History

In 1900, a second-class Paris Métro ticket cost 15 centimes of the old franc, and a first-class ticket 25 centimes. In 1960, it cost 37 centimes of the new franc. Six hundred million Métro tickets were sold that year, an average of around 1,500 a minute.[15]

In 1991, first class was abolished on the Métro, and in 1999 on the rest of the railway network in Île-de-France.[16]

  • MP 59 in 1964: first class in yellow and second class in blue
  • MS 61 in 1982: First class section with yellow detailing

In 1991, the public transport network of STIF (as Île-de-France Mobilités was then known) was divided into 8 zones. On 1 July 2007, zones 7 and 8 were merged into zone 6. On 1 July 2011, zone 6 was merged into zone 5. This was done to reduce transportation costs for residents of outer suburbs. On 11 February 2015, STIF voted to discontinue passes covering zones 1–2, 1–3, and 1–4, leaving only passes covering all zones (and passes covering only zones outside zone 1). The price of a monthly pass for zones 1-5 was lowered from €116.50 to €70 (which was the price of the monthly pass for zones 1-2 prior to the change). On 1 January 2025, new single tickets were introduced that are valid for all zones (except for the airports), thus abolishing the zone system.

In 2025, paper tickets were abolished and replaced entirely by the Navigo card.[17]

Since November 2025, select bus journeys can be validated using a CB, Mastercard or Visa card, including those in a digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay.[18]
