During the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, traffic could be significantly impacted throughout the capital. Whether on foot, on public transport or in a vehicle, you will have to take the necessary measures. Among the solutions, a new application.
A dedicated application to facilitate travel
Called Public Transport Paris 2024, this application, which should be released next May on iOS and Android, will allow users to travel more easily. The app available in six languages will indicate “real-time distribution of spectators” to anticipate the best possible route. Google Maps and Apple Plans could provide support, with negotiations underway on this subject.
In addition to Public Transport Paris 2024, Valérie Pécresse, president of the Île-de-France region and Île-de-France Mobilités, announces 300 buses, or one per minute, which can be taken for free. There will also be public transport for the last mile. People with disabilities and accompanying persons will have access to dedicated shuttles from Parisian stations. The price will be €4 with a reservation.
To avoid public transport, 200 Véligo electric bikes will be made available in addition to those already in circulation. The subscription will be paid.
As for the famous Paris 2024 Pass, it will be integrated into the Paris 2024 Public Transport, Île-de-France Mobilités applications and partner apps. You can also go through the site for home delivery; the package will be loaded onto a Navigo Easy in physical format.
This Paris 2024 Pass gives access to the venues of the Olympic and Paralympic competitions in Île-de-France and to Orly and Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airports.
Here are the full prices for the Paris 2024 Pass:
Anticipate your trips with an interactive map
The government has set up an interactive map at anticipateerlesjeux.gouv.fr which will allow you to plan your travels during the Paris Olympics. You will find the state of the roads and public transport during the event. The platform already indicates “the most impacted public transport lines in Île-de-France” with the stations closed, in particular.
