WhileÎle-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) announced a few weeks ago a new single price for the metro ticketvalid throughout the region, thus passing of €2.15 to €2.50one question remained in everyone’s minds: quid do you pass Navigo? Our colleagues from Parisian looked into the question, and according to their predictions, which we consider entirely plausible, It might not be pretty…
IDFM and the government, friends like pigs
This Thursday, the new government presented to us his finance billtaking the opportunity to reveal potential inflation who awaits us next year : 1.8%. Mathematics experts from Parisian rushed to take out their calculators to establish, using the basic IDFM algorithm, the new price of the Navigo passwhich should come into force from the start of 2025. And the result is clear: on va raquer.
According to forecasts, the Ile-de-France public transport company should set up an increase of €2.40thus increasing the price of the card from 86.40 to 88,80€ ! The annual pass will increase by €26.60, thus increasing to €977. Huge costs therefore, and yet totally possible, since IDFM has the right to increase its prices as long as they respect the rule « inflation +1% »which is absolutely the case.
The answer in a few weeks
For the moment, these figures are obviously only guesses, and we will have to wait the month of December to have an official decision. It is in fact at this moment, and at this moment only, that IDFM will vote a potential increase in the price of the Navigo pass – spoiler alert, it will be yes – and by how many percent. An annual increase which should continue at least until 2031, according to an agreement between the government and the company, to allow the latter to cover its costs.
In the meantime, we can give you 3 tips. First of all, prepare yourself mentallyt to this enormous change, just to not not suffer too much on January 1stwhen you have to take €89 out of your hat for the first time. Secondly, buy an Annual pass in December at the price still in force. At the time, it might hurt, but over the year, This will allow you to save more than €100. To consider. Third, subscribe to a Liberté + subscriptionespecially if you don’t take transport every day. It is the absolute Grail, we cannot repeat it enough.
