morning, available only during the music festival.)
Note that you can load 30 Metro tickets, in addition to the other fares such as Orlybus / Roissybus / Navigo Day Pass, at the same time. While the Navigo Day Pass is active, it will be the first to be used prior to any single-use ticket, as long as the appropriate zone coverage is met.
Navigo Easy Day Pass
You cannot load more than one Navigo Day Pass onto Navigo Easy at any one time. To use Navigo Day Pass for multiple days using Navigo Easy, you need to return to a Navigo recharge vending machine or any Metro/RER ticket counter each day to recharge the card with another Navigo Day Pass.
Sharing Navigo Easy
The Navigo Easy card can be shared between travelers, but not for the same trip at the same time. (You can’t do a pass-back of the card through a turnstile for another person to use.) Paris Metro tickets are good for 2 hours of travel & transfers between lines from the time of validation at a turnstile/gate. While the Navigo Easy card has a validated ticket it essentially cannot be shared; using it at another turnstile that is not part of a transfer (i.e. exiting a station and entering again at another) will consume another Metro ticket from the tickets stored on Navigo Easy.
* Paris Metro paper coupon tickets are still available and usable after June 12, 2019. The paper based single-use Paris Metro coupon-style tickets are being phased out slowly. The end of paper Metro ticket sales is currently targeting summer to end of 2020. There’s no word on when existing Metro tickets will stop being accepted for travel, but likely much later than 2020.a
