The year 2025 is fast approaching, and with it, major changes for transport in Île-de-France. Ile-de-France residents hesitate between anticipation and resignation in the face of a price increase which leaves no one indifferent.
Metro tickets: an increase that is causing debate
The new public transport prices in the Ile-de-France region, planned for January 2025, raise many questions. The price of the metro ticket will rise to 2.50 euros, marking a significant increase compared to the current rate of 2.15 euros. For regular users, this has a direct impact on their budget.
In addition to the individual ticket, the Navigo subscription, a pillar for Ile-de-France residents, is not immune to this inflation: it will go from 86.40 euros to 88.80 euros per month. While these adjustments aim to standardize and simplify pricing, they raise concerns about their accessibility.
Despite this announced increase, solutions exist to limit the impact on your wallet. Until December 31, 2024, it is still possible to buy T+ ticket books at the old price of 1.73 euros each. These tickets will be valid until the end of 2025, offering a unique opportunity to save on your travel.
To do this, several options are available to you: the Navigo Easy card, available for 2 euros, allows you to store dematerialized tickets or even purchasing via smartphone. Be careful, however, of the imposed limit of 30 tickets per card.
Alternatives to the traditional notebook
The gradual abandonment of the book of ten tickets in paper version signals a digital transformation of transport in the Ile-de-France region. From now on, dematerialized solutions like the Liberté+ pass are gaining popularity. The latter allows you to benefit from slightly reduced prices, with tickets at 1.99 euros for the metro and RER and 1.60 euros for buses and trams.
For fans of new technologies, the Île-de-France Mobilités application offers a practical interface for managing your travel.
From 2025, the single ticket concept will simplify journeys: metro, RER and trains will uniformly cost 2.50 euros, while buses and trams will cost 2 euros. If this standardization facilitates the travel of tourists and occasional travelers, it could disadvantage regular users of short intramural journeys.
In the meantime, one thing is certain: time is running out for those who wish to anticipate and preserve their purchasing power. With the announced disappearance of paper notebooks, 2025 will mark an important page in the history of transport in Île-de-France.
