Everyday users, known as commuters, those who take the train every day to go to work in the Paris region, have been waiting a long time for elected officials to find them a solution to the puzzle concerning their SNCF subscription. Currently, users must pay for a Dreux-Houdan subscription plus a Navigo Pass which allows them to travel in Île-de-France from Houdan. An unbelievable situation which pushes some travelers not to pay for the Dreux-Houdan transport ticket, risking a fine in the event of an inspection by SNCF agents. The presidents of the two Regions came to announce the good news. Things should be sorted out by September 2025.
“Our region is a region of mobility due to its proximity to the Île-de-France region,” noted François Bonneau. “Two subscriptions for the same journey is complicated. Thanks to the work carried out by our two regions, we want to set up a single ticket. The Pass Navigo Rémi. A simplification for users but also for employers who, according to the law, must pay 50% of the price of the home-work ticket. Some travelers were unable to get reimbursed for the Dreux-Houdan part,” continued the elected official. In 2025, the Dreux-Houdan subscription and Pass Navigo will merge into a single ticket: the Navigo Rémi Pass“It will be possible to collect it anywhere in the 750 stations in Île-de-France, including electronically on smartphones,” explained Valérie Pécresse.
A single ticket that is simpler, easier to access, but without a change in price. Currently, the Dreux-Houdan subscription costs €103, this is the price imposed by the Centre-Val de Loire Region, to which is added the €83 of the Navigo Pass price of the Ile-de-France Region. The total monthly amount remains unchanged at €189.. No downward price changes are planned. “We have already made a significant investment by halving the contribution requested from commuters in the Centre-Val de Loire region, since their subscription has gone from €220 to €103. A difference that we are covering,” recalled François Bonneau. It is estimated that 7,000 people travel to work in the Paris region every day from stations on the Dreux-Paris line.
